not come back. The one with many made 32 journeys, and 

 brought 19 friends.

10 journeys, and brought 3 friends. The other made 5 journeys 

 and brought 16 friends. 



Exp. 6. — Time occupied, 1| hour. The ant with few larvae made 

 15 journeys, but brought no friends. The other made 11 journeys 

 and brought 21 friends. 



Exp. 7. — I now the reversed the glasses. Time occupied 3 

 hours. The ant with few larvae made 23 journeys and brought 



4 friends.

Exp. 9. — Time occupied, 1 hour. The ant with few larvae made 



11 journeys and brought 1 friend. The one with many larvae made 

 15 journeys and brought 13 friends. 



Exp. 10. — I now reversed the glasses, the same two ants being 

 under observation ; but the ant which in the previous observation 

 had few larvae, now consequently had many, and vice versa. Time 

 occupied 2 hours. The ant with few larvae made 21 journeys and 

 brought 1 friend. The one with many larvae made 32 journeys and 

 brought 20 friends. These two experiments are, I thiuk, very 

 striking. 



Exp. 11. — Time occupied, 5 hours. The ant with few larvae 

 made 19 journeys and brought 1 friend. The one with many larvae 

 made 26 journeys and brought 10 friends. 



Exp. 12. — Time occupied, 3 hours. The ant with few larvae 

 made 20 journeys and brought 4 friends. The one with many larvae 

 brought no friends and made 17 journeys.

5 journeys and brought no friends. The one with many made 

 10 journeys and brought 16 friends. 



Exp. 14. — I now reversed the glasses. Time occupied, 2| hours 

 The ant with few larvae made 10 journeys and brouglit 2 friends. 

 The other made 41 journeys and brought 3 friends. 



Exp. 15. — Time occupied, 4| hours. The ant with few larva? 

 made 40 journeys and brought 10 friends. Of these, 8 came at the 

 beginning of the experiment, and I much doubt whether they 

 were brought; during the last hour and a half she only brought 

 1 friend. However, 1 think it fair to record the observatiou.
