Smith : Catalocii'e of Genus Partula. 455 



In the Hartman collection there are three photographs (mounted on 

 one card), two of the figured specimens of P. corncola and one of the 

 other example (No. 4343'- ). 



4243. " Partula minor Hartm., Krromango Isld., Dr. Turner, Coll. 

 Cox." A slip pasted on the back of the card has, in Dr. Cox's hand- 

 writing : "Collected liy Turner at Erromango, Cox. P. cinerea 

 Albers." Two specimens, types of Dr. Hartman's description, Proc. 

 Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1886, p. 31, PI. II, Fig. 5 (the larger of the 

 two). Probably Dr. Cox alludes to this shell in his memoranda 

 written about 1881 : " y. cinerea Albers is said to be from the 

 Solomon Isles and I send you specimens corresponding closely to the 

 description of that species, but I feel very doubtful about it." 



The habitat given with the description is Erromango Island, 

 Solomon Islands. As Layard pointed out, the island is not one of 

 the Solomon Islands, but in the New Hebrides group ; the mistake is 

 corrected in Dr. Hartman's MS. work. 



4244. "Partula concinna Pse., Tanna (Tauua, H. H. S.), New 

 Hebrides." On the back of the card is written, "Purchased from 

 the Taylor collection. ^Vas labeled new species, N. Caledonia. This 

 is doubtless concinna Pse., New Hebrides." One specimen, evidently 

 the original of the figure published by Dr. Hartman, Proc. Acad. 

 Nat. Sc. Phila., 1886, PI. II, Fig. 16. 



4245. " Partula coxi Angas, Ysabel Isld., Solomon Islds., Brazier 

 datum." On the back of the card is written : " Brazier datum. He 

 says this is the species for which he proposed the name coxi, Angas 

 MS. Garrett thinks it pellucida Pse. Brazier gave Pease this species 

 from the same ])lace." See Dr. Hartman's observations, Proc. Acad. 

 Nat. Sc. Phila., 1885, p. 217, and 1886, p. 32. Seven specimens. 

 These are the types of the species, first described by Dr. Hartman, 

 Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1886, p. 32, PI. II, Fig. 7. This 

 species and P. pellucida Pse. were collected by Brazier ; he gave 

 specimens to Dr. Cox, who appears to have confounded them. In 

 memoranda written by Dr. Cox, about 1881 he says that /\ coxi wds 

 named from specimens which he sent to Angas. "It is from Solomon 

 Islands, from several of them, but I cannot depend upon my informa- 

 tion to decide exactly which " (see notes under No. 4246). Dr. 

 Hartman says that his specimens were presented by Brazier and were 

 from the original lot collected by him (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 

 1S85, p. 217). Mr. E. A. Smith, of the British Museum, agreed with
