432 ANNALS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. 
Nat. Sci. Phila., 1885, p. 207, with a } indicating that he had speci- 
mens in his own cabinet. No shells labeled P. castanea have been 
found. 
4124. ‘‘Partula approximata Pse. MS., Raiatea, Garr.’’ Eight 
specimens. ‘Two are pale brownish, the others reddish brown with a 
broad yellow band, corresponding to the banded specimens included 
‘under No. 4120 except that the colors are brighter. (See No. 4125, 
below, and notes under 4142 and 4170.) All the specimens included 
under No. 4124 have the umbilicus entirely closed, as in P. émperfor- 
ata, No. 4170; in Nos. 4118-4123 the umbilicus is generally a little 
open. 
4125. ‘‘Partula ovals Pse.’’ One specimen, somewhat immature 
and with the aperture slightly distorted as if pressed toward the left. 
Color orange brown with a broad yellow band. It is mounted on a 
small card, different from the cabinet cards used by Dr. Hartman ; the 
name is carelessly written and there is no indication of locality ; it ap- 
pears, in fact, to be a temporary mount. It differs from ovads in 
color and in the closed umbilicus, and in both these characters it 
agrees with approximata (=radiata), No. 4124; from the latter it dif- 
fers in having the lip less developed and being without the parietal 
tooth ; but this may be due to immaturity. 
It is possible that this is the specimen labeled P. ovals, which was 
sent to Mr. Garrett and returned, as appears from the Garrett letters. 
Mr. Garrett wrote (Jan. 25, 1885): ‘‘ Your ovatvs, which is not a 
symmetrical example, has the aperture slightly pressed toward the left. 
It is widely different from my ova/s. It is one of the forms of fusca 
inhabiting Vaioare Valley. It may be a hybrid between fusca and 
navigatoria.’’ ‘The specimen, however, has no resemblance to P. 
navigatoria, and the shell referred to may have been a specimen of the 
true ovals. 
4126. ‘‘Partula ovalis Pse. (type) (typical, H. H. S.), Raiatea, 
Coll. Pse.’? ‘Twelve specimens, varying considerably in size and form. 
Color dark castaneous or brown, three or four examples showing a yel- 
low band more or less apparent. 
4127. ‘* Partula ovals Pse., Raiatea.’’ Seven specimens, larger 
than those included under No. 4126 and of a uniform dark castaneous 
color. ‘They are hardly distinguishable from No. 4111 (P. protea, = 
fusca), except by the absence of the parietal tooth, and perhaps they 
should be referred to that species. Dr. Hartman long regarded ovals
