interiores, of which the upper one is certainly identical to the marginal 
row of teeth. In his description of Obisium sylvaticum Kock he 
writes (33, p. 27) '"Scherenfinger gebogen, innen gezåhnt, der innere 
zweireihig, der åussere einreihig” (cf. figs 16—17). He has observed 
the flagellum as well as the galea in several forms. 
Stecker describes (1875, 5, pp. 514 and 520) the antennae 
of several Indian false-scorpions; he has observed and drawn the 
serrulåa exterior in several forms, and even the serrula interior, as 
his figure of Megathis Kochi Steck. (tab. II, fig. 9) makes evident; 
his representation of these organs as well as that of the galea in 
some forms (tab. II, fig. 3) is very rough. The organ of the 
antennae, which according to Stecker is by far the most interesting, 
is the flagellum or as he names it '"Geruchsorgane” and he is evi- 
dently right, if we compare the drawings of his flagella, which are 
beautifully branched and adorned with ""Riechståbchen”, with each 
other as well as with the more modest serrulae etc. But this 
organ has, as shown by Hansen (1894, 19, p. 215) no proper place 
in the real world, but only in its inventor's fancy. Stecker's re- 
presentation of the ”"Riechorgane” gives a quite interesting parallel 
with his ””scientific” methods, as far as the ”"monstrum fabulosum” 
Gibocellum sudeticum Stecker is concerned (cf. Hansen and Såérensen 
1904, 25, p. 113 and 30). It is curious to notice, that Stecker 
has not been able to see bis own organ in at least one of the 
species, described by him; for the flagellum of Obisium trifidum 
Steck. is compensated for by only four simple hairs (taf. IV, fig. 8). 
The last author, who has given a drawing of a flagellum, bearing 
some similarity to Stecker's is Daday (cf. p. 7). 
Simon gives a rather good description of the antennae (1879, 
6, pp. 3—4); he has observed the galea in the Cheliferinae Sim. 
and Garypinae Sim. together with the corresponding tubercle in 
the Obisiinae Dad. as well as the serrula exterior; he does not 
mention the lamina interior, but gives a fairly good drawing of it 
in Garypus littoralis L. Koch (Pl. XVII, fig. 7). With regard to 
his representation of the flagellum I refer to Hansen (19, p. 216).
