Recent Discoveries in Plant and Aal- mal Life on Porto Rico Island and Mona Isle, Porto Rico is proving to be an in- teresting field for the scientists in the employ of the government. They have already discovered much that is new in plant and animal life on this island. The United States fish com- mission has been particularly for- ward in this work, and as a result has just issued a series of five bul- letins on the subject of some Porto Rican fishes until recently unknown to science. One of these bulletins describes two new fresh water leeches from Porto Rico, one of them, “Blanch- ard’s leech,” son on the being of a bright crim- color on the under, surface, This A NATIVE OF PORTO RICO.

The second, which has thus far re- ceived no English name, is very large, nearly four length. The colors of this leecn are arranged in inches in stripes of yellow, red, ash, black, olive and brown.
