458 ANNALS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. 
Mr. Garrett, in his MS. catalogue, gives the habitats ‘* Dominique 
and Taiwate Islands, Marquesas,’’ and states that he had collected it. 
In a letter, November 24, 1879, he observes: ‘‘ When Pfeiffer de- 
scribed P. ganymedes in Proc. Zod]. Soc., p. 39, 1846, he recorded it 
as from the Society Islands. It was brought to Tahiti by the mis- 
sionaries.”’ 
4252. ‘* Partula ganymedes Pfr., Dominique, Marquesas.’’ Seven 
specimens. Two are of the typical variety (No. 4251); two are 
smaller, brown on the basal half of the body whorl ; two are still 
smaller and brown except a narrow white band below the suture ; one 
is entirely white. 
4253. ‘* Partula ganymedes Pfr. var., Dominique, Marquesas, Coll. 
Geale.’’ Six specimens, varying in size. Three are brown with a 
white band below the suture, and in one of them the body whorl is 
angulated ; two are pale cinereous brown with the upper part of the 
body whorl white ; one is pale with a narrow peripheral band. 
4254. ‘** Partula fasciata Pse., Dominique, Marquesas.’’ Eight 
specimens. Smaller than the typical gaxymedes, white with a narrow 
peripheral band, or with the lower part of the body whorl brown or 
ashy, the band obscurely visible on the darker ground. P. fasciata is 
treated as a variety of P. ganymedes in all Dr. Hartman's catalogues. 
Nove.—Partula gonocheila Pfr. This doubtful species, said to be 
from the Navigator Islands, is not represented by specimens in the 
Hartman collection. There is a drawing of the (supposed) type in 
British Museum, by E. A. Smith (No. 4345). Mr. Garrett, who saw 
this drawing, wrote: ‘‘ gonocheila is undoubtedly a Marquesas species, 
and has no resemblance to Reeve’s figure, and differs entirely from 
any form of ganymedes.’’ See notes under Nos. 4257 and 4265, and 
Dr. Hartman’s observations, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phil., 1885, pp. 
219, 220. Garrett does not mention the species in his paper on the 
terrestrial mollusca of the Navigator Islands. 
4255. ‘*Partula recta Pse. (typical), Mauui and Nukuhiwa, Mar- 
? 
quesas.’’ On the back of the card is written: ‘‘ These are exactly 
like the Pease types.’’ Four specimens, one with two embryonic 
shells in the mouth. The examples are pale brown to whitish, and are 
larger and thicker than the other varieties referred to P. recta. 
4256. ‘‘Partula recta Pse. (white var., typical), Mauui and Nuku- 
hiwa, Marquesas, Coll. Pse.’’ Eight specimens, all white. They 
are smaller, shorter, more glabrous and thinner than the typical recéa,
