The rings were either black, plumbeous (color 78) or glaucous (color 79) respectively. The stomach contents of the ringed specimens were analyzed by J. Metcalfe-Smith in May, and July, 1983, and included mostly insect larvae: chironomids, simulids, diptereans, ephemeropterans, plus 1 ostracod.

noted that of the 58 stations surveyed in Newfoundland, leeches were found in only 14 sites (24%). In the 2004 survey which was only concerned with leech distribution, 19 sites in Newfoundland and 10 sites in Labrador were surveyed. Leeches were found at 13 sites (68%) in Newfoundland Island and in 7 sites (70%) in Labrador. The success of the 2004 survey is attributed to selecting sites with abundant rocks and logs and vegetative growth which looked “good” for leech collecting. Five species were common to both surveys, with
