Partula abbreviata Mouss. Not represented by specimens in the 

 Hartman collection. There is a water-color drawing by E. A. Smith 

 of the type example in the British Museum (No. 4345). The form, 

 as shown in this drawing, leads to the suspicion that it may be an ab- 

 normal example. The shell is said to be from Tutuila, and was col- 

 lected by Griiffe. 



4299. " Partula conica Gould, Ui)olu, Mus. Godeff." Six speci- 

 mens, two immature, of the dextral variety. All are dead shells 

 and only one adult has the epidermis tolerably well preserved. 



4300. '■'■Partula canalis Mouss. , = t7v//V(? Gld., Upolu, Mus. 

 Godeff." Five specimens, two dark and three light brown. Dr. 

 Hartman followed Gould in uniting this sinistral shell with the 

 dextral P. conica. Others regarded them as distinct. Garrett, who 

 was of this opinion, pointed out that conica is smaller and covered 

 with fine incised revolving lines, which, in P. canalis, are seen only 

 on the apex and close to the umbilicus (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 

 1887, pp. II and 12 ). This observation is confirmed by the speci- 

 mens in the Hartman collection. Both forms are found on Upolu 

 and Tutuila, and Dr. Hartman mentions other islands in Proc. Acad. 

 Nat. Sc, 1885, p. 222. 



47^01.'^ Partula canalis Mouss., var. seniilineata, Tutuila, Mus. 

 Godeff." Three specimens, pale yellowish with a white, translucent 

 spire. One shows the incised revolving lines of P. conica, but they 

 are finer and not so distinct. 



Note. — Partula bulimoides Less., said to be from New Guinea. 

 Not represented in the Hartman collection. In his first Catalogue of 

 Partula, 1881, he refers P. conica to this species ; subsequently he 

 was inclined to regard it as distinct. In his MS. work he remarks : 

 " This shell has never been identified by conchologists. Lesson's 

 brief diagnosis may apply to some varieties of conica as well as fal>a. 

 His measurements of the shell, and the locality, require that it should 

 be kept separate." 



4302. Partula macgillivrayi Pfr . ' 'Partula turneri Pfr. , Tauua, New 

 Hebrides, Coll. , ( ieale. ' ' Four specimens, three light brownish and one 

 yellowish like No. 4303, all with more or less obvious oblique striga- 

 tions. Dr. Hartman, in all his catalogues, treats P. turneri as a 

 synonym of P. macgillivrayi. Mr. Cox, in memoranda written 

 about 1 88 1, says: "P niacgillivraxi Pfr. is from Aneitum, N. 

 Hebrides." "P. turneri Pfr. is from Erromango, N. Hebrides."
