The Author of this work believes he is right in stating that the following will be found to be the most complete list of Genera and Species of the British Ants yet published. In the preparation of this list as well as in the subsequent differentiation and description of species, though he has exercised an independent judgment, as the sequel will show, he desires to acknowledge the assistance he has received from the scientific works and correspondence of the late Mr. F. Smith, the Synopsis of Mr. E. Saunders, and the record of the captures of the Messrs. J. C. and C. W. Dale, which the latter kindly placed at his disposal. The Author desires to add, that all the species described have passed under his review, and that all but three species have been discovered and observed by him in their native habitats.
