chesnut. The nest was composed by 4 honey-combs, whose dimen- 
sions were nearly the same, a little more than 30 cm. in breadth 
and between 20 and 30 cm. in height. 
In Figs. 3—4 a nest, found in a garden at Frederiksberg 
(Copenhagen) is represented; the nest was attached to the branches 
of a honey-suckle, growing on a pear-tree, and consisted of 5 honey- 
combs, which were mutually connected. The length of the nest 
was ca. 38 cm and the breadth ca. 23 cm. 
In both nests were found neither drone- nor queen-celis and 
in both only few cells contained honey.
