    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous proposons une nouvelle méthode pour repérer les systèmes de nidification des Termites; nous l'éprouvons par des essais en milieu naturel sur des nids deMastotermes darwiniensis. Un appât attractif, contenant de l'oxyde de scandium-46 émetteur de rayons gamma, est introduit dans un endroit colonisé par ces Termites. L'appât est rapidement absorbé et emporté jusqu'aux nids où le scandium est réparti parmi les membres de la colonie par les échanges trophallactiques. En fin de compte, le scandium est excrété et les excrétions sont incorporées aux parois des galeries et aux cartons de toutes les structures annexes, qui peuvent alors être repérées au moyen d'un détecteur de rayons gamma. Nous décrivons aussi l'utilisation d'autres radio-isotopes sous forme de colloïdes dans des appâts similaires.
    Notes: Summary A new method for the tracing of termite nesting systems is proposed and proved in field trials withMastotermes darwiniensis nesting systems. An attractive bait containing γ-ray emitting scandium-46 oxide is inserted into an infested site. The bait is eaten rapidly and taken to the nests where trophallactic transfer spreads the scandium through the colony members. The scandium is finally excreted and the excreta fixed in the gallery walls and carton of all subcentres which can then be found using a γ-ray detector. The use of other radionuclides as colloids in similar bait is described. This new method appears to introduce a new concept into the tracing of social insects.

    Notes: [Auszug] All previously reported preparations of iron-59 from irradiated cobalt have been diluted with more or less inactive iron, derived either from deliberately added carrier or from impurity in the original cobalt1'2. We have found that the isotope can be extracted carrier-free into xylene as the ...
