An isolated population of Iridomyrmex purpureus (F. Sm.) was studied at Belair, in the Mt. Lofty Ranges in South Australia in January and May 1971 by mapping the distribution of nests and colony territories in an area bounded on one side by a railway cutting and centred on relatively sparse vegetation on a ridge projecting into denser vegetation.
