Extract

I owe to Prof. G. H. F. Nuttall and Mr A. E. Shipley the opportunity of examining three specimens of a West African leech sent by Dr C. Wellman from Benguella, Angola. They were described as land leeches ‘taken four or five miles from any water’ and were preserved in alcohol. A brown, vermiform object protruded from the mouth of the largest specimen.
