Description
Anatomical diagram showing the position of the coxal glands (indicated by the letter ‘B’) in the body of the scorpion, taken from dissections of several species of the arthropod.
Illustration from the manuscript version of the paper ‘On the coxal glands of Scorpio hitherto undescribed and corresponding to the brick-red glands of Limulus’, by E. Ray Lankester, Proceedings of the Royal Society, vol.34 (1882), pp.95-101. The published paper reproduced the image as figure 1.
Inscribed below ‘Fig.1’. The drawing was submitted on the same sheet as illustrations for the paper ‘Note of the differences in the position of the ganglia of the central nerve-cord in three species of scorpion’, also by Ray Lankester.
Sir Edwin Ray Lankester (1847-1929) was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1875.
