^ Even men are not safe, when 

 stooping to drink at a pool, from the 

 assault of the cattle leeches. They 

 cannot penetrate the human skin, 

 but the delicate membrane of the 

 mucous passages is easily ruptured 



by their serrated jaws. Instances 

 have come to my knowledge of Eu- 

 ropeans into whose nostrils they have 

 gained admission and caused serious 

 disturbance.
