510 Mr. Vigors on some new subjects of Zoology, 



Whilst pursuing this subject, I have found that Messrs. Kirby 

 and Spence, in one of the concluding volumes, just published, of 

 their Introduction to Entomology, have expressed an idea on the 

 sense of hearing, or its analogue, in Insects, identical with that 

 which I have suggested on the analogue of hearing in the Gaster' 

 opoda; and that they have furnished some evidence on its behalf, 

 which tends also to give validity to my supposition. 



Time will not allow of my entering further into these subjects, 

 at present; but I shall prepare an article on both of them, for the 

 next number of the Journal.
