An impressive, but often neglected, feature of animal behavior is that the whole organism behaves as a unit irrespective of the obvious fact that each response is a resultant of the actions of several different factors residing and acting both outside and within the body. The coordination of the stimuli striking the different sense organs and the integration of the par ts of the body in the ensuing response is, prima facie, largely the result of the structure and the function of the central nervous system, and for this reason it is necessary to look into the nervous system in oyder to understand the evident behavior patterns. It then becomes obvious that the first and one of the important links in the chain of events between the stimulus and the response is the fibrous connection between the sense organ and its sensory center in the brain, and secondly, the connections between these sensory centers and the other regions of the brain. The present article is one of a series of investigations of the nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster which have as their general purpose the establishment of a framework of morphological knowledge which can serve as a realistic background for inquiries into behavior and e,qeriiiiental studies of morphogenesis. This article describes the cerebral centers of the second great sense organs of the head, the antennae, and the more conspicuous fiber tracts which connect them to other
