Abstract
AN elaborate treatise on the senses of insects, especially ants, illustrated by numerous experiments. The book deserves the most serious attention of students of psychology and animal intelligence; but it would occupy too much space, nor would any useful object be gained, by attempting to epitomise either the body of the work or even the author's deductions. We may, however, quote the following conclusions:—
Ants and Some Other Insects. An Inquiry into the Psychic Powers of these Animals.
With an Appendix on the Peculiarities of their Olfactory Sense. By Dr. August Forel. Translated from the German by Prof. William Morton Wheeler. Pp. 49; figures. (Chicago, 1904.) Price 2s. 6d.
