On page 138, Vol. XXIII., is mentioned the finding, in rotten logs, of colonies of this species. The fate of the speciments taken on 30th April may be related. Unfortunately the individuals then taken were not counted, but they consisted of workers and larvæ, the latter being more numerous. The box was examined on 1st June and it was found that many of the larvæ had formed cocoons, and that the remainder were feasting on a green caterpillar, which had been dragged down into the nursery.
