New Hebrides (?) without a voucher." Probably the mark on the 

 back of the card is of no value. 



4292. " Partula eximia Hartm. (type), Anietum Island, N. Heb- 

 rides." On the back of the card, in Dr. Hartman's handwriting: 

 " This shell is P. macg^illivravi Pfr. Of this I am certain, having com- 

 pared it with typical macgillvrayi.'" Possibly this note is an extract 

 from a letter, or the card may have been previously used for another 

 shell. One specimen, received from Mr. Layard. It is the type of 

 Dr. Hartman's de.scri]jtion, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1886, p. 35, 

 PI. n. Fig. 14. 



4293. "Partula alabastrina Pfr., Fiji Isls., Coll. Taylor." On 

 the back of the card is written : " This shell was received from Mr. 

 Geale, of London, who was with Hugh Cuming. The measurements 

 agree with the description." Two specimens. P. alabasfriua was 

 said to be from the Solomon Islands. Dr. Hartman, in his MS. work, 

 gives the habitat "Fiji Islands, Geale," but a blank is left for the 

 description of the species. 



4294. " Partula fraterna Hartm., Aura Island, N.Hebrides." A 

 slip pasted to the back of the card has, in Mr. Layard' s handwriting : 

 '■'^ Partula, No. 407, Aura Island, N. Hebrides." Two specimens, 

 one not quite mature. Type of Dr. Hartman's description, Proc. 

 Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1888, p. 250, PI. XIII, Fig. 3. As appears 

 from the Layard correspondence, the name fratcnia was given by Dr. 

 Hartman on account of the similarity of the species to P. carnicolor, 

 from the same island. It is noteworthy that both were labeled ' No. 

 407 ' by Mr. Layard. Probably he sent P. carnicolor first, and P. 



fraterna, which he supjiosed to be the same species, later. 



4295. " Partula auraniana Hartm., Aura Isld., N. Hebrides." A 

 slip on the back of the card has, in Mr. Layard' s handwriting : '■'■Par- 

 tula, No. 408, Aura Isld., N. Hebrides. Several stages of growth. 

 They are viviparous. Keep these for yourself." Four mature and 

 seven young and embryonic specimens. Type of Dr. Hartman's 

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

 Fig. I. The figure makes the shell too dark below. The epidermis is 

 yellowish horn-color, sometimes rubbed off on the upper part of the 

 body whorl and the spire, leaving the shell white. 



4296. "Partula guamensis Pfr., Ponape, Asention Isld., Caroline 

 Islds., Brazier dat." Five adult specimens and .seven young in 

 various stages of growth. The specimens were sent by Mr. John
