In continuation of the preceding experiments I constructed a circular table 18 inches in diameter. It consisted, as shown in Figs. 27 and 28, of three concentric pieces—a central F G, an intermediate D E, H I, and an outer piece B C, k l, each of these Fig. three pieces being capable of separate rotation. This arrangement was kindly devised for me by Mr. Francis Galton. I then connected the table with a nest of Lasiua niger by a paper bridge a, and also made a paper path across the table, as shown in Fig. 28, divided into five pieces corresponding to the divisions of the table. Tliis I did because I found that the ants wandered less if they were provided with a paper road than if they walked actually on the wood itself. I then placed a cup containing larvae on the table at B, and put an ant on.
