SMITH : CATALOGUE OF GENUS PARTULA. 443 
4191. ‘‘ Partula amabilis Rve., Tahiti, Coll. Pse.’’ Eight speci- 
mens, all sinistral and rather larger than the typical ofahettana. Six 
are pale yellowish ; the others (for comparison ?) are banded ( = svzzs- 
trorsa Pse.). P. amadilis is given among the varieties of P. otaheitana 
in all Dr. Hartman’s catalogues. 
Atg2. ‘‘ Partula reeveana Pfr., Tahiti.’’ Three specimens. A 
large, pale, dextral form of P. otahettana, with which it is united in all 
Dr. Hartman’s catalogues. On the back of the card is written: ‘* These 
shells correspond to the type in the B. M.’’ In the Hartman collec- 
tion there is a drawing of the British Museum type by E. A. Smith 
(No. 4344). This drawing was seen by Garrett, who wrote, Feb. 12, 
1883: ‘‘Smith’s figure of reeveana, which I return, is undoubtedly 
one of the forms of ofahettana from the Fantana Valley, the head- 
quarters of the type as well as forms which cannot be separated from 
some forms of “egnaria, affinis, amabilis, sinistrorsa, rubescens, ete,” 
Dr. Cox, ina memorandum written about 1881, expresses his doubts 
of the habitat, ‘‘ Solomon Islands,’’ attributed to P. reeveana. 
Norrs.—In Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1885, p. 212, Partula 
tsabellina Rve. is included among the synonyms of P. ofaheitana, with 
a + indicating that there are specimens in the Hartman collection. 
No shells with this label have been found. 
Partula vanikorensis Quoy et Gaim. Dr. Hartman regards this as 
a valid species and places it next to P. ofahettana. It is not repre- 
sented in the Hartman collection, and the only specimens recorded are 
the types in the Jardin des Plantes. 
4193. ‘‘Partula lignaria Pse., Tahiti, Coll. Pse. and Coll. Geale.”’ 
Ten specimens, showing varieties. ‘lwo are dark chestnut or bay brown ; 
two are cinereous with obsolete strigations; four are pale with a 
narrow dark band; one is brownish with a darker band (typical /zgzar7a) ; 
one is soiled brown with a narrow peripheral band and another below 
the suture. In Cat. Gen. Partula, 1881, Dr. Hartman considers this 
shell as a variety of P. rufa Less. Subsequently the true w/a was dis- 
covered, and in the later catalogues Zgvaria is regarded as a valid 
species, with affinds and nifens as synonyms. /. “égnaria Garr. (non 
Pse. ) is a variety of ofahettana. 
4194. ‘‘ Partula lignaria Pse., Tahiti, (Coll. Garr.).’’ Five speci- 
mens. Three are light brown with a peripheral band (typical Zgvarza) ; 
two are similar in color, with oblique streaks and without the band.
