Mr. (iarrett, in his MS. catalogue, gives the habitats " Dominicjue 

 and Taiwate Islands, Manjucsas," and states that he had collected it. 

 In a letter, November 24, 1879, ^^ observes: "When Pfeiffer de- 

 scribed P. ganyincdes in Proc. Zool. Soc, p. 39, 1846, he recorded it 

 as from the Society Islands. It was brought to Tahiti by the mis- 

 sionaries." 



4252. " Fartiila ga/iv/iiedcs Vh., Dominique, Marquesas." Seven 

 specimens. Two are of the typical variety (No. 4251) ; two are 

 smaller, brown on the ba.sal half of the body whorl ; two are still 

 smaller and brown except a narrow white band below the suture ; one 

 is entirely white. 



4253. '■'■ Partitia gauytnedesVlx. var., Dominique, Marquesas, Coll. 

 Geale." Six specimens, varying in size. Three are brown with a 

 white band below the suture, and in one of them the body Avhorl is 

 angulated ; two are pale cinereous brown with the upper part of the 

 body whorl white ; one is pale with a narrow peripheral band. 



4254. '■'■ Partitia fasciata Pse., Domini(|ue, Marquesas." Eight 

 specimens. Smaller than the typical ganymedcs, white with a narrow 

 peripheral band, or with the lower part of the body whorl brown or 

 ashy, the band obscurely visible on the darker ground. P. fasciata is 

 treated as a variety oi P. gauymcdcs in all Dr. Hartman's catalogues. 



Note. — Partula gonocheila Pfr. This doubtful species, said to be 

 from the Navigator Islands, is not represented by specimens in the 

 Hartman collection. There is a drawing of the (supposed) type in 

 British Museum, by E. A. Smith (No. 4345). Mr. Garrett, who saw 

 this drawing, wrote : '' go//oc/icila is undoubtedly a Marquesas .species, 

 and has no resemblance to Reeve's figure, and differs entirely from 

 any form o( gaiiy/uedcs.''' See notes under Nos. 4257 and 4265, and 

 Dr. Hartman's observations, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phil., 1SS5, pp. 

 219, 220. Ciarrett does not mention the species in his paper on the 

 terrestrial moUusca of the Navigator Islands. 



4255. "Partula recta Pse. (typical), Mauui and Nukuhiwa, Mar- 

 quesas." On the back of the card is written : "These are exactly 

 like the Pease types." Four specimens, one with two embryonic 

 shells in the mouth. The examples are pale brown to whitish, and are 

 larger and thicker than the other varieties referred to P. recta. 



4256. '■'■Partula recta Pse. (white var., typical), Mauui and Nuku- 

 hiwa, Marquesas, Coll. P.se." Eight specimens, all white. They 

 are smaller, shorter, more glabrous and thinner than the typical recta,
