This observation, taken together with the fact that a number of outdoor colonies of sizes similar to these were found sealed up in small cavities with no communication with the outside world, as shown in Figs I and 2, confirms the conclusions of McCook and others that young queens take no food while rearing their first callows. In addition to these two colonies, reared from the start in arti- ficial nests, I have collected and counted those represented by Tables I. and II. 1 The photographs for the illustrations were taken by Dr. C.
