Abstract
I HAVE read with much interest the brief abstract given in NATURE (vol. xvi. p. 567) of Mr. Wood Mason's announcement to the Entomological Society of the discovery of stridulating organs in association with scorpions; reference being made at the same time to his recognition of similar sound-producing structures among other Arthropoda, including certain Crustacea. In this latter case no mention is made of the particular types with which these sound-organs have been observed, and I therefore hazard the relation of an instance that has recently fallen under my own observation with the chance of its proving a newly-recorded example.
