Some large anthills, and very small palm trees, not six feet in height, were noticed for the first time so far south.
The whole country, both hill and valley, wood and plain, abounds with anthills, some of which are six or eight feet high, and twice as much in circumference.
They were then kept in artificial anthills until their dissection in the following days.
Ants were collected from anthills or plants to which they were attached.
The most frequently occurring position for these workers was head down and on plants in the south-eastern part of the anthill.
