Its external appearance is given {ho, B, Fig. 22), and consists, superficially, of minute holes, from 5775-111. to 1;^00in. across, each surrounded by a bright reddish ring. The micro- scopist had better choose the antenna of a young drone, and use a ^-in. or ^-in. objective, with a Lieber- kiihn, and then—unless as patient as microscopists proverbially are—he will be as likely to lose his temper as find the object. It is situated at the lower part and outer side of the last six or seven joints of the flagellum, but is found in greater abundance as we get towards the end, the terminal joint carrying a.
