37131054439245D.Pdf THE ANTS OF TIMOTHY THUMMEL F ANTAS TIC story in the style of Gullivers A Travels or Erewhon, but founded upon the marvellous social life of the ants. A naturalist finds in Central Africa, in a huge ants' nest, dry leaves bearing curious spots. Another scientist, Timothy Thummel, astounds the world with the theory that they may be a kind of script written by ants themselves. He is confined in a lunatic asylum, where he succeeds in deciphering the hieroglyphics as Chronicles of a prehistoric Ant Race. A legendary Giant Ant laid the eggs of the primeval ancestors, and commanded them to work incessantly. Social upheavals take place, resulting in two privileged castes being founded- the "Holy-Ants" and the "Lord-Ants." The story reaches its climax dn the narration of the great Ant World-War, foµght between the three principle races on an area of the size of Lincoln's Inn Fields.

The Ants of Timothy Thtimmel by Arpad Ferenczy Jonathan Cape Ltd Eleven Gower Street, London FIRST PUBLISHED 19:24 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED WITH THREE DRAWINGS BY T. H. ROBINSON PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY BUTLER AND TANNER LTD., FROME AND LONDON TO HORACE DONISTHORPE Introduction H_E .few years whi~h have elapsed since the T tragic death of Timothy Thiimmel, Ph.D., Privat-Docent of Entomology, late Custodian of the Insect House at the Zoological Gardens in Budapest, have been sufficient to silence .all the army of his scientific opponents, at the head of whom was Professor Armstrong, the famous African traveller and naturalist. Many of his antagonists have found themselves brought to open retractation, or even to apology. At that time, however, now more than a lustrum, when Thiimmel's first reports on the ARUWIMI ANTS appeared in the leading zoological journals of the world (first of all in the Hungarian Termeszet­ Tudomanyi Kozlony and in the British Entomological Review), they created a sensation not only in the small circle of zoologists, but throughout the whole world, among all cultivated minds. But Thiimmel then reaped only scorn and an unanimous re­ jection. He also lost the reputation which he had won so laboriously by his scientific travels, extending over several years, in New Guinea, whence he had returned, already a physically broken man, with a most marvellous collection of Coleo- and H ymenoptera. Instead of the well­ merited chair, the Professorship of Zoology in the Budapest University, and the coveted recognition and applause, his share was public ridicule, the common lot of so many original minds and great pioneers of human knowledge. That he, enfeebled by tropical fever and his immense exer- 7 INTRODUCTION tions in defending his views and scientific reputa­ tion, soon afterwards departed voluntarily from a life which had lost, for him, all charm, bereft of public esteem and recognition-who could wonder? In the closely written quarto diary books, found among his papers after his most lamentable death by his own hand on the 16th May 1916 in the Kurhaus of Elm, Switzerland, the truth for which he died, and which was not allowed himself to communicate to the world, and to see triumph, is preserved, fortunately. To the last, what was to him an absolute certainty-that his theory on the brain and intelligence of the ANTS was founded, not on mere surmise or conjecture, hypothesis or phantasy, but on well-authenticated scientific data-is now a well-known fact to many of his fellow-scientists, and will soon be so to every cultivated layman throughout the world. Thiimmel was the first scientist to formulate the extraordinary theory that the cerebral ganglia of the Hymenoptera are relatively more developed than those of the Mammalia, and consequently, that the chief representatives of the former genus, the ants, are far more intelligent beings, in their sphere, than any of the mammalia, such as dogs, apes, or even-human beings! Hence the superiority and marvellous progress of these tiny insects in economics and moral and social life ! His startling theory, once so boldly formulated, wa~ followed by the strange proposal at the Inter­ nat10nal Congress of Zoology at Jena, to revise the whole antiquated nomenclature of Linnreus, and transfer the misleading title of" sapiens" from Man to the-Ant ! Though his resolution found not even 8 INTRODUCTION a seconder, much less a supporter, and was unani­ mously rejected by that learned Conference, he soon afterwards acted on it, as if it had been carried unanimously at Jena. In the next edition of his small Text-Book of Zoology for Secondary Schools he called MAN "HOMO immoralis semisapiens" and the ANT "FORMICA sapiens diligens" (founded, as he had explained in a foot-note, on the most conspicuous characteristics of the two species). But his book was confiscated, and he was deprived of his Lectureship and his living as Custodian of Insects, by the reactionary clerical government in Hungary at that period. · One day we are sure all his views will be univers­ ally accepted, and envelop his memory in the golden rays of a posthumous glory, and place his name among those of the greatest discoverers and thinkers of mankind, in Zoology and Sociology, since Darwin and Spencer. For to-day it is evident that the proofs produced by him in corroboration of his strange theory were not concocted in levity by himself, as some of his malignant opponents had __affirmed. Those yellow-spotted leaves, at that time so vehemently discussed, which were collected on the Congo by Professor Ixli in the nineties, and deciphered many years after his death by Dr. Thiimmel, have been reproduced since in many facsimilia by zoological periodicals in Europe and America, and have made it evident that they were unquestionably authentic records of the pre­ historic, social and intellectual development of certain ant-tribes existing even at present in Central Africa, and are veritable documents of -HISTORY. 9 INTRODUCTION To us, to whom fell the sad privilege of carrying out the last will of our departed friend, and of administering his literary estate, there remains only one duty to discharge : to transmit to posterity the genial, lifelong work of our friend unaltered, without addition or subtraction, as we found it at Elm. We now perform this duty in the full conviction that we thereby not only accomplish the complete rehabilitation of our late friend, but also add a valuable gem to the literary treasures of humanity. Let the reader draw his conclusions, however, not from our eulogies, but from Dr. Timothy Thiim­ mel's own reports.

    AND ^'« JOURNAL OF VARIATION. Vol. XXXIV. No. 1. January 15th, 1922 Myrmecophilous Notes for 1921. By HORACE DONISTHORPE, F.Z.S., F.E.S., etc. The very long hot summer aud the drought of 1921, made it a very them- poor year for Ants in England ; nearly all the species burying selves much deeper than usual in the ground. The entire failure of many species of Aphids during part of the summer also had a marked effect upon the Foiuiicidac. My colleague Mr. Crawley tells me that he was informed of several cases of ants entering dwellings this year, where they had never done so before. I also heard of similar occur- rences, and we are both agreed to attribute this to the lack of plant-lice. Some ants, as we shall see later, had their marriage-flights quite a month earlier than is usual with them. Bormica sangninea, which always goes down for the winter sooner than our other species of Formica, disappeared still earlier than usual this year. FORMICID^. Ponera piinctatissiina, Roger.—My friend, Mr. Philip Harwood, sent several winged females and workers of this rare little ant to me to name. He tells me he captured two ^ ? in fungi, and a winged $ which he beat off a fungus on October 29th, in the Limpsfield Woods, near Westerham. On November 5th be took twelve more specimens, locality, in a including winged ? J as well as ^ ^ , in the same saw- dust heap on which some large fungi were growing.

  • Cedric Collingwood: an Appreciation
    OBITUARY ‘The Great’ Cedric Collingwood: an appreciation By Simon Hoy (SH), Phil Attewell (PA), Torstein Kvamme (TK) and Jonathan Hughes (JH) It was with much sadness that BWARS reported in its last Newsletter the death of world- renowned ant expert Cedric Collingwood. Cedric died on 11th September 2016 following injuries sustained in a fall at his home in Skipton. He had reached the age of 97 but his passing still came as a shock to many of his friends who had an, albeit unrealistic, sense of him going on forever. In Cedric’s library was subsequently found a copy of the book ‘The Hundred-Year Old Man Who Climbed out of the Window and Disappeared’ (by Jonas Jonasson, 2009). It is a shame that Cedric did not quite make that milestone as he still had so much to give, not just to the world of myrmecology but to his many friends and family. Despite failing mobility and eyesight, which bothered him because he found identifying ants more difficult, Cedric’s memory and intellect remained formidable and he was still drafting papers on ants up until last year. He also continued to travel widely, having only recently returned from visiting his son Ben and family in Japan. Cedric was born in Lewisham in 1919 to his English father, Lawrance Arthur Collingwood (CBE), a composer and respected conductor, and his Russian mother Annie. Cedric had three siblings, Andrew, Marianna and Francesca and he is survived by a number of nieces and nephews - as well as by Ben and his granddaughter, Mio. Whilst he was christened Cedric Alexei Collingwood, partly in respect of his Russian ancestry, Cedric’s middle name was often shortened to Alex.
