The Antenn.e of the Silk-Moth. 



The antfiin.-e, or " fceleis," arc the seat of the sense of smell in most Insects, and probably of other senses as well. There are jiits ancl peg- 

 like projections filled with fluid, each in connection with a nerve. There is great variation in the size and form of these organs in different 

 species, and they are often more highly developed in the m<\\v than in the female. Those shown are from the male moth of the common 

 silkworm and arc enlarged sixteen times.
