I AM able to confirm the accounts given by Mr. Simson in your last number as to the probability of the hearing of insects. When travelling on the River Magdalena, New Granada, in 1861, the mode of which is by a long boat, arched over with bamboo, on which the sailors (bogas) passing from one extremity to the other, propel it with long poles, hugging ...
