4278. " A^r/z/A? ;;///^7V/d! Pfr. (typical). Huaheine." Five specimens 

 of a dark chestnut-colored shell, more elongate than the typical varia, 

 No. 4273, or the vars. Nos. 4274-4276; the mouth is narrower and 

 the lip more developed. Compare No. 4279. P. mucida is placed 

 among the synonyms oi varia in all Dr. Hartman's catalogues. With 

 the collection there is a water-color drawing by E. A. Smith of the 

 type mucida in the British Museum (No. 4345). Mr. Garrett, who 

 saw this drawing, agreed with Dr. Hartman that it was a variety of 

 varia (letter, Nov. 25, 1883). 



4279. '■'■Partiila luialieincusis Carr. MS., Huaheine, Coll. Garr." 

 Ten specimens. Four are dark chestnut colored, aj^proaching P. 

 mucida Pfr., No. 4278, but smaller; four are yellow, one dark on the 

 spire ; two are yellow obscurely banded. In size the average is less 

 than that of most of the varieties of P. varia, but greater than P. 

 pulcJira Pse., No. 4280. In his MS. catalogue, Mr. Garrett makes 

 this a synonym of pulchra, which he later regarded as a variety of 

 varia. P. huaheinensis is given among the synonyms of P. varia in 

 all Dr. Hartman's catalogues. 



4280. '■'Partula pulcJira Pse. (typical), Huaheine, Coll. Pse." 

 Seven specimens. Four are dark castaneous and three yellowish. The 

 smallest of the varieties referred to P. varia (see No. 4279). This is 

 P. variavzx. pulciira Pse., Proc. Z06I. Soc. Lond., 1871, p. 473. It is 

 included among the synonyms of zv/r/a in all Dr. Hartman's catalogues. 



Note. — Partula newcombianum Hartm., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. 

 Phila. , 1886, pp. 34, 35, PI. II, Fig. 13. This species is represented 

 in the Hartman collection only by two photographs mounted on cards 

 (Nos. 4335 and 4336). One (No. 4336), marked "type", is the 

 original of the figure; on the back of the card is written: "The 

 vessel was lost in which the example w^as returned and the type is 

 lost. ' ' Presumably the type example was to have been returned to 

 Mr. Layard, but there is no mention of the loss in the existing La yard 

 letters. The other photograph (No. 4335) is so different as to sug- 

 gest a doubt whether the label is correct. 



4281. "Partula assimilis Pse., Rarotonga Island (Coll. Pse.)." 

 Eight specimens. In his MS. catalogue Garrett states that he col- 

 lected the species on Rarotonga, presumably before he sold his collec- 

 tion to Pease. See No. 4330. 



4282. ' '■Partula cookiana Mouss MS. , = assimilis, Rarotonga Island. ' ' 

 Five specimens, rather smaller than those included under No. 4281.
