Abstract
My interest having been aroused in Calliobdella lophii, I requested all my friends engaged upon the sea to keep a look-out for any leeches that might come to hand and especially for Calliobdella. Accordingly on 6. VIII. 1914 I received a specimen of a leech, taken near St Margaret's Hope towards the north-east of S. Ronaldsay in the Isles of Orkney, which as far as I can discover has never been described before, and which presents peculiar and interesting features not wholly dissimilar from those of Calliobdella. I propose to name the leech Ganymedes (or, if this name should be pre-occupied, Ganymedebdella) cratere.
