Sense Of Direction in Insects.

DR.. Fl. G. McCook has observed a
very accurate sense of direction display
ed by the 'horse-ant' of Great Britain,
in laying out roads from the aut-hills to
points in the surrounding woods. These
roads or trails had in places a width of
from two to four inches, and we're dis
tinctly marked upon the surface of the
ground, which was stained dark brown
or black, probably by the formic acid
excluded from the insects, aad the leaves
and grass over which they ran were
were pressed down and smoothed by the
constant passing OF innumerable legs.
From one large mound three roads ran
beneath the tall underground with re-
mafkable directness to different oak-trees
in which numerous aphides afforded
food-supply. Road No. l was about
sixty-fiye feet in length, and ran in an
almost perfectly straight line. No. 2
was about seventy feet long, and varied
less than three inches from a direct line
measuring from the tree to n point with
in two feet of the terminal tree. There
the trail made q detour of about six
inches. No. 3 was a little over one hun
dred feet in length. A short distance
from the nest it touched an old stump
which DETECTED the path at slight an
gle, and further on it crossed foot-path
where the travel Of the ants was much
interfered with by passing human feet.
In spite of the difficulties of the track,
when the entire trail was staked off, its
terminus was found to deviate less than
three feet from n straight line drawn
from the point of departure. Popular
