He took to observing these ants on his walks was very much astonished at one habit. He observed that they carried out the empty cocoon cases, not only out of the nest where they wd have been in the way, but he met them a long way off still carrying their light little burden which would have been blown away by the first puff of

The storing of provisions by the ants is an exercise of acquisitiveness,-the faculty which with us makes rich men and misers. A vast number of curious devices, by which insects provide for the protection and subsistence of their young, whom they are perhaps never to see, are most probably a peculiar restricted effort of

A carriage was heard approaching with the horses trotting, as it drew near the horses were slowed to a walk. My father kept telling the man Now you must'nt look up , so they both sat there looking intently at the ground shuffling along alternately.

. But the most abundant are the ants, great armies of which probably do the work which elsewhere is attended to by others. On entering a tropical forest, one is astonished at their labors. Beaten paths branch off in every direction, in which trains are seen going forth and returning, with burdens often larger than themselves. Sometimes they emigrate in great force. His attention was one day arrested by a multitude of spiders, cockroaches, and lizards, flying together, in a state little short of

I see by my notebook, wonderful and beautiful, flowering parasites, invariably struck me as the most novel object in these grand scenes. Travelling onwards we passed through tracts of pasturage, much injured by the enormous conical ants' nests, which were nearly twelve feet high. They gave to the plain exactly the appearance of the mud volcanos at Jorullo, as figured by Humboldt. We arrived at Engenhodo after it was

The orders Orthoptera and Hemiptera are particularly numerous; as likewise is the stinging division of the Hymenoptera; the bees, perhaps, being excepted.

When the ants came to the road they changed their course, and in narrow files reascended the wall. Having placed a small stone so as to intercept one of the lines, the whole body attacked it, and then immediately retired. Shortly afterwards another body came to the charge, and again having failed to make any impression, this line of
