is solid, of a uniform dark chestnut-brown or fuscous color, with 

 a white expanded lip, and the pillar tooth is absent. I have seen 

 several suites labeled fusca, from the hands of Mr. Pease, in 

 which the banded ovalis and protea predominated. His descrip- 

 tion calls for " an edentate shell, of a wholly dark chestnut color, 

 or with an occasional light band encircling the last whorl, or 

 yellowish striped longitudinally and irregularly with chestnut, 

 and the lip stained with brownish purple." Mr. Garrett's fig. = 

 protea, as it possesses the denticle and peripheral band. There 

 is considerable variation in my suites of this shell, which may 

 eventually result in its being divided into two species.

Obs. — I have followed Mr. Garrett in separating lugubris from 

 fusca. P. lugubris is certainly not Pacifica Pfr. (E. A. Smith).

Obs. — A comparison of examples with Pfeiffer's tj'pes in the 

 British Museum, establishes the fact that these species are syn- 

 onymous. As variabilis is found only on the island of Raiatea, 

 and not at the Navigator Islands, the former 'is a misnomer, and 

 the name of Mr. Pease should be retained for the species.

 in my Bibliographic Catalogue of the Genus Partula, and which 

 was subsequently noted by Mr. Ancey.
