Could no waies obferve any Membrane hanging to the fore- 
going joynto out of which it might nip, but it broke off 
entire. And altho there were two Single y^yw^/. which 1 
found in the Intettin, upon the firft openingit, yet ther^

but the Mucus of the Inteftines themfelves^ or a flimy Spo- 
hum caft off from thefe Worms. Thus Leeches I have ob-
