4240. " Partula incurvum Hartm., Rubiana IsL, Solomon Isls." 

 Two specimens and a photograph mounted on the same card. Col- 

 lected by Mr. Brazier, and the types from which Dr. Hartman drew his 

 description, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila. , 1886, p. 31, PI. II, Pig. 3 

 (corresponding to the photograph). The photograph app^rs to cor- 

 respond to the larger and paler example, but possibly represents an- 

 other which was returned to Brazier. 



Note. — Partula woodlarkiana Hartm., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 

 1886, p. 33. This species is represented in the Hartman collection 

 only by two photographs of the same example (No. 4334) mounted 

 on a card and labeled "Partula woodlarkiana Hartm., New Guinea, 

 Woodlark Isld." On the back of the card is written: "The shell 

 was returned to Brazier as requested." In his MS. work Dr. Hart- 

 man places this species next to P. inciirviuii Hartm. 



4241. "Partula regularis Hartm., Savu or Galeria Isl., Solomon 

 Isls. ' ' Two specimens, collected by Brazier, and the types of Dr. 

 Hartman's description, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1886, p. 31, PI. 

 II, Fig. 4 (ap])arently the shorter of the two). 



Note. — Partula similaris Hartm., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 

 1886, p. 30, PI. II, Fig. I. This species is not represented in 

 the Hartman collection. Probably the type was returned to Mr. 

 Brazier. In Dr. Hartman's MS. work it is placed after F. regularis 

 Hartm. 



4242. "Partula corneola Hartm., Eimeo = Moorea." On the 

 back of the card is written: "Eimeo, Geale, one of the Society 

 Islands. Not in B. Mus. Partula corneola Hartm., unpublished." 

 Two specimens, types of Dr. Hartman's description, Proc. Acad. Nat. 

 Sc. Phila., 1886, p. 32, PI. II, Fig. 6 (the larger of the two). Dr. 

 Hartman observes, loc. cit., "This shell is not found in the British 

 Museum or the Jardin des Plantes and I have only met with it twice in 

 private collections." The habitat, Moorea, needs confirmation and is 

 given with doubt by Dr. Hartman in his description ; he remarks that 

 the shell possesses the dome-like apex (aperture ?) of the Solomon Island 

 species. Mr. Geale was the companion of Hugh Cuming in Poly- 

 nesia ; Cuming himself was notoriously uncertain in his locality labels, 

 and Geale did not always know where his shells were obtained. Gar- 

 rett, who collected extensively in the Society Islands, sent large suites 

 of Moorea shells to Dr. Hartman. In one of his letters he states that 

 the.se included all the Partulas from that island.
