Dr. Gould also described a species of Bulimus, from the 

 Organ Mountains, Brazil, lately presented to the Society by 

 Mrs. A. H. Everett. 



Bulimus turnix. Testa oblongo-ovata, a tergo compressa, 

 nitida, cervina, flammulis albidis quodammodo seriatis marmo- 

 rata, longitudinalitcr striata, lineis granulosis volventibus decus- 

 sata : anfr. 5 convexis, ultimo magno : apertura ovali, peristomate 

 valde revoluto, rosaceo : columella obliqua, pliciformi : umbilico 

 obliquo, rimato. 



Long. 2} ; lat. ii X t'o ; apert. l-fu poU- 



Its surface is covered with shining, longitudinally compressed 

 granules, like B. goniosloma, and evidently belongs to the same 

 group ; but, in other respects, it is more like B. pudicus and B. 

 Bolivarii. Few exceed it in beauty. 



Information having been received that the authorized 

 edition of the scientific portion of the history of the late 

 U. S. Exploring Expedition would consist of only one hun- 

 dred copies, a number entirely inadequate to supply the 

 wants of the scientific public ; it was 



Voted, That the interests of science require that an effort 

 should be made to induce the Government to enlarge the 

 edition very considerably, so that the work may be procured 

 by institutions and individuals, other than those to whom 

 copies may be presented by law ; and Dr. A. A. Gould and 

 Dr. Samuel Cabot, Jr., were appointed a committee to 

 address the proper authorities in this behalf. 



J. H. Carlton, Lt. U. S. Army, was elected a correspond- 

 ing member, and Mr. Henry Loring, Jr., of Boston, a mem- 

 ber of the Society.
