All these ants appeared quite insensible. Altogether 
sixteen friends weretaken to the nest and fivethrown into 
the water, while of the strangers only three were taken 
to the nest, and fifteen were thrown into the water. 
Moreover, as in the preceding observation, even the 
three strangers which were at first taken to the nest 
were soon brought out again and thrown away ; while 
this was not the case with any of the friends as far as 
we could ascertain, though we searched diligently for 
them also. In this case also all the intoxicated ants 
were motionless and apparently insensible. 
January 15.—Repeated the same experiment, 
beginning at 12.20. Up to7 p.m. not one of the intoxi- 
cated ants had been moved. At 8.20 we found a 
stranger in the water, at 9.30 another, and at the 
following morning athird. The others were untouched. 
January 17.—Repeated the same experiment, 
beginning at 11.30.
