4269. ^'■Partula cognata Pse. MS., Huaheine." Four specimens 

 on one card. The two central ones are orange or yellow, shining, 

 obscurely banded and with a purple spire ; these appear to be the var. 

 cognata. The one on the left, with " rosea''' marked underneath, is 

 the same as P. piirpurascens, No. 4268. The smaller one on the 

 right, with " varia ' ' marked underneath, is the same as P. varia Brod., 

 No. 4273, though the mouth is unusually small for that species. Pos- 

 sibly the card indicates that Dr. Hartman suspected cognata to be a 

 hybrid between rosea and varia. The two central shells are like 

 rosea in size and form, but resemble varia in color. P. cognata, how- 

 ever, is given as a synonym oi P. rosea in all Dr. Hartman' s catalogues 

 and in the MS. catalogue of Garrett. 



4270. '■'■Partida cognata Pse. MS. (typical), Huaheine." Eight 

 specimens, all somewhat shining. One is elongate, white, purple at 

 the sutures ; one is unicolored, yellow ; three are yellow, orange at the 

 suture and on the lower part of the body whorl, the color appearing on 

 the lip ; three are yellow, purple at the suture and on the lower part of 

 the body whorl and lip ( := estalliana Garr. MS., No. 4271). 



4271. '■^Partula estalliana Garr. MS., southeast part of Huaheine." 

 Fourteen specimens, three of which are albinos; the othersare either 

 purple or orange, with a broad pale or yellow band, which appears on 

 the upper part of the lip. These shells do not essentially differ from 

 most of the examples included under No. 4270. The name does not 

 appear in Dr. Hartman' s pul)li.shed catalogues, but in his MS. work it 

 is given as a synonym of P. rosea Brod. No doubt the specimens 

 were received from Mr. Garrett. 



4272. Partula calypso Semp. "-P. thetis O. Semp., Peleliu, Mus. 

 Godeffroy." One specimen. Dr. Hartman considered this a syno- 

 nym oi P. ealxpso O. Semp., from the same island. See Proc. Acad. 

 Nat. Sc. Phila., 1885, p. 218. In his MS. work he remarks that the 

 species is an aberrant form of Partula ; he places it provisionally after 

 P. rosea. The shells were collected by Semper on Pililu, one of the 

 Pelew Islands. In his MS. work Dr. Hartman erroneously states that 

 it is one of the Samoan Group. 



4273. "Partula varia Brod., Huaheine." Fourteen specimens. 

 One is whitish ( = No. 4274 ) ; two are pale with a purple spire, 

 approaching P. bicolor Garr. MS. No. 4275 ; one is chestnut-colored 

 ( = mueida Pfr., No. 4278 ) ; one is small, brown {=^ pulchra Pse., 

 No. 4280 ) ; seven are yellow with a dark spire and variously banded
