The article focuses on the book "Ants, Bees, and Wasps. A Record of Observations on the Habits of the Social Hymenoptera," by John Lubbock. This volume contains the record of various experiments made with ants, bees, and wasps. The object is not to describe the usual habits of these insects but to test their mental condition and powers of sense. The author have carefully marked and watched particular insects and had nests under observation for long periods, even for seven years. There are also five excellent colored lithographic plates, thirty-one figures in the text, a full index, and a list of nearly seventy books and papers referred to.
