4136. << Partula planilabrum Pse. = suturalis Pse. MS., Raiatea." 

 Nine specimens, all dark castaneous with a narrow pale sutural band. 

 Mr. Garrett wrote to Dr. Hartman, Feb. 10, 1879: ^^ P. suturalis \?,t)\Q 

 name I gave to one of the Tahaa species, and finding it preoccupied 

 Mr. Pease changed it to plaiiilabruin. ' ' The species is also ascribed 

 to Tahaa in a list of the Society Island Partulas sent to Dr. Hartman 

 by Mr. Garrett, May 25, 1882. Dr. Hartman, in his MS. catalogue, 

 gives the locality: " Haamene Valley, H coast of Raiatea." Per- 

 haps Tahaa should be substituted for Raiatea. As Mr. Garrett resided 

 in the Society Islands, he could hardly have been mistaken about the 

 habitat of a species which he had personally collected. 



4137. '■'■Partula planilabrum Pse. (banded var. ) Raiatea, Coll. 

 Pse. ' ' Seven specimens, showing a broad peripheral band in addition to 

 the narrow sutural one. One is entirely pale, with obscure bands. 



4138. "Partula auriculata Brod. (typical) Raiatea, Coll. Pse." 

 Fourteen specimens, all dark, with a broad yellowish band on the body 

 whorl ; in some the band is nearly obsolete. Mr. Garrett observes in 

 a letter to Dr. Hartman, Feb. 10, 1879 : " Reeve's figs, iia and i6b 

 are both auriculata, the latter the type and the former a variety with a 

 broad yellowish band in the middle of the body whorl. It agrees 

 exactly with examples in my collection." 



4139. '■^Partula auriculata Brod., Raiatea Isld., Geale datum." 

 Twelve specimens, varying in color from very dark brown to whitish ; 

 Several are more or less obviously banded. The examples are some- 

 what smaller than those included under No. 4138. 



4140. ''■Partula robusta Pse. MS. (dark var.), Raiatea, Coll. 

 Smithsonian, Coll. Pse." Fourteen specimens, light brown or pale, 

 with ol)li(iue brown strigations and without any trace of bands ; four 

 are whitish, with obsolete strigations, and may be considered albinos. 

 The shells are less robust than those of the typical auriculata, Nos. 

 4138 and 4139, and the spire is proportionally shorter. P. robusta is 

 united with P. auriculata in all Dr. Hartman' s catalogues. 



4141. ^'■Partula robusta Pse. MS. (dark var.), Raiatea, Coll. 

 Smithsonian." Twelve specimens, similar in form to No. 4140, but 

 brown, obsoletely strigate, or uniform dark l)rown. 



4142. ''Partula solidula Pse. MS. (type) (typical, H. H. S. ) 

 Raiatea, Coll. Pse. ' ' On the back of the card is written : '' non Reeve. 

 sic ;ic ;ic -- approxiuiata Pse. -i^ * * = robusta " (the reference to robusta 

 apjjears to have been written at a later date). P. solidula Reeve (non
