seourae Of the Tropics.

Fungus-growing or parasol ants are
Of great interest both on account OF
their unusual and complex instincts
and in their relation to man; for they
are one of the scourges Of the tropics.
Thep strip plants of their foliage, and,
carrying the leaves into their nests,
masticate them and plant the residue
in a specially prepared garden; a spe-
cies of fungus soon appears in album
dance. The larger workers cut and
gather the leaves, those of medium
size do the chewing and the smallest
ants in the colony destroy the spores
OF all other fungi but the edible and
prune that. This latter work is most
important, for if the fungus once gets
the upper hand and begins to branch,
the ants are fairly driven from their
home by their own bread-fruit trees.
