Mter.this, for an hour no more ants came. On this occasion, 

 therefore, while there were ten pins, out of thirty ants, sixteen 

 came to the right one, while fourteen went to one or other of the 

 nine wrong ones. 



July 18. I put out the boards as before at 4 o'clock. Up to 

 4.25 no ant came. I then put one (No. 1) to the honey ; she fed 

 for a few minutes, and went away at 4.31. 



At 4.35 she came bact with fonr friends, and went nearly 

 straight to the honey. At 4.42 she went away, but came back 

 almost directly, fed, and went away again. 



At 4.57 she returned, and at 5.8 went away again. 



„ 4.45 an ant came to wrong pin.
