The field expenses of this investigation were supported through a grant from the Research Fund of the Council of the Scientific Staff of the American Museum of Natural History. Study of preserved material has been subsidized by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
Dr. Mont. A. Cazier, Director of the Southwestern Research Station of this Museum, aided the progress of the investigation in many ways, not the least of which was his invaluable help in finding new colonies. His interested cooperation is acknowledged appreciatively, as is that of Mr. John Gordon Anderson, Foreman, and Miss Ellen Ordway, then Scientific Assistant at the Southwestern Research Station. Mr Robert Miller, of Rodeo, New Mexico, participated efficiently as field assistant.
Dr. Roy Whelden, Haskins Laboratory, Union College, kindly made available valuable information from his histological studies of the queens.
