Excerpt from The Olfactory Sense of Insects
Paasch (1873) claims that no nerves coming from the brain lead to the trachea and that the Olfactory organ need not necessarily be connected with the breathing apparatus. He reasons that its location should correspond with that found in higher animals. He found a peculiar plate situated between the eyes and beneath the antenna and extending to the base of the proboscis. This plate possesses a groove whose edges are beset with stiff bristles, and many tracheal branches; it also has nerve connections. This he regards as the Olfactory organ. This plate does not exist in the honey bee.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the collective knowledge of scientists from Aristotle to the present day regarding the presence and location of the olfactory sense in insects. Ancient Greek ideas that insects perceive odors through the mouth are discussed alongside medieval and early modern theories of olfactory receptors within the spiracles, or breathing apparatus. The author explores the shift in scientific consensus toward the antennae as the seat of smell after the first experiments were conducted in the 1800s. The book also analyzes the diversity of structures suggested to fulfill olfactory functions and describes experiments that sought to identify these structures, including the work of the author themselves on honeybees. Ultimately, the book seeks to shed light on the fascinating yet still mysterious nature of olfaction in insects and provides a valuable resource for scientists and anyone interested in the sensory world of insects. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
