Abstract

MANY authors have given their opinion that the termites or white ants are nothing more than socialised cockroaches; but, so far, definite proof to this effect has been entirely lacking. The nearest approach to any scientific theory of descent is that of Crampton1, in which the author concludes that the termites come nearest to cockroaches in their morphology and are probably descended from some very remote ancestor, but not from true cockroaches.
