pouches on each side to hold the blood. The common
large bloodsucking leech of America (Macrobdella
decora) is dark olive above, and red below, with black
spots. Many kinds of leeches are parasitic on fishes;
others feed upon worms and mollusks, and have no jaws
for drawing blood. See Bdelloidea. Hirudinea, and
Clepsine.
