One pupae and six larvae were still alive. Probably the 

 water had a little oil on it. 



KENNETH. Had the ants carried their babies to get a 

 drink or were they trying to escape from the robbers? Did 

 they intend to float on the water with their babies to escape 

 the robbers? Or did the oil on the water capture them? 

 Who told you some of the ants were robbers? 



ALBERT. Ant said they were robbers, but that we 

 would have to find out about them ourselves. 



KENNETH. The other day I found a number of Long- 

 legs trying to escape across a cement sidewalk with their 

 young. Their baby queens were so large the workers could 

 not drag them, in the excitement. Wonder if they had not 

 been attacked by robber ants also? 



ALBERT. We must keep a watchout for these robbers 

 and learn about their habits. Maybe we can find out what 

 their name is also.
