WHEN REMOVED IN THE STATE OF PUPH. 141 
ones, At 11.10 one was attacked. At 11.20 all three 
were being viciously attacked, and yet one was nearly 
cleaned. At 12 one was being attacked, one was alone 
in a corner, the other we could not find. At 12.10 one 
was dragged out of the nest and then abandoned, on 
which, to my surprise, she ran into the nest again, 
which no old ant would. have done. She was at once 
again seized by an antenna. At 12.30 she was still 
being dragged about; the second was being cleaned. 
In this instance, therefore, I think two out of the three 
were eventually accepted as inmates of the nest. 
September 25.—Put two of the young ones into 
nest 1 at 2.30 P.M. At 2.45 one was attacked, but not 
viciously. 3 ditto, 3.15 ditto. No notice was taken of 
the other, though several ants came upand examined her. 
3.30, the first was not attacked, the second was almost 
cleaned. 4, the first has been again attacked, but not 
viciously, and moreover has been partly cleaned. The 
second was evidently received as a friend, and was almost 
‘cleaned. 4.30, they are both comfortably among the 
others and are almost clean. At 5 I could no longer 
distinguish them. 
I now pass to the other batch, namely, pups from 
uest 2 with ants from nest 1. 
September 25.—Put three of the young ants into 
nest 1 at 9.30 a.m. At 9.45 two were attacked, the 
third was by herself. 10 ditto. At 10.15 one made her 
escape from the nest. At 10.20 the third was attacked. 
At 10.30 one of them was dragged out of the nest, and
