Summary:

Discusses his 'Hirudo' paper for "Linnean Transactions": has a third species of 'Hirudo' which is not like 'Hirudo stagnalis', asks Smith to correct his paper if necessary. Would like to see figures quoted by Linnaeus in the "Systema" as "Bergm. Act. Stock. 1756". Has named his three species 'Hirudo alba', 'Hirudo nigra', and 'Hirudo crenata'.
