SMITH : CATALOGUE OF GENUS PARTULA. 447 
ulans ( = teniata var.) were found associated in a valley ; and he says 
that sinistral vexe//wm are rare as compared with the dextral form. 
Apparently he uses the name vex7//wm in a broader sense, including 
alternata. None of the other varieties of swfurafs are represented in 
the Hartman collection by sinistral examples. 
4212. ‘* Partula alternata Pse.(type) (typical, H. H. S.), Moorea.’’ 
Seventeen specimens, all dextral and generally with a small parietal 
tooth. Six are pale, streaked obliquely with brown, and with only traces 
of bands; eight have from one to three spiral bands, the strigations 
being less obvious ; three are brown by the coalescence of the striga- 
tions. ‘The name isa MS. one. It is given as a synonym or variety 
of P. suturats Pfr. in all Dr. Hartman’s catalogues. 
4213. ‘‘ Partula alternata Pse., Moorea.’’ Nine specimens, all 
dextral, variously banded and strigate ; in some the dark bands are so 
broad that they cover the greater part of the shell. One has two bands, 
and the strigations are obsolete ; this cannot be distinguished from the 
dextral form of vexz//um, No. 4211. 
4214. ‘‘Partula alternata Pse., Moorea, Garrett datum.’’ Nine 
dextral examples, variously banded and strigate. 
4215. ‘‘Partula alternata Pse., Moorea.’’ Nine specimens, all 
dextral. Only one is banded ; one is small, yellow, without obvious 
bands or strigations ; seven are elongate and more or less strigate 
obliquely. 
4216. ‘‘Partula alternata Pse., Moorea.’’ Two dextral speci- 
mens, one a short form of the ordinary streaked variety, with traces 
of a pale spiral band, the other small, white, obsoletely strigate with 
brown. Neither shows the parietal tooth. 
4217. ‘‘Partula alternata Pse., abnormal.’’ One dextral specimen 
of the vexz//um variety, without the parietal tooth and with the spire 
contorted and depressed. 
4218. ‘‘Partula alternata Pse. var., Moorea, Marquesas.’’ (Moorea 
or Morea or Eimeo is one of the Society Islands, H. H. S.) Three 
specimens of a straw colored variety with obsolete strigations, and white 
at the suture; two are small and short, with a faint peripheral dark 
line ; the third is elongate, without the line, and without a parietal tooth. 
4219. ** Partula strigosa Pfr., Moorea.’’ Five specimens, all pale 
with oblique strigations ; one has traces of dark spiral bands. Included 
among the synonyms of P. safurais Pfr. in all Dr. Hartman’s cata- 
logues.
