I have been able to seein sense-organs (probably endowed with the 
Sense of smell) in the short, stout-jointed, anal stylets of the Cock- 
roach (Periplaneta Americana), beautifully mounted by Mr. E. Bicknell. _ I 
have recently, after reading Dr. Dohru’s note, observed the sense-organs 
and counted about ninety * minute orifices on each stylet, which are prob- 
ably smelling or auditory organs, such as are described by Hicks (see 
"n Guide," p.26). ‘They were much larger and much more numerous than 
smelling than geo to enable the males to smell out the females. I 
have observed the same organs in the lamella of the antenne of the car- 
rion beetles, which pede sen depend more on the sense of smell than 
that of touch or hearing to find eiim carcasses in which to place 
their eggs. — A. S. PACKARD, JR., June 87 
A REMARKABLE MynrAPOD.—Whhile IU over a chip with Myriapods 
and Poduras on the under side, brought in from the Museum grounds 
by Mr. C. A. Walker, I detected a lively little yellowish white creature, 
which immediately suggested Sir John Lubbock's Pauropus, to which we 
have alluded on p. 45, vol. iii, of the NATURALIST (where the six-legged 
It may be called Pauropus Lubbockii, in honor of the original discoverer 
of this remarkable type of Myriapods. No more interesting articulate 
has been discovered for many iuit E the occurrence of a species in 
America is worthy of note. It has but nine pairs of legs eh geni 
when hatched), and in some points in pe organization seems to be a con- 
necting link between the Myriapods and Podurids, which are ik in- 
Sects, probably de gom gape pibe Our species is yellowish white, 
and .03 of an inch in len Mr. Walker assures me, after seeing this 
specimen, that he saw a inte one last May under the bark of an apple- 
tree in Chelsea, Mass. — A. S. PACKARD, Jr., November 10.
