This was her last visit. During the whole day no 
other wasp found the honey. [I also tried other wasps, 
concealing the honey in the same manner, and with a

I have no doubt some wasps would make even more

The following are descriptions of some new species 
referred to in the preceding pages. -The first is the 
Australian honey ant. 
CaMPONOTUS INFLATUS, 1. sp. Operaria.—Long. 
15 mill. Nigra, tarsis pallidioribus ; subtiliter coriacea, 
setis cinereo-testaceis sparcis; antennis tibiisque haud 
pilosis ; tarsis infra hirsutis ; mandibulis punctatis, hir- 
sutis, sexdentatis ; clypeo non carinato, antice integro ; 
petioli squama modice incrassata, antice convexa, pos- 
tice plana emarginata. ad. Australian. 
The colour is black, the feet being somewhat paler. 
The body is sparsely covered with stiff cinereo-testa- 
ceous hairs, especially on the lower and anterior part of 
the head, the mandibles, and the posterior edge of the 
thorax. The head and thorax are finely coriaceous. 
The antenne are of moderate length, twelve-jointed ; 
the scape about one-third as long as the terminal por- 
tion, and somewhat bent. At the apex of the scape 
are a few short spines, bifurcated at the point. At the 
apex of each of the succeeding segments are a few 
much less conspicuous spines, which decrease in size
