FoRMICIDyE. 
Von Hagens publishes (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1868, pp. 266-268) some notes 
on various species of Ants. — 1. E. rtifa : two forms occur, in one of which the 
abdomen is densely setose, in the other naked. The author finds that the 
hairy form quits its nest at the approach of winter, and takes up its abode in 
the ground ; he seems to think that this peculiarity, in conjunction with the 
diflerential characters, may justify its being regarded as a distinct species. 
2. jP. co7igercns : the winged forms appear several times in the year from the 
same colony, usually only of one sex. 3. Tolyei'gus rufcscens ; notice of its 
predatory excursions. 4. Lasius Jlavus : notice of the winged forms. The 
author further refers to the occurrence of Chenniimi with Strongylognathus 
testaceus, and to the occurrence of Asemorhoptrum lippidum near Cleves. 
E. Norton publishes (Amer. Naturalist, ii. pp. 67-72) some notes on the
