[edit] Map
if anyone has a map of the plantation put it online
The original date of the story has to be 1945 or earlier. I picked up a small paperback called "Suspense," which is a collection of short stories presented by Alfred Hitchcock. This story is in it and the book is copyrighted 1945. It has the map on the back cover.
Hmmm. I did a library search for the date and got inconclusive info. If it's in a collection dated '45, the story's got to be from at least '44, and probably earlier. Not sure how to verify for sure, though.

[edit] saurian
Saruian is an archaic term for lizard and is a clade of reptiles
What kind of ants are in this story named. I readed this book at school, and i think the story is an phantastic one. A novel like Jules Verne story. It is not reality when billions of soldier ants (marabunta) make robbing trek with measure 20 Square Miles and eat all what crossed the insects.

Hmmm . . . it's a great, rousing story, but it's a prime example of the notion that human ingenuity can overcome any force of nature and make everything a-OK. I think we've seen some consequences of that. 162.27.9.20 19:23, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
