SMITH: CATALOGUE OF GENUS PARTULA. . 445 
depauperated specimen, No. 4203 ; two are larger, thin, inflated, pale 
with a darker apex. 
4203. ‘‘ P. affinis Pse. (depauperated).’’ One specimen. 
4204. ‘* Partula nitens Pfr., Coll. Taylor.’’ On the back of the 
card is written: ‘‘Sent Smith (EK. A. Smith) one example. He says 
nodosa, type. No.’’ Three specimens. Compare Nos. 4196 and 4201. 
P. nitens is referred to P. gnaria in all Dr. Hartman’s catalogues. 
4205. ‘*Partula clara Pse. (type) (typical, H. H. S.), Tahiti, Coll. 
Pse. (rare).’’ Ten specimens. One is brown; three are yellowish ; 
two are pale brown, banded ; fourare white. Mr. Garrett wrote, Feb. 
to, 1879: ‘‘P. clara is not a Moorea species. It is a very rare local 
Tahiti species and, like aznectens and turgida, appears to be gradually 
becoming extinct. I have only three examples in my collection.’” 
In his MS. Catalogue Dr. Hartman gives the habitat ‘‘ southern part 
of Tahiti.’’ 
4206. ‘¢ Partula stolida Pse. (typical), Tahiti.’’ Five specimens, 
varying in color from bay brown to yellowish. In his MS. Catalogue 
Dr. Hartman says that the species is from ‘‘ Papenoo Valley, N. E. 
coast of Tahiti.’’ 
4207. ‘*Partula filosa Pfr. = “meolata Pse., Tahiti.’’ Twelve 
specimens, castaneous to pale yellowish, with oblique white strigations. 
In the Hartman collection there is a drawing by E. A. Smith of the 
type f/osa in the British Museum (No. 4345). Mr. Garrett, who saw 
this drawing, agreed with Dr. Hartman that the species was the same 
as Pease’s ineolata (letter of Nov. 25, 1883), and he gave f/osa the 
priority in his paper on Society Island shells. In previous letters he 
had expressed a doubt of the habitat, ‘‘ Navigator Islands,’’ attributed 
to filosa by Pfeiffer. 
4208. ‘‘Partula nodosa Pfr. (type) (typical H. H. S.), Tahiti, 
Coll. Taylor.’’ Six specimens, brown with a white sutural band and 
oblique strigations. Two examples have white peripheral bands inter- 
rupted by the strigations, and in one the entire base is pale; these 
approach the more strongly banded examples of var. “z/ineata, No. 
4209. Inhis MS. catalogue Dr. Hartman gives the habitat ‘‘ Panaavia 
Valley, North Coast, Tahiti.’’ 
4209. ‘‘ Partula nodosa Pfr. = trilineata Pse., Tahiti.’’ Fourteen 
specimens. Well characterized by the three narrow dark bands on a 
paler ground ; in several the bands are broader and the ground color 
is clouded by strigations. This is P. ¢r7/neata Pse., Amer. Journ.
