Mr. Walker, of Brookfield, near Ckester, says that “It is a 
tRost savage little beast. If you are a moment still in the water 
^hile bathing, dozens will fasten upon you and nip most unpleas- 
Rntly. I have had to jump into the water again after coming 
Out from bathing and splash violently to get rid of the hosts that 
had stuck to me while clinging to the side of the boat preparatory 
to getting in. They continue to bite after you are out of the 
Water. I once put a wretched LLyperia, which I had taken from 
R Rhyzostoma, into a small bottle with two Eurydioes, the blood- 
thirsty little brutes attacked him like tigers, and soon sucked his 
®hell clean.”
