Abstract

specimens, being many for HW and WL 2 , lesser for HTL, IOD, OOD and often up to 20 for other parts, From these measurements, the following ratios were calculated (Tabs.4-15, *workers alone): WL 2 jHW, HTLjHW, HTLjWL 2 , ELjMOD, LODj MOD, IODjOOD*, GWjEW*, MLjFW*, SOjEL, FLjFW, HTWjHTL and HBWj HTW, The observational errors of these ratios must be variable, probably higher in GW JEW where orientation of each specimen should affect the measurement and in FLjFW, MLjFW, IODjOOD due to the small size of the parts measured,The tables give some trends, First, some ratios vary allomorphically, the Workers Males !W 1 , .J.
