Excerpt from The Control of the Argentine Ant The East Oakland area includes also nearly all of Fruitvale and occupies all the territory between the bay and the hills as far west as Lake Merritt, and there are small outlying colonies scattered through Melrose on the one hand and the Piedmont section on the other, with one small colony in the center of Berkeley. Alameda is nearly all occupied and there are small, detached colonies on Bay Farm Island. The San Francisco colonies are all small and scattered, the largest being at the Presidio entrance. Small colonies are also found at Byron Hot Springs and at Stockton. The largest colony in the State is in San Jose and College Park, extending continuously in one direction for three and one-half miles, with many detached colonies Within a radius of seven miles, including colonies at Santa Clara and those previously reported at Cupertino and near Campbell. Recently discovered colonies in and about Los Angeles places that district well toward the front as to the amount of infested territory, and five small colonies in the neighborhood of Riverside complete the enumeration of the points of distribution at present known and mapped.
