Smith : Catalogue oi" Gf.nus Partui.a. 451 



o( P. tipniata in all Dr. llartman's catalogues. Mr. Garrett consid- 

 ered it distinct. Writing Feb. lo, 1879, ^^ stated that he found it in 

 a valley, associated with vexillum ( ■=. sutiifa/is) and simulans, and re- 

 marks : "Carpenter referred elongata to lineata var. (presumably 

 Reeve's lineata, = sitfura/is) and says it closely resembles a large 

 gracilis { = aftc/iuafa Pse., No. 4235). He was right in the latter 

 conclusion ; but he might with almost ecjual propriety have referred it 

 to otahcitana as to lineata. Now you write that it is considered to be 

 identical with repanda Pfr., a New Hebrides species, an entirely differ- 

 ent shell according to the diagnosis." 



4231. '■'■ Fartiila elongataV^t., Moorea." Four s[)ecimcns, all white. 

 Two are considerably shorter than the others. 



4232. ^' Partula elongata Pse. (vars.), Emeo." The locality name 

 (Kimeo, Moorea) is on a slip pasted to the card, and perhaps in Geale's 

 handwriting. Five specimens. Two are brown, one cinereous and two 

 white with the apex faintly rosy. 



4233. " Partula carteriensis Quoy et (iaimard, Carteret Isl., New 

 Ireland." Seven s])ecimens, varying in color from pale cinereous 

 brownish to white. Presumably these shells, or some of them, are 

 from the Cox collection. In memoranda written by Dr. Cox, about 

 1 88 1, he says the species is from Port Carteret, New Ireland. 



4234. "Partula hyalina Brod. (type) (typical, H. H. S.), Ta- 

 hiti." Twelve sjjecimens, including one immature and one old shell 

 with the lip greatly thickened. In a catalogue of Partula (undated) 

 which Mr. Garrett sent to Dr. Hartman he gives the localities for this 

 species: "Tahiti (Garr.), Rurutu (De Gage), Mangaia (Garr.). 

 Dr. Hartman, in his MS. work, notes these and adds : " Tumaco 

 (Cuming)." The shells are all white. See No. 4348. 



4235. "Partula attenuata Pse. (type) (typical, H. H. S.), 

 Raiatea, Coll. Pse." Twelve specimens. Mr. Garrett (MS. cata- 

 logue) states that he has collected this species on Tahiti and Raiatea. 



4236. " Partula lirata Mousson, Lanthali " (prol)ably the locality 

 is Lantala, or l.anthala, Fiji Is.). Six specimens, varying in color 

 from light brownish to white. Dr. Hartman, in Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. 

 Phila., 1885, p. 216, gives the habitat " Tavinu, Viti Islands" and 

 elsewhere "Tavinu or Somma Is." Mr. layard, writing June 11, 

 1887, says: "There are no such [)laces. I suspect the islands of 

 Taviuni and Loma-loma are meant. I collected for six weeks on the 

 first named and for a dav or two on the latter and never saw the shell,
