Abstract
Since the behavior of insects is always of interest it seems worth while to record a nest of the black hornet, Vespula maculata (L.), built flat on the ground, while a couple of rods from it there was a nest of the yellow-jacket, Vespula arenaria (Fabr.), situated 15 feet above ground on the limb of a tree. The writer has observed hundreds of the nests of the black, or bald-faced hornet, but the one here described appears to be unique. The altitude of the nest ranges widely, to be sure, from two to three feet in bushes up to 30 or 40 feet high in trees, but this variation involves no change in the construction of the nest.
