SMITH: CATALOGUE OF GENUS PARTULA. 461 
his MS. catalogue, No. 116, where he gives the habitat as ‘‘ Woapo, 
Marquesas.’’ ‘Type of Dr. Hartman’s description and figure, Proc. 
Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1885, p. 203. It is stated that Mr. Garrett 
sent a similar shell from Dominique to the Museum Godeffroy. 
4265. ‘‘Partula decussatula Pfr. (type) (typical, H. H. S.), 
Dominique, Marquesas.’’ ‘Twelve specimens, varying in size. Most 
of them are somewhat pellucid, with only traces of a peripheral line ; 
but three large ones and one smaller are subopaque, white at the 
suture, and on two of these the peripheral band is well marked ; they 
look like miniature examples of P. ganymedes, No. 4251. Mr. 
Garrett wrote (Sept. 5, 1882), that he had sent specimens of P. 
decussatula to Mr. Taylor, who had them examined in London ; they 
were identified with gonocherla Pfr. He repeats this statement in 
another letter, Feb. 12, 1883. With the Hartman collection there is 
a drawing, by E. A. Smith, of the type decussatula in the British 
Museum (No. 4345). Mr. Smith wrote underneath the drawing : 
“« Differs from gonocheila (Brit. Mus.) in spire being shorter, lips less 
reflexed and extremities more converging— mouth large.’’ Mr. 
Garrett, after seeing this drawing, wrote (Nov. 25, 1883): ‘‘ The 
drawing of decussatula proves the correctness of your determination 
of that species. The figure is much better than Reeve’s.’’ Perhaps 
Garrett himself collected these shells and sent them to Dr. Hartman, 
who determined them ; in the Garrett MS. catalogue, No. 114, which 
he collected at Dominique, is unidentified. 
4266. ‘‘Partula rosea Brod., Huaheine.’’ ‘Twelve specimens, 
varying in form from elongate to subobese. Four are rosy (one with 
an obscure yellow peripheral band) ; one is rosy with the lower part of 
the body whorl yellow ; two are purple-brown, shining, with a yellow 
band (= esta/tiana Garr. MS., No. 4271); one is entirely cinereous 
brown ; one is short, purple-brown with a broad yellow band; one is 
salmon colored with a broad yellow band; two are shining reddish, 
and one of these has a yellow band. 
4267. ‘‘Partula rosea Brod. (abnormal), Huaheine.’’ One speci- 
men of the purpurascens variety, with the body whorl and lip distorted 
around the umbilicus. 
4268. ‘‘Partula purpurascens Pfr., Huaheine.’’ Seven specimens, 
dark purplish-brown, sometimes with a reddish spire, interior purple, 
lip hlac-tinted. P. purpurascens is treated as a variety or synonym 
of P. rosea in all Dr. Hartman’s catalogues.
