A study in the comparative anatomy and morphology of insects; with plates and illustrations executed directly from the drawings of the author; CUbiodiversity4765349-9875 Year: 1890 ( ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE ANTENNM. 587 The minute structure of the antenna can only be satisfactorily studied in thin sections; those from antennae fixed with osmium peroxide or Flemming's mixture are far the best. The osmium peroxide stains the whole organ and the fibres of the olfactory nerve intensely. The cuticular layer of the integument of the third joint is not more than 12 ix in thickness, except near the base on its outer aspect, where it is thicker than elsewhere.
