brown flames or streaks on a white ground, in general harmony 

 with growth-lines, widening downwards, scarcely reaching to the 

 suture above. On the last whorl the streaks are often some- 

 what dislocated. Whorls nearly 7, but slightly convex, the 

 suture rather indistinctly margined below. Aperture small, 

 lilac within; lip narrow, not expanded or noticeably thickened, 

 brown-bordered within, columellar fold very low, brown.

Figured and described from the types. While closely related 

 to Partulina proximo, by the sculpture and coloration, this species 

 is constantly much narrower, in a considerable series seen. 

 The columellar fold is also less developed. P. proximo, does 

 not occur in Kawela valley, the type-locality of theodorei. 



Mr. Sykes placed this species in Perdicella, a position ap- 

 proved by Professor Hyatt. Herr Borcherding groups it with 

 proxima Pse., in Partulina. It is one of several species connect- 

 ing Perdicella with Partulina. 



Var. midtistrigata n.v. (pi. 9, figs. 12, 13, 16) differs by its 

 broader shape and much more numerous, narrow stripes. The 

 types are without exact locality but Borcherding figures a sim- 

 ilar shell from Makakupaia. Length 20.5, diam. 11, aperture 

 9.8 mm.

Shell sinistral, minutely perforate, solid, ovate-pyramidal, 

 the spire straight-sided, ra.ther acute at apex. First 2 to 4 

 whorls tawny brown, the last two or three whorls slightly con- 

 vex, whitish, mottled and banded with flesh color, and having 

 purple brown bands speckled or mottled with white above and 

 below the suture, at the periphery and around the axial perfor- 

 ation. The surface is glossy, with low, rude growth-lines and
