Collector's Report : — 



Bangalore, 8-11-1911. — "Termites in dry trunk of tree in 

 garden of Convent of the Good Shepherd. Few soldiers in pro- 

 portion to workers. Tunnels built irregularly in wood and these, 

 strange to say, altogether without inner lining of earthy material 

 as is usually the case with termites." (Assmuth.) — The said 

 lining of tunnels is very often wanting with Calotermes, a species 

 frequently found even on live trees.
