Smiih : CATAi.oorF. or Genus Partula. 443 



4191. '' Paitii/a anuihilis Rvc, Tahiti, Coll. Pse." Eight sjjeci- 

 mens, all sinistral and rather larger than the typical otaheitana . Six 

 are pale yellowish ; the others (for comparison ?) are Ijanded ( -= sinis- 

 trorsa Pse. ). P. iiiiiahilis is gi\en among the varieties of I\ otaheitana 

 in all Dr. Hartman's catalogues. 



4192. '' /\irti//a rrfi'cana Pfr., Tahiti." Three s]>ecimens. A 

 large, pale, dextral form of y. ota/icita/ia, with which it is united in all 

 Dr. Hartman's catalogues. On the back of the card is written : " These 

 shells correspond to the type in the B. M." In the Hartman collec- 

 tion there is a drawing of the British Museum type by E. A. Smith 

 (No. 4344). This drawing was seen by (iarrett, who wrote, Feb. 12, 

 1SS3 : "Smith's figure oi )-ccvcana, which I return, is undoubtedly 

 one of the forms of otaJicitana from the Fantana \'alley, the head- 

 cjuarters of the type as well as forms which cannot be separated from 

 some forms of lis^naria, affiiiis, aniabilis, siiiistrorsa, ri/l>esce>is, etc." 



Dr. Cox, in a memorandum written about 1881, expresses his doubts 

 of the habitat, " Solomon Islands," attributed to P. reeveana. 



Notes. — In Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1885, p. 212, Partula 

 isahellina Rve. is included among the synonyms of P. ofa/iritaiia, with 

 a t indicating that there are specimens in the Hartman collection. 

 No shells with this label have been found. 



Partula vanikorensis ( hioy et Cairn. Dr. Hartman regards this as 

 a valid species and places it next to P. otaheitana. It is not repre- 

 sented in the Hartman collection, and the only specimens recorded are 

 the types in the Jardin des Plantes. 



4193. "Partula lignaria Pse., Tahiti, Coll. Pse. and Coll. Geale." 

 Ten specimens, showing \ arieties. Two are dark chestnut or bay brown ; 

 two are cinereous with obsolete strigations ; four are pale with a 

 narrow dark band ; one is brownish with a darker band ( typical /ii^/iaria); 

 one is soiled brown with a narrow peripheral l)and and another below 

 the suture. In Cat. Gen. Partula, 1881, Dr. Hartman considers this 

 shell as a variety of /*. rufa Less. Subsecjuently the true ntfa was dis- 

 covered, and in the later catalogues lignaria is regarded as a valid 

 species, with affinis and nitens as synonyms. P. lignaria Garr. (non 

 Pse. ) is a variety of otaheitana. 



4194. '' Partula lignaria Pse., Tahiti, (Coll. Garr.)." Five speci- 

 mens. Three are light brown with a peripheral band (typical lignaria) ; 

 two are similar in color, with obli(|ue streaks and without the band. 

 See No. 4200.
