Intelligence of Ants

Most of us rest in a general hazy belief that ants are wonderfully intelligent animals, without knowing exactly in what ways and degrees the intelligent action of these animals is displayed. This books analyzes facts regarding the intelligence of ants : their Powers of Special Sense, Powers of Communication, Memory, Nursing, Keeping Pets, Play and Leisure..., and presents how they organize their society.
Taken altogether these facts certainly justify the remark of the most illustrious of naturalists: "The brain of an ant is one of the most marvelous atoms of matter in the world, perhaps more so than the brain of a man."
