112 Psyche [June
Perhaps the most striking difference in the habits of the two species is indicated by the fact that the eggs and larvse obtained by Grossbeck were dug from open burrows and nothing was seen like a covered burrow. Emphor fuscojubatus very plainly makes use of the turret earth and even the ejected pellets for covering the nest not long after oviposition, leaving, however, a nearly circular depression somewhat like the impression of a finger tip in the sand. That no bees were seen at Arlington after Sep. 3 may very well have been due to unfavorable weather conditions. At Cape May Point some were still active during the first week of September, but how much longer I do not know.
The death rate of the larvse must be high, for from twenty-one cocoons preserved by Grossbeck he reports as emerging only one male and six females. This took place between July 11 and July 20, although on July 21 no bees were seen in the vicinity of the nesting site. Probably the time of emerging from the cocoon is nearly the same for E. fuscojubatus, although I have as yet made no observations on this point.
ANTS COLLECTED IN GEORGIA BY DR. J. C. BRADLEY AND MR. W. T. DAVIS.
The following list is compiled from a large collection of ants made in different parts of Georgia by Dr. J. C, Bradley and a 'smaller collection made by Mr. W. T. Davis in a more restricted area. I have indicated the names of these collectors by their initials for each locality.

11. Jfyrmica scabrinodis Nyl. var. schenclci Emery.-Clayton (W. T. D.).
12. Leptothorax bradleyi sp. nov.
Worker. Length 2.6 mm.
Head rather large, subrectangular, a little longer than broad, with straight, parallel sides and feebly excised posterior border. Eyes rather small, at ihe middle
of the sides of the head. Mandibles and clypeus moderately convex, the latter with straight, entire anterior border. Frontal area small and indistinct. Antennae 11-jointed; scapes reaching half way between the eyes and the posterior corners of the head; funiculi with a 3-jointed club; first funicular joint as long as the three succeeding joints together; joints 2-6 much broader than long, joint 7 as long as broad; terminal joint longer than the two penultinate joints together. Thorax rather robust, narrower than the head, broader in front than behind, but as high behind as in front, with flattened dorsal and lateral surfaces and rather angular humeri, without any traces of a mesoepinotal constriction. Epinotal spines stout, as long as broad at their bases, laterally compressed, suddenly tapering at their tips, directed backward and slightly upward, further apart at their bases than long. Petiole from above about I$ times as long as broad, pyriform, with rounded sides; its node in profile with feebly concave anterior and decidedly convex posterior slopes, meeting with a distinct transverse ridge, the lower border in profile feebly concave and with a small, compressed anterior t 00th. Postpetiole from above transversely elliptical, slightly broader than the petiole, slightly broader than long, in profile smaller than the petiole, as long as high, with evenly rounded, convex node. Gaster elongate elliptical, its sides rather straight, its anterior border excised in the middle. Legs stout, with incrassated femora.




================================================================================

114 Psyche [Jun
Head, including the mandibles, thorax, petiole, pos tpetiole and antennae opaque; gaster and legs shining. Mandibles finely longitudinally striated. Clypeus coarsely longitudinally rugose, on the sides reticulately rugose. Head above and on the sides finely and evenly longitudinally rugose, with the interrugal spaces reticulate-punctate. Thorax, petiole and postpetiole densely punctate, the thorax also reticulately and longitudinally rugose both on the dorsal and pleural surfaces. Hairs yellowish, short and rather abundant, clavate and erect on the head, thorax and abdomen, appressed and pointed on the legs and scapes. Color ferruginous red; antennae, legs and gaster, except the posterior borders of the segments, somewhat paler; mandibular teeth black. Described from a single specimen taken by Mr. J. C. Bradley on Billy's Island in the Okefenokee Swamp.
In the shape of the body and in coloration, this species is very similar to L. schaumi Roger, but differs in the much coarser, longi- tudinal rugosity of the head and thorax, much larger and differ- ently shaped epinotal spines and in the shape of the petiolar node, the sides and posterior declivity of which are much more convex and rounded. From L. fortinodis Mayr., bradlezji differs in these same characters, except the shape of the petiole, and in the paler coloration.
