The pellets of the sub- stratum are undoubtedly particles of soft, chlorophylless vege- table matter collected by the workers in the immediate vicinity of the nest but I was unable to identify them more closely or to observe the ants in the act of gathering Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
