he gives it specific rank in deference to the opinion of Mr. (iarrett, and 

 it is so allowed in his later writings. Mr. (iarrett wrote, September 8, 

 1880: " /'. ciirina is most certain!)- a good sjjecies and differs more 

 from faha than tluiliii and coinpacta ilo from aiiricttlatii . Mr. Pease 

 did not have many s[)ecimens. The last time I visited the locality I 

 collected over 800 specimens, most of which I sent to Mus. Godeff. 

 It is remarkably uniform in all its specific characters. I never had the 

 slightest doubt of its specific \alue." 



4118. "Partula vittata Pse. (typical), Raiatea, Coll. Pse." 

 Eleven sj)ecimens. Two of these are darker and without the parietal 

 tooth, a])proaching some of the examples referred to P. fiisca var. 

 protca, No. 41 11 . 



41 19. Partula I'ittata Pse., Raiatea, Coll. Pse." Three specimens. 

 It is doubtful if these are really P. vittata. They are considerably 

 larger and more elongate than other examples referred to P. vittata or 

 its synonyms, and resembling those included under Xo. 4129 {^P. navi- 

 gator ia^,.(\\^i:.x'\ng principally in having an obscure pale band; one is 

 without the parietal tooth. Mr. (iarrett wrote to Dr. Hartman (Feb- 

 ruary 12, 1883) : " jP. navigatoria is fre(|uently banded." 



4120. " Partula terrcstris Pease MS., Raiatea, Coll. Pse." Twelve 

 specimens ; five dark castaneous, four castaneous with a broad pale 

 band and three pale. In Dr. Hartman' s earlier works this is made a 

 synonym of /^ approximata Pse.; in his later ones both are included as 

 varieties oi P. vittata Pse. See notes under No. 4128. 



41 2 1. '■'■Partula approximata Pse. MS., Raiatea, Colls. Pse. and 

 Garr. " Fourteen specimens, most of them brown in color, including 

 one depauperated form, one albino, and one with distinct oblique 

 streaks ; the latter is indistinguishal)le from small examples included 

 under No. 4129 (=/*. navigatoria). In Dr. Hartman's earlier cata- 

 logues P. approximata is treated as a distinct species, with P. terrestris 

 as a synonym ; in his later works both are included as varieties under 

 P. vittata. 



4122. '■'■Partula approximata Pse., Raiatea." Four specimens, 

 showing extremes of variation in size and form. 



4123. '■^Partula approximata Pse. MS. (dark var.), Raiatea, Coll. 

 Pse." Twelve specimens, all dark castaneous or brown. In several 

 the parietal tooth is wanting or rudimentary. 



Note. — This is perhaps the same as /*. casta nca Pse. MS., which 

 Dr. Hartman placed among the varieties of P. vittata, Proc. Acad.
