Note 3 — Chapter VII · FIRST HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE AMAZON ANTS.
James Rawlins Johnson translation
To avoid the too frequent repetition of the same word, I shall take the liberty, when speaking of the dark Ash-coloured Ant, occasionally to use the appellation of Negro, or Negro Ant; a term not inapplicable, when we consider the dark colour of this species, and the situation it holds in the colony, of providing for and administering to, the wants, &c. of the Amazons.—T.
