SUPPLEMENT TO HARVESTING ANTS.
During the short time which has elapsed since _Harvesting Ants and
Trap-door Spiders_ left the printer's hands, fresh material has
rapidly accumulated, and an assiduous search after these creatures,
and the continued study of their works and ways, has met with ample
reward and encouragement.
It was my wish, when originally publishing these observations, many
of which were due to the active co-operation of friends, to invite
my readers to take part with me in my pleasure and pursuits, so
that we should from that time work together, and, by communicating
our discoveries to each other, increase our knowledge, and at the
same time enlarge the field of our research. My intention was
that we should leave to others the necessary work of collection,
preservation, and arrangement, and that, while our fellow naturalists
pin specimens into classified cabinets, and devote long hours to the
description of peculiarities of form and colour, we should undertake
the lighter task of complementing their labours by observing and
recording the habits and conditions of existence of the creatures
themselves.
