specimen, and the other is an adult shell, different from the one on the 

 card ; this may have been an example loaned by Dr. Cox or Mr. Brazier 

 and subsequently returned. Probably the specimens were sent by Mr. 

 Brazier, June 15, 1882, as appears from his letter of that date. He 

 states that he collected them at Vate or Sandwich Island. 



4288. ^'Farhi/a pfeifferi Crosse, Havanna Harbour, Vate Island, 

 N. Hebrides." Two specimens, one marked on the shell " 20." A 

 synonym of P. caledonlca. Crosse proposed the name pfeifferi, as 

 caledonica is a misnomer. 



Notes. — Partula brazieri Pse. Not represented in the Hartman 

 collection. Dr. Hartman, in his Bibliographical Catalogue and in 

 ,Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc, 1885, p. 222, places it among the synonyms of 

 P. caledonica Pfr. Mr. Brazier wrote, Jan. iS, 1885: "It was in 

 1879 ( ^ ) -'^ ^^^^t the whole of my Partulas to Pease and in the lot 

 one that I obtained at Tutuila, Navigators, only a single specimen, 

 which he described and figured as P. brazieri ; he having died shortly 

 after I never received the specimen back." Dr. Hartman alludes to 

 this, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1885, pp. 222, 223, and adds: 

 " The example in the Coll. Acad. Nat. Sc, labeled P. brazieri Pease, 

 ex auctore, is of the New Hebrides type, and agrees with my example 

 of fi/nieri''' {caiedouica ?). In his MS. work Dr. Hartman treats jP. 

 brazieri as a valid species. Garrett, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 

 1887, p. 12, doubts its having been obtained at Tutuila. In a letter, 

 Sept. 8, 1880, he expresses the same doubt and adds : " Pease was 

 very careless in regard to localities. He says it belongs to the conica 

 group, but his figure proves that it belongs to the New Hebrides 

 type." 



Partula turricula Pse. Not represented in the Hartman collection. 

 In memoranda by Dr. Cox, about 1881, he observes that the New 

 Hebrides habitat attributed to this species wants confirmation. It is 

 given with doubt in Dr. Hartman' s papers and in his MS. work. The 

 species has never been figured. vSee No. 4291. 



4289. "Partula carnicolor Hartm., Aura Island, N. Hebrides." 

 Four specimens, including two immature. Types of Dr. Hartman' s 

 description, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1888, p. 250, PI. XIII, Fig. 

 2 (the more elongate of the two adults). A slip pasted on the back 

 of the card has, in Mr. Layard's handwriting: '■'■ Partula, No. 407, 

 Aura Isld., N. Hebrides. Scarce, very few received. I send one 

 adult and one young to show epidermis. ' ' Probably the other ex-
