LIV. — Neiv Ants f rum Australia. 

 By W. C. Crawley, B.A., F.E.S., F.il.M.S. 



This paper deals, with one or two exceptions, with ants 

 collected by ]Mr. J. Clark in Western Australia, principally 

 in the Perth district. In addition to new species, races, and 

 varieties, we have been able, thanks to Mr. Clark's very 

 thorough collecting, to add descriptions of many males and 

 females of species the workers of which were hitherto only 

 known. 



Opportunity has been taken to re-describe some of F. 

 Smith's much discussed types, as a good deal of misappre- 

 hension has existed among foreign myrmecologists who have 

 been unable to see the types themselves. 



I am indebted to my friend, Professor Carlo Emery, for 

 his unfailing kindness in giving me the benefit of his know- 

 ledge in doubtful cases.
