African, Ants.

In recent lecture in New York, NJ. Du
Chaillu described q species of African ants,
some Of which are so terrible to man, and
even to the beasts of the woods, from their
venomous bite. their fierce temper and vorac
ity, that their path is freely abandoned to
them. The most remarkable and most
dreaded of all is the black Bashikouay.-
There are two other varieties of Bashikouay
besides the black kind, These black Basbi.

in long, regular line, line about two
inches broad, and often several miles in
length all along this rank are larger ants
who act as ofheers-stand outside the ranks
and keep this singular army in order. If
they come to place where there are no trees
to shelter them from the sun, whose heat
they cannot bear. they Immediately build an
underground tunnel through which the whole
army pass in columns to the forest beyond.
When they grow hungry, as by sudden
command, the long line spreads itself through
the forest, advancing forward, attacking and
devouring all living things with fury that
is qsite irresistible. The elephant and the
gorilla fly before them the black men run

When they enter house they clear it of
everything. Cockroaches are devoured in
an instant: rats and mice spring around the
room in vain. They will not touch vegetable
matter thus they are very useful. clearing
the country of many insects. When On the
march, the insect world flies before them,

Bashikouay army heralded to me by this
means. Wherever they go they make clean
sweep, even ascending to the tops of the
trees in pursuit of their prey. Their man
ner of attack is an impetuous leap, instantly
the strong pincers are fastened, and they
only let go when the piece gives way. At
such time this little insect seems animated
by kind of fury, which causes it to disre
gard entirely its own safety. The negroes
relate that criminals, by which they gener
ally mean wizards, have sometimes been
exposed on the path Of the Bashikouay ants,
tied to tree so they might not escape, and
been devoured to the bones. They are larger
than any ants we have in America. The
