It may also be mentioned here that I possess a specimen of 

 a small leech from Formosa, which agrees well with the speci- 

 mens here described, in size, shape, annulation, and above all in 

 the number and arrangement of the eyes. I regard it, therefore, 

 as belonging to the same species. It is interesting to note that a 

 new species of leech with characters different from those of any 

 known form, has been discovered almost simultaneously from two 

 localities so widely separated from each other as Burma and 

 Formosa.
