426 Annals of the Carnegie Museum. 



slightest light on the subject. The labels and the notes on the reverse 

 side of the tablets have been given verbatim ; the only liberty I have 

 taken has been in the use of capital letters, and in correcting some 

 trifling orthographical errors. My own notes merely call attention to 

 doubtful points, indicate varieties, explain synonyms and fix, or endeavor 

 to fix, the position of the small islands mentioned. 



The arrangement is that of Dr. Hartman's MS. Catalogue, which is 

 of later date than any of his published works. Species not represented 

 in the collection are noted in their proper places ; all hybrids are 

 thrown together. The photographs and drawings are catalogued last. 



The numbers are those of the Carnegie Museum Conchological Col- 

 lection. Each species which Dr. Hartman regarded as valid is indi- 

 cated by leaded type ; the varieties and synonyms following it are in 

 italics. Labels and extracts from letters or printed papers are in quo- 

 tation marks. 



In his earlier labels Dr. Hartman often used the word "type" to 

 indicate specimens which agree with the original description or 

 example. In many cases he has changes the word to " typical," but 

 some of the labels have never been corrected. In the case of many 

 shells from the Pease and Garrett collections "type" really means 

 "authentic example." In most instances it would be impossible to 

 identify the original Pease types, and perhaps the Hartman examples 

 have as good a claim as any. I have, however, inserted the word 

 typical, H. H. S. in parenthesis after " type," wherever the latter has 

 been used for any shell except the one originally described and figured. 



4093. " Partula faba Martyn, Raiatea. " On the back of the 

 card is written : " Martyn' s type with the label of Pease." The name 

 and locality, in Pease's handwriting, are on a slip pasted to the card, 

 and beside it is written : " Pease scrib." By " Martyn's type " must 

 be understood typical examples. Five specimens. Three are pale olive 

 except a narrow band at the suture and a broad one covering the lower 

 part of the body whorl ; the others are brown, darker below, one rather 

 broad and the other unusually elongate for this species. One of the 

 banded specimens is the original of the figure published in Dr. Hart- 

 man's " Catalogue of the (lenus Partula," 1881, and in the " Nautilus," 

 Nov., 1892, p. 74.

 the sutural and ba.sal bands, but the jjaler portions are obscured by
