(Ch. 5. Checks) northern Lioness is hunting for food, it is asserted the hyænas prey on her young. In very many other cases the check falls not on the egg, but on the young: thus Smeathman (Philosoph. Transact. 1781, p. 167) says not one young white ant termite out of a million can survive to form a nest. thinks that not a pair in many millions of the Termes or white ant lays the foundation of a new community, common ants being the chief destroyers. In other cases, of which instances have been

Ants, could not possibly have been thus acquired. [pencil insertion by Litchfield:] (p. 257) If It will be universally admitted that the instincts of each species are good for it as important as th under the its conditions of life, as important for its welfare is as is as [illeg] corporeal structure. Then Under changed conditions of life it is at least possible that slight modifications of instinct might be profitable to any species. And if it can be shown that natural instincts do vary ever so

. Finally, it may not be a logical deduction, but to my imagination it is, far more satisfactory to look at such instincts as the young Cuckoo ejecting its foster-brothers— , ants making slaves,— the larvæ of ichneumonidæ feeding within the live live bodies of caterpillars,— not as instincts specially given by the Creator, but as very small parts consequences of of one general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings;— namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest Live the weakest Die

At the same time I laid on the same place a small parcel of the pupæ of another species, F. flava, with a few of these little yellow ants still clinging to the fragments of the nest. This species is sometimes, though rarely, made into slaves, as has been described by Mr. Smith. Although so small a species, it is very courageous, and I have seen it ferociously attack other ants. In one instance I found to my surprise an independent community of F. flava under a stone beneath a nest of the slave
