 organs in the antennules. 



We may in this connection mention the frontal 

 sensory organs which appear in many (or all ?) Nauplii 

 (see Fig. 39, f) oh each side of the unpaired eye. 

 They disappear throughout nearly the whole class 

 in the course of development. They may perhaps

 found, for example, on the prostomium of the Eunicida^. 

 In a section of Apus cancriformis we thought we found 

 traces of them on the frontal surface in a very 

 short stiff horn-like process of the cuticle, at the base 

 of which was a group of large ganglion cells.
