of the organs of smell and hearing fluctuated from one side to 
the other, and when in 1844 Küster (9), by reason of his experi- 
Ments on numerous insects, again claimed that “the antenne are 
the smelling organs of insects,” he argued on a scientific basis; 
yet v. Siebold and Stannius (1848), in their valuable Lehrbuch
