A still more important reason for our very fragmentary knowledge of animal sensations is the fact that, in regard to the function of the sensory apparatus, we can seldom depend upon experiments, and consequently must base our conclusions upon structure. But the anatomy of many sensory organs, like those of smell and taste, is by no means so characteristic that it alone is sufficient to determine the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Hertwig, Richard, 1850-1937; Kingsley, J.
