Smith : Catalogue ok Genus Pakiula. 447 



u/ans ( = tieniata var. ) were found associated in a valley ; and he says 

 that sinistral vexilhim are rare as compared with the dextral form. 

 Apparently he uses the name vexilluin in a broader sense, including 

 alter nata. None of the other varieties of siitii rails are represented in 

 the Hartman collection by sinistral examples. 



4212. " Partula alternata Pse. (type) (typical, H. H. S.), Moorea." 

 Seventeen specimens, all dextral and generally with a small parietal 

 tooth. Six are pale, streaked obliquely with brown, and with only traces 

 of bands ; eight have from one to three spiral bands, the strigations 

 being less obvious ; three are brown by the coalescence of the striga- 

 tions. The name is a MS. one. It is given as a synonym or variety 

 oi P. siititralls Pfr. in all l)r.» Hartman' s catalogues. 



4213. ^^ Partula alternata Pse., Moorea." Nine specimens, all 

 dextral, variously banded and strigate ; in some the dark bands are so 

 broad that they cover the greater part of the shell. One has two bands, 

 and the strigations are obsolete ; this cannot be distinguished from the 

 dextral form of vexilluin, No. 421 1. 



4214. '■'■ Partula alternata Pse., Moorea, Garrett datum." Nine 

 dextral examj)les, variously banded and strigate. 



4215. ^'Partula alternata Pse., Moorea." Nine specimens, all 

 dextral. Only one is banded ; one is small, yellow, without obvious 

 bands or strigations ; seven are elongate and more or less strigate 

 obliquely. 



4216. '■^Partula alternata Pse., Moorea." Two dextral speci- 

 mens, one a short form of the ordinary streaked variety, with traces 

 of a pale spiral band, the other small, white, obsoletely strigate with 

 brown. Neither shows the parietal tooth. 



4217. '^'^ Partula alternata Pse., abnormal." One dextral specimen 

 of the vexilluni variety, without the parietal tooth and with the spire 

 contorted and depressed. 



4218. '^Partula alternata Pse. var., Moorea, Marquesas." (Moorea 

 or Morea or Eimeo is one of the Society Islands, H. H. S.) Three 

 specimens of a straw colored variety with obsolete strigations, and white 

 at the suture ; t\vo are small and short, with a faint peripheral dark 

 line ; the third is elongate, without the line, and without a parietal tooth. 



4219. " Partula St ri^i^osaVix., yioox<t2iy Five specimens, all pale 

 with oblifjue strigations : one has traces of dark spiral bands. Included 

 among the synonyms of P. saturalis Pfr. in all Dr. Hartman's cata- 

 logues.
