_b_. The organs of smell
The seat of the organs of smell is mainly in the antennæ, and they may
be regarded as the principal olfactory organs. For our present knowledge
of the anatomy and physiology of the olfactory organs of insects we are
mainly indebted to the recent investigations of Hauser and of Kraepelin.
The following historical and critical remarks are translated from
Kraepelin’s able treatise:
=Historical sketch of our knowledge of the organs of smell.=—In the
first half of the last century began the inquiries as to the seat of
the sense of smell in the arthropods. Thus Réaumur, in his Mémoires
(i, p. 283; ii, 224), expressed the view that in the antennæ was
situated a special organ which might be an organ of smell.
