    Description / Table of Contents: Resume Les distributions de trois «formes», en réalité des espèces jumelles d'Iridomyrmex purpureus furent étudiées près de Morgan en Australie du Sud, où la précipitation annuelle est de 230 mm. La dispersion des colonies a été décrite en détail pour une «forme bleue» et pour la formepurpureus sens. strict. qui existait dans cette région bien au-delà de ses limites pour les basses précipitations. Une colonie exceptionnellement grande d'I. purpureus couvrait un territoire de 10 ha: comprenant plus de 85 nids, elle avait plus de 1 500 entrées individuelles. Nous avons décrit les interactions entre les ouvrières des différentes formes, et leurs interactions au sein et entre les colonies de la même forme. La totalité de la faune de fourmis de la région et les faunes qui accompagnaient les différentes espèces d'Iridomyrmex furent étudiées au moyen de récoltes faites à la main et de piègeages dans des fosses. La diversité (abondance d'espèces) et la présence d'espèces de fourmis sans adaptations particulières sont liées au type de végétation et auxIridomyrmex associées. Les prises dans les pièges suggérant que le nombre d'individus et le nombre d'espèces d'autres taxons actifs à la surface du sol, en particulier les collemboles, sont affectés par le nombre de fourmis, en particulier les espèces d'Iridomyrmex et d'autres fourmis sans adaptations particulières. Au niveau évolutif, lesIridomyrmex influencent aussi la faune associé. On a noté la présence d'araignées zodariides présentant un mimétisme de couleur par rapport aux espèces presque identiques d'I. purpureus, dont ils sont des prédateurs. Nous avons noté et discuté des cas possibles de mimétisme d'I. purpureus par des fourmis du genreCamponotus.
    Notes: Summary The distributions of three “forms”, actually sibling species, of meat ant were studied near Morgan, South Australia, an area with mean annual rainfall of 230 mm. Colony dispersion is described for a “blue form” and for formpurpureus sens. strict. which occurs in this locality far beyond its normal low rainfall limit. An unusually large colony ofpurpureus had a territory covering 10 ha with more than 85 nests and over 1,500 individual nest entrances. Worker interactions between forms, and within and between colonies within forms are described. The ant fauna of the locality as a whole and the faunas accompanying differentIridomyrmex species were investigated by means of hand collections and pitfall trapping. Diversity (species — richness) and the occurrence of widely adapted ant species are related to vegetation type and associatedIridomymex. Catches of pitfall traps suggested that the numbers of individuals and species of other taxa active on the soil surface, predominantly Collembola, were affected by numbers of ants, particularlyIridomyrmex species and other, widely adapted ants.Iridomyrmex also influence associated fauna at an evolutionary level. The presence of zodariid spiders which are sibling species-specific colour mimics and predators of meat ants is noted. Possible cases of mimicry of meat ants by ants of the genusCamponotus are recorded and discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Resume Plusieurs loci allozymiques polymorphes (amylase, esterase-1, esterase-3) ont servi de marqueurs génétiques pour l'analyse de quelques aspects du comportement social de deux formes de couleur différente (en réalité des espèces jumelles) de la fourmi à viande,Iridomyrmex purpureus. Quelques données laissent penser que les mâles haploïdes proviennent d'œufs pondus par la reine, et non pas d'œufs pondus par les ouvrières. Il semble qu'une assez grande proportion de colonies d'I. purpureus s.s. et de la forme bleue puisse avoir plus d'une reine. ChezI. purpureus s.s., l'organisation des colonies est souple: on observe de petites colonies qui ont leur propre territoire, dans lesquelles les ouvrières se distinguent génétiquement comme de simples unités de famille, et des grandes colonies à plusieurs nids avec de fréquents échanges d'ouvrières entre les nids. On peut considérer cette souplesse d'organisation comme une réponse aux types très variables d'habitat qu'occupe cette forme de fourmi à viande.
    Notes: Summary Several polymorphic allozyme loci (Amylase, Esterase-1, Esterase-3) have been used as genetic markers for the analysis of some aspects of social behaviour in two colour forms (actually sibling species) of meat ants,Iridomyrmex purpureus. A small amount of data suggests that haploid males are probably produced from eggs laid by the queen, and not by the workers. It appears that a substantial proportion of colonies of bothI. purpureus sens. strict, and the blue form of meat ants, may contain more than one queen. InI. purpureus sens. strict, colony organization is flexible, ranging from small, territorially distinct colonies in which the workers are recognizable genetically as single family units, to very large multi-nest colonies with considerabe exchange of workers between nests. This flexibility is seen as a response to the very variable types of habitat in which this form of meat ant occurs.

    Notes: It is usual to interpret Mill's understanding of liberty in terms deriving from his distinction in On Liberty between self-regarding and other-regarding conduct. Granted this distinction and Mill's genuine concern to define and defend it, it remains a relevant question why he attached so much importance to it. This raises a less familiar theme in Mill, namely the inter-connection of self-regarding and other-regarding conduct. An uncommitted reading of the main texts suggests an equivalent value is attached to this. Mill clearly and constantly asserts a close connection between each person's own attempt to improve himself, to cultivate his ‘affections and will’, and the social and political structure in which he acts. Self-regarding virtue and responsible social conduct are interdependent; the quality of each depends upon the quality of the other. A fuller recognition of this and its central place in Mill's revision of Bentham may be of help in examining some of the particular problems raised by recent scholarship on Mill.

    Notes: This article explores Hobbes's response to the writings of the Old Testament and to the Book of Job in particular, demonstrating his belief that the art of politics consists in the imitation of the commands of an omnipotent God. This idea of imitation is analysed in Hobbes's treatment of covenant, particularly the covenant with Abraham, which Hobbes identified as the paradigm of all covenants. The same notion of imitation is also illustrated in Hobbes's profound conviction that sovereignty constitutes the soul of the state and Hobbes's belief in an omnipotent God is shown to be consistent with his nominalism, with his undeniable materialism and with his scientific method. Just as the Book of Job revealed the irresistible power of an omnipotent God, Leviathan demonstrated the irresistible power of God's personator, the mortal sovereign. And God's own creation, Man, imitates the permanence of nature in his own artefact, ‘Leviathan’.

    Notes: What does the Church expect of her historians? What kind of person does one imagine when one speaks of a teacher of Church History? Is it too much of a caricature to say that one expects him to be a venerable scholar, steeped in learning, meticulous and perhaps a trifle pedantic, inclined to be sceptical about the motives of men in the ecclesiastical crises of the past, and above all characterised by an academic detachment which can clearly do more good in a library writing books than in a parish in the cure of souls?
