Dr. Gould presented specimens of Land Shells from the 

 Phillippine Islands, selected from some sent to him by Mr. 

 Cuming. They were authentic specimens, being sent by 

 the original collector, and labelled by him. The labels were 

 marked A, to show their authority, and Dr. G. had added 

 some of his own, marked O, to show them to be originals. 



Dr. Cabot said he had seen a specimen of the European 

 Widgeon, Anas penelope, which had been shot in New 

 Jersey ; the first instance he had known of that bird being 

 found in this country.
