Phil. Trans. 1843. p. 240. Dr. A. Farre on the organ of Hearing in Crustacea. — Speculates, that as the organ is placed in the basal article of the antennæ, & as the ciliated processes within the vestibular sack repeat the form of the antennæ, he speculates most ingeniously whether the organ of hearing is not, "but a repetition, upon "a most refined scale, of the form of an organ of touch".— I may allude to this, when saying I have nothing to do with origin of senses — again I may allude to the sensibility to light in Hydra & such things, & mem. M. Edwards doctrine, that physiological action does not depends on organs.—
