Mr, Gould exhibited to the Meeting fine specimens, male and fe- 
male, of the Macropus laniger of Quoy and Gaimard, and a species of 
Hypsiprymnus nearly allied to the H. minor, but which differs con- 
siderably in the form of the skull, and especially in having the muzzle 
broader, the sides being swollen; it also differs from H. minor in 
having the tail and tarsi proportionally shorter. This species being 
new, Mr. Gould characterized it as follows, under the name 
Hyrsiprymnus Gitsertu1. Hyps. colore corporis superné e cine- 
reo, fusco, nigroque commixtis, lined nigrescente a naso ductd cum 
colore frontis se intermiscente ; corpore subtis e cinereo albo.

This species was procured by Mr. Gould’s assistant, Mr. Gilbert, 
at King George’s Sound. 
The following two papers, being a continuation of the descriptions 
of Mr. Cuming’s shells, were next read. 
The first of these papers is by W. J. Broderip, Esq. 
Burinus Macutirerus. Bul. testd plerumque sinistrorsd, elongato- 
pyramidali, anfractibus sex subventricosis, ultimo longe maximo, 
lineis incrementi oblique longitudinaliter striatd ; aperturd ovatd ; 
labro sub-patulo reflezo albo. 
Var. A. Griseo-brunnea strigis griseo-subpurpureis et maculis albis 
griseo-subpurpureisque irregulariter notata ; anfractu basali su- 
perne suturam juxta albo vittata. 
Bulinus maculiferus is figured in Sowerby’s Conchological Illus- 
trations, but has not hitherto been described. 
Var. B. Griseo-albens vel subflavescens strigis frequentibus, irregu- 
laribus, subangulatis, sordide subpurpureis ornata. 
This seems to be the shell figured by Petiver, Tab. Ixxvi. fig.5. 
Described by him as “a rare Luzone-shell, with its mouth to the 
right. Cat.224. Its waves brown, the rest yellow and white.” 
Var. C. Flavescens, ochraceo-brunneo strigata. 
Var. D. Albido-brunnescens ; anfractibus prioribus strigis obscuris 
undulatis, ultimo strigis distantibus oblique longitudinalibus roseis 
albo limbatis, ornatis. 
Var. E. Tota alba. 
Var. F. Deztrorsa alba vel subflavescens strigis purpureo-brunneis 
presertim in anfractum ultimum creberrimis et subirregularibus 
ornata. 
Length about 24 inches. Breadth about 12 inch.
