 1886, J). 2)}f> ^''- "' '"'K- i°- Phis species is represented in the Hart- 

 man collection only by two photographs mounted on cards. The first 

 (No. 4339) corresponds to the published figure and is marked " type." 

 On the back of the card is written : " P^xample returned to Dr. Cox." 

 Probably the example was returned to Mr. Brazier, as Dr. Hartman 

 states, loc. cit., that Brazier had sent the shells ; in his MS. cata- 

 logue the species is said to be in the " collection of Mr. John Brazier, 

 Sidney, Australia." The other photograph (No. 4340) is of a smaller 

 shell, marked ^^ Partula eluinica Hartm. Hab. ? " No doubt this also 

 was returned to Brazier. 



Partula proxima Hartm., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1886, p. 34, 

 PI. II, Fig. II. This specimen is represented in the Hartman collec- 

 tion only by two cards on each of which are photographs of two shells. 

 One (No. 4337) is marked '■'■Partula proxima Hartm., Vanua Levu, 

 N. Hebrides." The photographs are separated, and one of them, 

 corresponding to the published figure, is marked "type." On the 

 back of the card is written: "Returned to Dr. Cox." The other 

 (No. 4338) is marked '■'■Partula proxima Hartm., Vanua Levu, Banks 

 Islands." On the back of the card is written : " Photos from Coll., 

 Cox, all returned." In the description it is stated that the shells were 

 received from Mr. Brazier, and in his MS. work Dr. Hartman credits 

 the species to the collection of Mr. John Brazier, Sidney ; they may 

 have been returned to Mr. Brazier through Dr. Cox. The habitat is 

 Vanua-lavu, Banks Islands. 



4291. "Partula glaber Hartm. (type), N. Hebrides?" One 

 specimen, marked " type exami)le." On the back of the card is writ-
