sent to Garrett, about 1881, he states that spadicea is "■ from Eddystone 

 Islands, Solomon Islands, and may be from other islands of the same 

 group." Garrett, in sending the memoranda to Dr. Hartman, remarks: 

 " I note that he is sure that spadicea is from the Solomon Islands. 

 In a letter received from Mr. Pease, dated some two years before his 

 death, he states that he has received spadicea from the Solomon 

 Islands." Again, writing March 15, 1892, Garrett quotes from 

 Pease's letter of April 21, 1870, ''spadicea Rve. I have found among 

 the Solomon Island species. It does not belong to the Marguesas. " 

 The Solomon Island shell referred to is no dou1:)t F. iiastnla Hartman. 

 Mr. Brazier wrote to Dr. Hartman that Pease considered that shell 

 identical with/', spadicea (see Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1886, p. 



Mr. Garrett wrote to Dr. Hartman, Feb. 10, 1879: " /*. spadicea 

 Rve., ' Marguesas.' The figure in his monograph looks very much 

 like some of the forms of sii?iii/a/is. You can ascertain whether it is 

 a Moorea shell or not, as you have every species inhabiting that 

 island. ' ' It appears that Dr. Hartman sent specimens to the British 

 Museum for comparison (see Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1885, p.

4228. '' Partiila strioIafaY^t., Moorea, Coll. Pse." Twelve speci- 

 mens, five of which are unicolored, pale brown ; the others are pale 

 with more or less obvious strigations. The name is placed among the 

 synonyms of P. tcvniata in all Dr. Hartman' s catalogues, but in his 

 MS. work he observes: "The variety P. striolata Pse. is probably a 

 hybrid between some of the varieties and P. siitiiralis Pfr. ' ' Compare 

 No. 4226. 



4229. '' Partiila luicleola Pse. MS., Moorea, Coll. Pse." Fourteen 

 specimens. The variety is shorter and more solid than the typical 

 tcsniata or any of its varieties represented in the Hartman collection. 

 Four are dark chestnut-colored ; four are whitish and banded (in color 

 like the typical fceniata) and the others are ashy or pale. This name 

 is included among the synonyms of P. fceniata in Dr. Hartman' s pub- 

 lished catalogues, but is omitted in his MS. Avork, probably by an over- 

 sight. 



4230. "■ Parti/ ia elongata Pse. (type) (typical, H. H. S.), Moorea, 

 Coll. Pse." Thirteen specimens. Three are white with spiral bands 

 similar to those of P. tceniata Morch ; the others are pale brownish to 

 white, two showing faint strigations. P. elongata is treated as a variety
