Bodies some-what similar to the Pacinian corpuscles (to be afterwards described)were discovered by Savi in 1844 in the torpedo; they are arrangedin linear series on the anterior part of the mouth and nostrils, andover the fore part of the electrical organs. Each is composed oftwo capsules, one counected with the other, and containing agranular substance in which the nerve end is embedded. Peculiarmucous glands are also found outside the electrical organs of thetorpedo which are believed to minister to touch.
