I have seen no ants for some time, except theJet-ants, which frequent gate-posts.  These continue still to run forwards, & backwards on the rails of gates, & up the posts, without seeming to have anything to do.  Nor do they appear all the summer to carry any sticks or insects to their nests like other ants.
