Abstract
OBSERVATIONS on the nest-building of Eumenes esuriens Fabr., a vespoid mud-building wasp, were made in Bhubaneswar by H. Spurway and myself during September, October and November, 1962. We have complete records of the building of three nests and lesscomplete records for three others. Four of these nests have yielded offspring.
