A French traveller has discovered new species
of ant in Siam, or, at least new trait he has
before seen recorded. The creatures were small of
a gray color. and lived in damp places. They
eIed often and in troops which seemed to be under
the direction OF a commander who rode on .'horsa-
back NJ NJ. Mefssen, the Frenchman, who noticed
this popularity, attracted TO these groups by
discovering that each company contained a large
ant that travelled more rapidly than the others
Observing them more closely he noticed that each
large ant always carried small gray upon its
back though the remainder of the troops were on
foot. This mounted ant would ride out from the
line travel swiftly along the column from head to
rear and apparently overlook their manceuvres. NJ
Nielsen concluded from what he that this
species of ant while on its travels. is under the
direction Of. a commander, though such "ant
horses" as the general rides must be rare and
valuable, for he scarcely ever found more than one
mounted ant in a colony.
