Abstract

In the October-December, 1919, issue of this BULLETIN my esteemed friend, Mr. Wm. T. Davis, has published some observations of the common American social wasps, a most welcome addition to the scanty literature of the subject in America. Among other interesting points, he relates several cases in which two, three, or four queens of the common Eastern Polistes pallipes Lepeletier ( = metrica Say; variatus Say) had worked together in establishing a new colony, though in this as in other species of Polistes each queen as a rule starts her nest alone.
