Abstract
MUCH consideration of the ways of ants has imparted to Sir John Lubbock so large a measure of the wisdom of industry, that even King Solomon himself could scarcely have failed to appreciate the result. The work which has just appeared under the above title may be regarded as a sister volume to the “Ants, Bees, and Wasps,” in the same scientific series. Its scope, however, is wider, and, in consequence, its subject-matter is calculated to be of even more interest to the general public, notwithstanding that “Ants, Bees, and Wasps” is already in its ninth edition.
The Senses, Instincts, and Intelligence of Animals, with Special Reference to Insects.
By Sir John Lubbock “International Scientific Series,” Vol. LXV. (London: Kegan Paul, Trench, and Co., 1888.)
