SMITH: CATALOGUE OF GENUS PARTULA. 459 
No. 4255, agreeing in this respect with No. 4257. They vary con- 
siderably in size. 
4257. Partula recta Pse., varieties, Nukuhiwa and Mauui, Mar- 
quesas.’’ Nine specimens, varying greatly in size. All are smaller, 
shorter, more inflated and thinner than the typical recta, No. 4255, 
and the aperture is much broader; color pale brownish to whitish, 
sometimes a little darker on the the lower half of the body whorl. 
The examples of medium size agree well with a drawing by E. A. 
Smith of the (supposed) type of P. gonocheila Pfr. in the British 
Museum (No. 4345). Dr. Hartman noticed this resemblance (Proc. 
Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1885, pp. 219, 220) but remarks that the Brit- 
ish Museum examples do not agree with Reeve’s figure of gonochetla, 
which = ganymedes Pfr. 
4258. ‘‘Partula strigata Pse. (typical), Nukuhiwa and Mauui, Mar- 
quesas.’’ On the back of the card is written: ‘‘ This shell is only a 
dark var. of vecfa.’’ Four specimens, all castaneous or bay-brown, 
and varying somewhat in size and form. ‘Three of them approach the 
typical recta, No. 4255, in form, but are not so large and heavy; the 
other is shorter and more inflated, resembling in form some examples 
of No. 4257. In his first cataloge of Partula, 1881, Dr. Hartman 
makes P. s¢rigata a synonym of P. varia Brod., a Society Islands spe- 
cies (see No. 4274); in his later catalogues he treats it as a variety of 
Ee Kecta. 
4259. ‘‘Partula strigata Pse. = recta Pse. (yellow variety), Nuku- 
hiwa and Mauui, Marquesas.’’ Ten specimens, pale yellowish-brown 
or white, and corresponding closely to some of the larger specimens 
included under No. 4257. See note under No. 4274. 
Notre.—Partula repanda Pfr. ‘This species, said to be from New 
Hebrides, is not represented by specimens in the Hartman collection. 
There is a drawing by E. A. Smith of the type ~efanda in the British 
Museum (No. 4345). Mr. Garrett, who saw this drawing, remarked 
(February 25, 1883) that it resembled some forms of ¢fenzata. Dr. 
Hartman says (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1885, p. 220) that some 
of the light-colored varieties of vecfa in the Pease duplicates resemble 
repanda, but a comparison with the type vefanda in the British Museum 
proved them to be distinct. 
4260. ‘‘Partula actor Albers = seériva Gould, Samoa.’’ On the 
back of the card is written: ‘‘ These shells are from the Belcher expe- 
dition in voyage Sulphur which touched at Samoa.’’ Four specimens.
