Smiih : Cataloouf, of Genus Partula. 401 



his MS. catalogue, No. ii6, where he gives the habitat as " Woapo, 

 Manjuesas." Tyiie of Dr. Hartman's description and figure, Proc. 

 Acad. Nat. Sc. I'hila., 1885, p. 203. It is stated that Mr. (Barrett 

 sent a similar shell from Dominiciue to the Museum Godeffroy. 



4265. "Partula decussatula Pfr. (type) (typical, H. H. S.), 

 Dominiiiue, Marcjucsas." Twelve specimens, varying in size. Most 

 of them are somewhat pellucid, with only traces of a peripheral line ; 

 hut three large ones and one smaller are subopaque, white at the 

 suture, and on two of these the peripheral band is well marked ; they 

 look like miniature examples of P. ganyi/iedes, No. 4251. Mr. 

 Garrett wrote (Sept. 5, 1882), that he had sent specimens of 7'. 

 decussatula to Mr. Taylor, who had them examined in London ; they 

 were identified with i^-o/iochci/a Pfr. He repeats this statement in 

 another letter, Feb. 12, 1883. With the Hartman collection there is 

 a drawing, by E. A. Smith, of the type decussatula in the British 

 Museum (No. 4345). Mr. Smith wrote underneath the drawing: 

 " Differs from gonochcila (Brit. Mus.) in spire being shorter, li])S less 

 reflexed and extremities more converging — mouth large." Mr. 

 Ciarrett, after seeing this drawing, wrote (Nov. 25, 1883): "The 

 drawing of decussatula proves the correctness of your determination 

 of that .species. The figure is much better than Reeve's." Perhaps 

 Garrett himself collected these shells and sent them to Dr. Hartman, 

 who determined them ; in the Garrett MS. catalogue. No. 114, which 

 he collected at Dominique, is unidentified. 



4266. "Partula rosea Brod., Huaheine." Twehe specimens, 

 varying in form from elongate to subobese. Four are rosy (one with 

 an ob.scure yellow peripheral band) ; one is rosy with the lower part of 

 the body whorl yellow ; two are iJurj)le-brown, shining, with a }ellow 

 band (^ estalliana Garr. MS., No. 4271) ; one is entirely cinereous 

 brown ; one is short, purple-brown with a broad yellow band ; one is 

 salmon colored with a broad yellow band ; two are shining reddi.sh, 

 and one of these has a yellow band. 



4267. '■'■Partula rosea Brod. (abnormal), Huaheine." One speci- 

 men of the purpurascens variety, with the body whorl and lip distorted 

 around the umbilicus. 



4268. "Partula purpurascens Pfr., Huaheine." Seven specimens, 

 dark purplish-brown, sometimes with a reddish spire, interior purple, 

 lip lilac-tinted. P. purpurascens is treated as a variety or synonym 

 of P. rosea in all Dr. Hartman's catalogues.
