448 ANNALS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. 
4220. ‘* Partula ornata Anth’y MS., Moorea.’’ Five specimens, 
all pale, conspicuously strigate with brown; one has faint traces of 
spiral bands. Evidently a variety of P. str7gosa Pfr.,= saturalis, var.; 
but the MS. name does not occur in Dr. Hartman’s catalogues. 
4221. ‘‘Partula mooreana W. D. Hartman (type), Moorea Isl., 
Marguesas’’ (not ‘‘ Marguesas,’’ but Society Islands, H. H.S.). Nine 
specimens, three of which are banded. ‘The types used by Dr. Hart- 
man for his description of the species, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 
1880, p. 229. A figure of the species was published by Garrett, 
Journ. Acad?’ Nat..Sc. Phila:, IX, PL Til; “Fig: 55. he habitat 
given by Dr. Hartman in his MS. catalogue is ‘‘ Vaianassa Valley, 
Moorea.’’ In his original description he states that the shell is from 
the Vaianai Valley, but this is distinctly contradicted by a letter from 
Mr. Garrett, Feb. 10, 1879: ‘‘ The complete peristome and well de- 
veloped parietal tooth prove the reversed Moorea Partula to be full 
grown. Your suggestion in regard to its being a hybrid is more to the 
point, and when I first discovered it I nearly came to the same conclu- 
sion. The vexz/lum (= suturalis Pfr.), elongata and simulans (te- 
niata vars. ) were found associated ina valley (elsewhere stated to be the 
Vaianai Valley) two miles north of the habitat of the reversed species, 
and I did not notice a single hybrid between the former and the two 
latter. We must also take into consideration that sinistral vex7//um are 
very rare as compared with the dextral forms ; and the specimens under 
consideration are a// reversed and very uniform in color and fasciation. 
Without positive proof I can not see how it can be considered a hybrid.”’ 
4222. ‘‘ Partula producta Pse. (type) (typical, H. H. S.), Tahiti, 
Coll. Pse.’’ Seven specimens, variously banded; in one the bands 
coalesce, so that the entire shell is dark chestnut colored. 
4223. ‘‘ Partula teniata Mérch, Moorea.’’ Fourteen specimens, 
all banded, but some very faintly. In Dr. Hartman’s catalogue of the 
Genus Partula, 1881, ¢enzata and its varieties are given as synonyms 
of sfadicea Rve.; in later catalogues the preference is given to ¢@- 
niata. Writing Feb. 10, 1879, Mr. Garrett says: ‘‘Pfeiffer copied 
Morch’s description (of ¢enzta), which does nct harmonize as well 
as I could wish with the Moorea shell. His ‘‘¢ransversim irregulator 
plicata’’ may possibly refer to the longitudinal lines of growth, and his 
‘*fongitudinator strits undulatts’’ expresses the spiral incised lines. 
Mr. Pease excluded s¢enzata (from his list of Polynesian land shells, 
Proc. Zodl. Soc., Lond., 1871) on the supposition that it was a Viti 
?
