SECOND YARKAND MISSION. 
rufo-fuscous ; beneath, the pro-and metathorax and also the legs castaneo-rufous. Abdomen, 
subglobose ; the scale and petiole, and the two basal segments castaneo-rufous, their apical 
margins black, the second most broadly so ; beneath, these segments are entirely castaneous. 
Female, length 5 lines. 
Sab . — Sind valley, Kashmir. Taken in August. 
25. Camponotus Bacchus. 
Femina. — C. capite abdomineque nigris, metathorace pedibusque pallide ferrugineis.

In the same bottle in spirit a male ant accompanied the female ; its size and general 
appearance justify me in considering it to be the male of C. Bacchus ; it is lines long, 
black, with the antennae and legs pale furruginous, the scape being darker than the flagel- 
lum ; the mandibles, palpi and post-scutcllum are also pale ferruginous ; the wings flavo- 
hyaline ; the nervines pale rufo-testaceous ; the stigma fuscous. 
/AA.— Jhilam Yalley, Punjab Hills. Ceylon, Calcutta, and Islands of the Eastern 
Archipelago. 
This genus is cosmopolitan ; its species are numerous, new kinds occurring in almost 
every collection made in little frequented places ; any attempt to calculate the number of 
species would be an impossibility; until each species has been collected from its nest, and all 
the different kinds of sexes carefully ascertained, the number of specific for ms cannot be ascer- 
tained; workers of several sizes and forms occur in nests of many species, and if captured 
at large, are doubtless described as distinct ; the number of species doubtless amounts to 
hundreds. 
26. Formica simulata. 
Operaria. — F. rufo-ferruginea, Icevissime cinereo-micans ; fronte vertice et abdomine 
nigrofuscis ; squama subtriangulariter rotundata, margine supero rotundato ; area 
frontali opaca. 
The head red, with the vertex and the front, as far as the insertion of the antenna 
more or less rufo-fuscous; the clypeus with a longitudinal sharp carina in the middle; 
anterior margin rounded and entire ; mandibles ferruginous, with their teeth black ; the 
antennae ferruginous, with the flagellum, beyond the third joint, fuscous. Thorax and 
legs bright blood-red. Abdomen covered with fin e cinereous pile; in some example 
fusco-ferruginous at the base ; with a few scattered pale setae ; the scale of the peduncle red, 
its superior margin rounded. Worker, length 3 lines. 
Sab. — On the road across the Pamir, from Sirikol to Panja ; also at Yarkand ; Apr 1 
and May. 
This species closely resembles the Formica sanguinea of Europe, particularly small 
workers of that species ; the specimens were collected in spirit ; therefore it is probable the 
entire insect would, when living, be covered with a fine pile.
