Ephialtes sp.  ♀︎, ant. 26; taken on window in Trinity College, Dublin, by Dr. Bryan P. Beirne.


4th August 1944.

The fifth very hot & fine day in succession!  At 8.30 P.M. saw a small ant on concrete at NW corner of house & watched it for a couple of minutes & then went into house to get a tube (where delayed by a visitor), but on return it had disappeared (probably into crack of concrete!);  nevertheless I am almost certain it was a dialated ☿ of Leptothorax acervorum!  See note on p.345.


Swifts, nearly all our birds departed on night of 4th-5th Aug.!
