 1 2' 11. She returned, and the same thing happened again. 

 12.28. She came back to the honey. 12.31. Flew straight away. 

 12.45. 



She did not return any more that evening, but made her 

 appearance again at half-past six the next morning. 



From twelve o'clock, when she had learnt her way, till five, she 

 made twenty-five visits in five hours, or about five an hour, as in 

 the previous cases. 



It struck me as curious that on the following day this wasp 

 seemed by no means so sure of her way, but over and over again 

 went to the closed window. . 



I will give one other illustration : — 



September 21. At 11.50 I fed a wasp.
