AMENDING NOTE. 



Professor Wheeler writes that it is necessary to make 

 some amendments to his paper dealing with the ants, taken 

 by Captain White, in last year's Transactions; as "I find 

 that the name Polyrhachis longipes ( 3 ) is preoccupied, and I 

 would substitute for it Polyrhachis macropus. The name 

 "Camponotus aurofasciatus ( 4 ) was given by mistake to the 

 minor worker of Camponotus (Myrmotrema) inflatus, Lub- 

 bock, as I find from examination of some of the material you 

 sent me for study. The minor worker of this ant had not 

 been described, and is so different from the major worker of 

 inflatus that I did not recognize it as belonging to that 

 species.' 1 '
