Abstract
In comparing the auditory organs of man with those of different animals, one finds that, in all animals, the essential organs necessary for hearing consist of a gelatinous pulp, wrapped in a very fine and elastic membrane, in which the ends of the auditory nerve are resolved. Some other sections, designed to enforce or to modify the sound, are not found in all animals, and their structure varies greatly.
