continues, ‘ not only agricultural ants in 
Texas, but a species that is a regular 
borticultui'isl. These plant with shade- 
trees the mounds of sand thrown out 
from their cells and exteusire tunnels. 
They cannot stand our summer sun, nor 
travel over the unshaded plains to bring 
in provision, and hence the necessity of 
tunnels or under-ground passages to the 
trees and patches of herbaceous plants 
that yield the leaves upon which they 
subsist. The excavations sometimes ex- 
tend outwards 400 or 500 yards. To 
allow suflScient space for carrying a 
piece of leaf through it as wide as a 
dime, or sometimes larger, the tunnel is 
generally an inch in diameter, termi- 
nating most commonly under a shady 
tree, or in a garden or corn field. When 
they enter a garden in this way they 
seldom fail to ruin it, all kinds of fruit 
trees, flowering shrubs and garden vege- 
tables being trimmed of their leaves.’” —
