_Work on Ants_ (Vol. ix., p. 303.).--I presume that the work for which
[Sigma]. inquires is, _Recherches sur les Moeurs des Fourmis indigènes_,
par P. Huber, Paris, 1810.[7]
[Greek: Halieus.]
Dublin.
[Footnote 7: [Our correspondent [Sigma]. begs us to acknowledge the favour
of the communication of [Greek: Halieus], but his inquiry "on the habits of
ants" is by an author, a M. Hauhart, and of a much later date than Huber's.
He is informed it is to be found in the Transactions of the University of
Basle in Switzerland, published with this title, _Die Zeitschrift der
Basler Hochschule_, 1825, p. 62; but he has not been successful in
obtaining a sight of that work.]]
_Jacobite Garters_ (Vol. viii., p. 586.).--I have lately seen a
watch-ribbon, or perhaps garter, with a Jacobite inscription in white
letters somewhat like that described by E. L. J., but only about half the
length. The middle stripe was red between two blue ones, and yellow edges;
there was no attempt at a plaid. The owner had no tradition about it, as
connected with any particular incident in Prince Charles' career.
