Abstract
These observations on the piles of finely cut vegetable matter in the Javanesegilvus nests agree very well with those made byBathellier in Indochina, and besides, provide some useful additions to them. In many points they are also in agreement with the observations ofGrasse etNoirot for the African species. The main differences with the habits ofnatalensis in this respect appear to be that in the latter species the particles are piled up in the uppermotsts part of the habitaculum and are made into rather firm lumps, which are excavated afterwards. Therefore, the method of storing ofgilvus seems to bear a closer resemblance to that ofPseudacanthothermes.
