Obs. — I do not assent to lignaria and affinis as synonyms of 

 Otaheitana. See my Bibliographic Catalogue of Partula, pages 

 119 and 183. I possess numerous examples of all the varieties 

 of this species ; several are albinos, some are white with a brown 

 band, var. fasciata Fe'r., others are dark brown with darker 

 oblique striae and a dark band at the periphery, var. lignaria. 

 The variety affinis is always of a dark bay-brown, usually with 

 darker oblique striae and a smooth surface. All possess a 

 button-like pillar tooth, and the base of the aperture has a looped 

 appearance, which is a constant character of this shell. Some of 

 the smaller examples of Otaheitana resemble it (probably the 

 result of hybridization), but they may always be distinguished 

 by the red color of the shell and lip. In most collections this 

 shell is labeled rufa.
