not. come back. The one with many made 32 journeys, and 

 brought 19 friends. 



Eit^. 5. — Time occupied, 1 hour. The ant with few larvse made 



10 journeys, and brought 3 friends. The other made 5 journeys 

 and brought 16 friends. 



Exp. 6. — Time occupied, 1| hour. The ant with few larvae made 

 15 journeys, but brought no friends. The other made 11 journeys 

 and brought 21 friends. 



Ea!p. 7. — I now the reversed the glasses. Time occupied 3 

 hours. The ant with few larvae made 23 journeys and brought 



4 friends. 



Eicp. 8. — Time occupied, 1^ hour. The ant with few larvae made 

 7 journeys and brought 3 friends. The one with many larvae made 

 19 journeys and brought 6 friends. 



-Erp. 9. — Time occupied, 1 hour. The ant with few larvae made 



11 journeys and brought 1 friend. The one with many larvae made 

 15 journeys and brought 13 friends. 



Exp. 10. — I now reversed the glasses, the same two ants being 

 under observation ; but the ant which in the previous observation 

 had few larvae, now consequently had many, and vice versa. Time 

 occupied 2 hours. The ant with few larvae made 21 journeys and 

 brought 1 friend. The one with many larvae made 32 journeys and 

 brought 20 friends. These two experiments are, I think, very 

 striking. 



E^. 11. — Time occupied, 5 hours. The ant with few larvae 

 made 1 9 journeys and brought 1 friend. The one with many larvae 

 made 26 journeys and brought 10 friends. 



E/jcp. 12. — Time occupied, 3 hours. The ant with few larvae 

 made 20 journeys and brought 4 Iriends. The one with many larvae 

 brought no friends and made 17 journeys. 



Exp. 13. — Time occupied, 1 hour. The ant with few larvae made 



5 journeys and brought no friends. The one with many made 

 10 journeys and brought 16 friends. 



Exp. 14. — I now reversed the glasses. Time occupied, 2| hours 

 The ant with few larvae made 10 journeys and brought 2 friends. 

 The other made 41 journeys and brought 3 friends. 



Exp. 15. — Time occupied, 4g hours. The ant with few larvae 

 made 40 journeys and brought 10 friends. Of these, 8 came at the 

 beginning of the experiment, and I much doubt whether they 

 were brought ; during the last hour and a half she only brought 

 1 friend. However, I think it fair to record the observation.
