XIV. SNAILS OF OTHER GENERA DESCRIBED AS PARTULAE. 



Partula acuticosta, consimilis and lamellicosta, Journ. A. 

 N. S. Phila. ix, 113, are errors for Patula a., c. and I. 



Partula auricula Fer., 1821 = Auriculella. 



Partula australis Bowdich 1822 = Strophocheilus. 



Partula batavitf Grateloup, 1840, = Amphidromus adamsi 

 var. rubiginosus Fulton (Proc. Malac. Soc. London viii, 44). 



Partula delatouri Hartm. = Diplomorpha, Vol. xiii, 118. 



Partula dumartroyi Souleyet = Auriculella. 



Partula flavescens King, 1831 = Bulimulus chilensis Less. 

 Man. Conch. XI, p. 8. 



Partula glaber Hartman, Proc. A. N. S. Phila. 1885, p. 205, 

 is Drymaus strigatus Sowb., color-form purus. See MANUAL 

 XI, p. 228. The type specimen of glaber, no. 4291 Carnegie 

 Museum, agrees exactly \vith the Peruvian shell, but the 

 internal lilac lip-border, though still noticeable, has faded. 



Partula layardi Braz., llartm. is a Diplomorpha, Vol. xiii, 

 p. 116. 



Bulimus macleayi Brazier from Yule Island, other islands 

 in Torres Strait, and Queensland, was described as a Papuina 

 in this Manual, Vol. XIII, p. 121. It has been referred by 

 Hedley to Partula (Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales ix, 1894, p. 

 387, pi. 26, f. 22, 23) ; the radula figured by him has 

 marginal teeth resembling those of Partula, yet differing by 

 the larger size of the second cusp, whereas in Partula the inner 

 cusp is the larger. The central tooth has no side-cusps. 

 There are 160 rows of 40,6,1,6,40 teeth. If the pallial organs 

 etc., confirm the relationship claimed by Hedley (but which I 

 doubt) this species will form a new genus of Partulidce, char- 

 acterized by the unexpanded, thin and simple lip of the shell, 

 and the absence of the typical apical sculpture of Partula. 



Partula maximiliana Pot. et Mich, is Auris bilabiata B. et 

 S., Man. Conch. X, 100.
