'Where is the sense Of hearing in a grasshopper
located 2' asks this correspondent. In ''The

following: "0rgans Of hearing are stated by
Siebold TO occur In the Acridi (species of
OrthOptera) consisting of two conches sur
rounded by heavy ring, at the base of
which is q membrane resembling a tym-
panum On the internal surface of This
membrane are two horny processes 10

connects with the auditory nerve. The GryI-
lidR (gra sshOppers) have a similar organ siiu-
ated in the fore leg" Professor Behr. The well
known entOmoOgist OF the Academy of Sciences

orally supposed that the organ Of hearing of the
gTasshopper ana other insects was in Ihe
antenna, sometimes called feelers, but tbat re-
cent researches had proved this to be incorrect
