October 2, 1844. 

 Dr. C. T. Jackson, Vice President, in the Chair. 



Dr. C. T. Jackson had recently made a tour to Lake Su- 

 perior for scientific purposes, and laid before the Society 

 some of the specimens he had obtained. These were the 

 skins of fishes, whose local names were Trout, Pike, White 

 Fish, Boney Pike. Siskewit and Mullet ; several shells, 

 among which were two species of Anodon, Unio purpureus, 

 Say : Limnea jugularis, Say : and a few odd valves of Unio. 



Dr. Gould thought it worthy of note, that one or more 

 species of Unio, which are chiefly confined to the region east 

 of the great mountain range, should be found so far to west- 

 ward. He had never heard of their having been before 

 found west of the limits of New York. 



Dr. J. also presented the skins of a Raven and a Canada 

 Jay, in behalf of Mr. C. C. Douglass ; and a Bat from that 

 region, in behalf of Capt. B. A. Stannard, of the brig Astor, 

 of Cleveland. 



Dr. Wyman presented, in behalf of Mr. T. J. Crawford, 

 of the White Mountains, a Salamander, resembling JS. sym- 

 metrica, but distinguished by spots on the back. 



Dr. Storer presented, in behalf of Capt. E. H. Faucon, 

 specimens of Barnacles, from the bottom of ship Clarkson, 

 of Nantucket, absent 45 months, on a whaling voyage, in 

 the Indian Ocean. 



Thanks were voted for these several donations. 



Henry M. Parker, Esq., was unanimously elected a mem- 

 ber.
