XXVI. Observations on the Hirudo complanata, and Hirudo Stagnalis, now formed into a distinct genus under the name, Glossopora

Abstract

I beg leave to lay before the Society, a few remarks on the Hirudo complanata and Hirudo stagnalis ; animals that have been hitherto, but injudiciously, retained int he genus Hirudo. From the circumstance, in which they differ more particularly from the leech, they are now formed into a distinct genus, under the term of Glossopora .
