l)ut I found it plentiful on Maug-o (written Mago by the missionaries) ." 

 Garrett in his MS. catalogue of Partula gives "■ Vanua Balavu (Garr. ), 

 Lantala (Garr.), Taviuni (Garr.). In Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1887, 

 p. 187, he gives these localities and adds that Dr. Griiffe found it on 

 Kanathia and Oneata ; he says, it lives on foliage near the seashore. 

 Presumably these specimens were obtained from Mr. Garrett. 



4237. " Partula laevigata Pfr., Coll. Geale." On the back of the 

 card is written " L. 18, \\ . 8. Don't think this hrvigata.'" The 

 numbers are for length and width (not including aperture) in milli- 

 meters. The measurements for this species given in Dr. Hartman's 

 MS. Catalogue (following Pfeiffer?) are " L. 19, D. 9," and 

 " Hab. ?" agrees with the label, which gives no locality. The word 

 ' ' Imvigata ' ' on the face of the card appears to have been imperfectly 

 erased. Mr. Geale accompanied Hugh Cuming in Polynesia. One 

 specimen. It is quite closely allied to P. flexuosa Hartm. (No. 4238) 

 but is shorter, and the aperture is not so broad and rounded ; color 

 pale with a brownish tint and an ob.solete peripheral band. 



The pencil notes on the back of this card and of No. 4238 appear 

 to have been made at the same time, perhaps when Dr. Hartman left 

 specimens for comparison with E. A. Smith of the British Museum, 

 (see. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1885, pp. 205-206). Presumably 

 the name '■'■ IcEvigata'"'' was partly erased at that time. No reference 

 to this specimen has been found in the Hartmann correspondence, but 

 in a letter from E. A. Smith, Oct. 2, 1884, he speaks of returning a 

 number of shells. As the label is still perfectly legible, it may be pre- 

 sumed that Dr. Hartman allowed it to stand, after being assured of the 

 correctness of the identification. In Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 

 1885, p. 217, the species is marked with a f, indicating that there is 

 an example in the Hartman collection. 



Notes. — " Partula micans Pfr. , Proc. Zool. Soc, 1852, p. 138." 

 This species is not represented in the Hartman collection. It is noted 

 in his published catalogues, but in his MS. work it is not mentioned 

 either as a valid species or a synonym. Mr. Garrett, writing May 22, 

 1882, suggested that it might be the same as P. cincrea /Vlbers. 



Partula cinerea Albers. This Solomon Island s]^ecies is not repre- 

 sented in the Hartman collection. At one time Dr. Hartman sup- 

 posed it might be the shell which he subsecjuently described as P. flex- 

 uosa (No. 4238). Mr. Garrett, writing May 22, 1882, suggested that 

 it might be the same as P. iii/iaiis Pfr. , the measurements being the
