434 ANNALS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. 
true ovalis, two of the banded variety and three of the type. The 
shells I formerly supposed to be vva/zs I now refer to /ugubris. On 
looking over my journal I see recorded the discovery of a new ground 
Partuda in the Faaloa Valley on the east coast of Raiatea, and I gave 
it the provisional name castanea. Mr. Pease, when he bought my col- 
lection, adopted all my provisional names which I gave to each species 
when discovered. As I did not use the name ozva/zs, I have every rea- 
son to believe that he renamed the shell. His description accords 
much better with (my) cas¢anea than with the shell I formerly sup- 
posed to be ovals. It is very closely allied to wttata, as you will 
remark from the description.’’ Subsequently both Dr. Hartman and 
Mr. Garrett regarded castanea Pse. MS. and Garr. MS. as a variety of 
vittata Pse. (see note under No. 4123). Mr. Garrett appears to have 
returned to his idea that ova/is was a synonym or variety of Zuguwdrts, 
and he gives it. as such:in Journ. Acad.“Nat.Sci. Philay) 1X, pe jo: 
But it does not appear that this was the shell which Dr. Hartman 
called ova/’s, and it is doubtful if Garrett had that form in his collec- 
tion. They made direct comparisons of specimens. See extracts from 
Mr. Garrett’s letter under Nos. 4130 and 4125 ; the shell referred to 
by Garrett, quoted under the latter number, may be the true ovals. 
4129. Partula navigatoria Pfr. ‘‘Partula variabilis Pse. = navi- 
gatorta Pfr., Raiatea, Coll. Pse., Garr. and Geale.’’ Fourteen speci- 
mens, varying much in size and form ; all are pale brown or cinereous 
brown, with oblique streaks of a darker color, and without bands. ‘The 
name wavigatovia is a misnomer, but has remained in use. Mr. Pease 
seems to have been in doubt as to the identity of this species. He wrote 
to Mr. Garrett, April 21, 1870 (quoted in Garrett’s letter, March 15, 
1882): ‘‘Among the species I have lately determined is ‘ xavigatorza’ 
( Pfr.) which is a small variety of faéa.’’ In Pease’s list of Polynesian 
» shells, Proc. Zo6l. Soc., 1871, Partula navigatorta does not appear. 
Carpenter referred fusca Pse. to navigatoria. See No. 4116. 
Mr. Garrett wrote to Dr. Hartman, Feb. 12, 1883: ‘‘ P. naviga- 
toria is frequently banded and some forms cannot be distinguished from 
some elongated forms of fvsea. Had the former been a strictly ground 
species I would have made it synonymous with the latter.’” See under 
No. 4119 and No. 4109. 
4130. ‘* Partula lugubris Pse., Raiatea, Coll. Pse.’’ Six specimens, 
four immature and much smaller than the others. Five are dark brown, 
lighter above, with a narrow pale peripheral band ; the other (imma-
