446 ANNALS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. 
Conch., (1866, p. Foss “r8o7 ip. Sig El. Wl. ign and); wovesa 
var. ¢rilineata Pse., Proc. Zoél. Soc. London, 1871, p. 473, the habitat 
ascribed to it being Moorea. Dr. Hartman in his MS. catalogue 
described ¢vz/ineata as the typical form of zodosa. 
4210. ‘* Partula compressa Pfr. (typical), Fiji Isl.’’ Four speci- 
mens. See No. 41533: 
Notr.—Partula lineata Less. This doubtful species, which Dr. 
Hartman places after. P. compressa in his MS. catalogue, is not repre- 
sented in the Hartman collection. In Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 
1885, p. 213, the name is given with a + indicating that Dr. Hartman 
had specimens in his cabinet; but this is evidently a mistake, as the 
context shows that he relied solely on Lesson’s figure and description. 
Mr. Garrett wrote to Dr. Hartman, Jan. 5, 1884: ‘‘I think Lesson’s 
lineata may be considered a lost species. I regret using the name in 
my paper.’’ He refers to his paper in Journ. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 
IX, p. 50, where he erroneously identifies a variety of su¢urals Pfr. 
with “xeata ; in this he followed Reeves’ figure. In a letter from Mr. 
Brazier to Dr. Hartman, June 18, 1885, he says: ‘‘ I doubt very much 
of P. Lneata Less. being found at Oualan. I was there fourteen days 
and went once across the island from Cheobel (Chabroul ?) Harbor to 
Coquelle Harbor, and never saw anything like Lesson’s figure. I 
found all other species of Helices that were described by Pease before 
I ever went there.” 
Writing June 11, 1887, Mr. Layard observes: ‘‘ If Oualan is in the 
Fijis, it should be Ovalau, on which Levuka is situated.’’ Probably 
Dr. Hartman adopted this suggestion, for in his MS. work the habitat 
given for the species is ‘‘ Ovalau.’’ It should be noted, however, 
that Lesson described at least one other species (Partula rufa) from 
Oualan, where it was subsequently found by Brazier. 
4211. Partula suturalis Pfr. ‘‘Partula vexillum Pease, Moorea 
Isld.’’ Seven specimens, five dextral and two sinistral. All are pale 
yellowish with two or three narrow reddish-brown bands, and without 
strigations ; the parietal tooth is present in all the examples. ‘The 
dextral specimens closely resemble some included under the var. /. 
alternata Pse (see No. 4213). According to Dr. Hartman (MS. cata- 
logue) the type examples of P. suturals Pfr. are like P. vexi/lum 
(dextral form?) and vex7//um is given as a synonym of suturalis, which 
has precedence, in the later Hartman catalogues. Mr. Garrett, Feb. 
10, 1879, remarks that vexellum, elongata ( = tentata var.) and sim-
