A. Lyriform Organs. 
Bertkau seems to be the first who has found such 
organs in Chelonethi; he writes in the quoted »Jahres- 
bericht«: Von Sinnesorganen sind spaltförmige Haut- 
poren und die Augen zu nennen.« Gaubert has over- 
looked Bertkau’s treatise, he has, however, himself found 
organs on the legs and palpi, certainly in a verv small 
number, viz., a group of 3 fissures on the upper side 
of the 4th joint of the palpi and a similar group with 3 
or 4 fissures on the 3d joint (surely a misprint for the 2d 
joint) of the legs. Yet he states also, p. 84, that he 
has seen them on »le thorax«, but by discussing them 
further he no more mentions thorax, what there might 
have been great reason in doing, as he has not found 
them else on the cephalothorax in any order, except on 
the sternum in Aranee, but sternum is wanting in 
most of the Chelonethi and is exceedingly small in the 
others. I shall now fully communicate what I have 
found in representatives for 2 of the genera which are 
most divergent from each other, Chelifer and Obisium.
