These papers consist partly of a comparison of the nerves of Insects

These peculiar organs occur in all Insects. They may be divided into 
truncal and membral. The former exhibit a strongly segmental charac- 
ter, and are tolerably uniform in character from segment to segment, in

of several ; in the latter case they are generally not uniform. The 
membral organs may be either pteral or pedal. The pteral organs are
