species, as mentioned by Mérch. No doubt the Cumingian collection 
has the Moorea shell under Mérch’s name.’’ Mr. Pease wrote to Gar- 
rett, Apr. 21, 1870: ‘‘P. ¢entata Morch, though credited to the 
Fijis, does not belong there, as Mérch writes me’’ (letter from Garrett 
to Dr. Hartman, March 15, 1882). Hartman (Proc. Acad. Nat. 
Sc. Phila., 1885, p. 215) observes: ‘‘ MGrch’s habitat, 7277 Js/es, for 
teniata, is probably an error, as his examples were purchased of a 
whale fisher.’” In one of Mr. Garrett’s letters to Dr. Hartman 
(March 15, 1882,) he says: ‘‘I send you three examples of a 
Moorea Partu/a which agrees well with P. ¢enzata in having the 
white bands.’’ 
4224. ‘‘Partula simulans Pse. (type) (typical, H. H. S.), Coll. Pse., 
Moorea.’’ ‘Twelve specimens. ‘They agree in form and size with P. 
teniata (No. 4223), but only one is banded, the others being uniform 
brownish or pale, in some examples with obsolete strigations ; perhaps 
the banded specimen was included for comparison. ‘The name is in- 
cluded asa variety of P. ¢eniata in Dr. Hartman’s published cata- 
logues, but it was omitted, no doubt by an oversight, from his MS. 
work. Mr. Garrett wrote, Feb. 10, 1879: ‘‘ Carpenter considered 
simulans to be a variety of ¢enzata. I suppose Mr. Pease wrote to 
Mr. MGrch in regard to the shell and from his reply was convinced 
that it could not be semz/ans, so he published it as new. In his list of 
Polynesian shells (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1871) he neither records 
it nor refers it to any other species.’’ Mr. Garrett observes that it was 
found in a valley, associated with e/ongata and vexillum (= suturalis 
Pfr. ). 
4225. ‘* Partula simulans Pse., Moorea.’’ Four specimens, two 
light brown and the others white with faint spiral bands. 
4226. ‘* Partula simulans Pse., Moorea (Garr. dat.).’’ Two 
specimens of an elongate, tapering, thin form, approaching P. elongata ; 
one is white and the other light brown from oblique strigations. The 
latter may be an immature form of the variety or hybrid, P. s¢rvzolata 
Bseve(Nos.4223.). 
4227. ‘* Partula spadicea Rve., Eimeo, Moorea.’’ Fourteen speci- 
mens, all white or very pale brownish, in form approaching the 
typical ¢enzata but generally shorter. This is united with senzata 
in all Dr. Hartman’s catalogues. See No. 4348. 
It appears that Pease, Cox and others referred one of the white 
Solomon Island shells to spadicea. In memoranda which Dr. Cox
