Page 79 - On the 17th of June, 1804, whilst walking in the environs of Geneva, between four and five in the evening, I observed close at my feet, traversing the road, a legion of rufescent ants.

In a few minutes they quitted the road, passed a thick hedge, and entered a pasture ground where I followed them.
