J. Ranke has examined the structure of the eyes in the medicinal leech 
(Z. wiss. Zool. XXV. pp. 152-162, pl.x. figs. 1-12) ; abstr. in Nature, xiii. 
p. 75. Leydig’s observations are confirmed. The “ eyes ” are probably 
not only organa of vision, but also of touch and taste, almost neutral 
organs of sense, acting occasionally in various manners ; their structure 
is completely analogous to that of the cup-shaped sense organs occurring 
on the upper lip and elsewhere.
