A-NTS, BEES, AND WASPS. A Record of Observations on the 

 Habits of the Social Hymenoptera. By Sir John Lcbbock, Bart., 

 M. P., F. R. S., etc., author of " Origin of Civilization, and the Primi- 

 tive Condition of Man," etc., etc. With Colored Plates. 12mo. 

 Cloth, $2.00. 



"This volume coDtainstho record of various experiments made with ants, bees, and 

 wasps during the last ten years, with a view to test their mental condition and powers 

 of sense. The principal point in which Sir John's mode of experiment diflfers ''rom 

 those of Huber, Foral, McCook, and others, is that he has carefully watched and 

 marked particular insects, and has had their nests under observation for long ptriods 

 — one of his ants^ nests havini: been under constant inspection ever since lti74. His 

 observations are made prtncipally upon ants, because they show more power and flexi- 

 bility of mind ; and the value of his studies is that they belong to the department of 

 original research." 



'■'■ We have no hesitation in saying that the author has presented us with the most 

 valuable series of observations on a special subject that has ever been produced, charm- 

 ingly written, flill of logical deductions, and, when we consider his multitudinous en- 

 giigements, a remarkable illustration of economy of time. As a contribution to insect 

 psychology, It will be long before this book finds a parallel.'*— Xonc^on Athenaeum.

 correct."— ^ocMrrfay Review.

 history of man's development."— iVe«7 York World,
