Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ant Communities and How They Are Governed: A Study in Natural Civics
It has been more than thirty-two years - almost a full generation of men - since the author published in the Transactions of the American Entomological Society (philadelphia) his first Observations of American ants. Since then he has given to the world in books, in publica tions of scientific societies, and in magazine articles, his studies of various species, chiefly devoting himself to their habits rather than to their systematic classification. In this volume, Ant Communities, taken together with the first part of Nature's Craftsmen, he presents a sub stantial summary of these prolonged observations. And he has brought them down to date by associating therewith the latest observations of some of the leading naturalists of the scientific world.
