Extracts from the Minute-Book of the Linnean Society. 559 
Mr. Thompson at the same time laid before the Society a list con- 
taining upwards of thirty species of land and freshwater Shells, new 
to Ireland. It was stated that they had not appeared in any of the 
three published Catalogues of the Shells of that country, nor, so far 
as the author was aware, were they incidentally noticed elsewhere. 
A new species of Limneus, discovered in the South of Ireland by 
William H. Harvey, Esq., was also described and characterized 
under the name of L. involutus. 
Read a Letter addressed to the Under Secretary, by W. Thomp- 
son, Esq. of Belfast, giving an account of two specimens of Sterna 
stolida, which had been shot off the coast of Wexford. 
Read a Notice by William Thompson, Esq., of the minute fish 
Lepadogaster bimaculatus, Flem., having occurred to him in two 
localities, when dredging on the north-east coast of Ireland. The 
specimens, of which three were taken, were described in detail, and 
the characters pointed out in which they did not correspond with 
the published descriptions of the species; the most striking differ- 
ence being the want of the two lateral spots, whence the species had 
derived its specific appellation. 
Read some account of the habits of the Anolius bullaris of Cu- 
vier. By Mr. Robert H. Schomburgk. Communicated by the 
Secretary. : 
After a full description of the animal, which appears to be one of 
the most common of the West Indian lizards, and is already well 
known to naturalists, Mr. Schomburgk observes that the colours 
are so variable as to be with difficulty determined ; the hue changing 
with every degree of inflation of the body, from greenish grey with 
pale longitudinal stripes, to a darkish brown or cinereous with irre- 
gular spots, and at times to a uniform bright green. "These changes 
are most conspicuous and rapid when two males meet in combat, 
at which time also the dorsal and caudal crest rises to an unusual
