Smuh : Caiauxiie of Genus Partula. 459 



No. 4255, agreeing in this resiject with No. 4257. They \ary con- 

 siderably in size. 



4257. Partula recta Pse., varieties, Nukuhiwa and Mauui, Mar- 

 quesas." Nine specimens, varying greatly in size. All are smaller, 

 shorter, more inflated and thinner than the typical recta, No. 4255, 

 and the aperture is much broader ; color pale brownish to whitish, 

 sometimes a little darker on the the lower half of the body whorl. 

 The exami)les of medium size agree well with a drawing by E. A. 

 Smith of the (supposed) type of P. gonocheila Pfr. in the British 

 Museum (No. 4345). l>r. Hartman noticed this resemblance (Proc. 

 Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila. , 1885, pp. 219, 220) but remarks that the Brit- 

 ish Museum examples do not agree with Reeve's figure of gonocheila, 

 which = gaiiymcdcs Pfr. 



4258. ^'Partula strigata Pse. (typical), Nukuhiwa and Mauui, Mar- 

 (juesas." On the back of the card is written : " This shell is only a 

 dark var. of recta.'" Four sjjecimens, all castaneous or bay-brown, 

 and varying somewhat in size and form. Three of them api)roach the 

 typical recta, No. 4255, in form, but are not so large and heavy; the 

 other is shorter and more inflated, resembling in form some examples 

 of No. 4257. In his first cataloge of Partula, 1881, Dr. Hartman 

 makes P. strigata a synonym of ^. varia Brod., a Society Islands spe- 

 cies (see No. 4274); in his later catalogues he treats it as a variety of 

 P. recta. 



4259. '■'■Partula strigata Pse. = recta Pse. (yellow variety), Nuku- 

 hiwa and Mauui, Marquesas. " Ten specimens, pale yellowish-brown 

 or white, and corresponding closely to some of the larger specimens 

 included under No. 4257. See note under No. 4274. 



Note. — Partula repanda Pfr. This species, said to be from New 

 Hebrides, is not represented by specimens in the Hartman collection. 

 There is a drawing by E. A. Smith of the type repauda in the British 

 Museum (No. 4345). Mr. Oarrelt, who saw this drawing, remarked 

 (February 25, 1883) that it resembled some forms of tceniata. Dr. 

 Hartman says (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1885, p. 220) that some 

 of the light-colored varieties of recta in the Pease duplicates resemble 

 repanda, but a comparison with the type repanda in the British Museum 

 proved them to be distinct. 



4260. "Partula actor Albers = s^/v7V/</ Gould, Samoa." On the 

 back of the card is written : " These shells are from the Belcher expe- 

 dition in voyage Sulphur which touched at Samoa." F"our specimens.
