4269. ‘‘Partula cognata Pse. MS., Huaheine.’’ Four specimens 
on one card. The two central ones are orange or yellow, shining, 
obscurely banded and with a purple spire ; these appear to be the var. 
cognata. ‘The one on the left, with ‘‘ vosea’’ marked underneath, is 
the same as P. purpurascens, No. 4268. ‘The smaller one on the 
right, with ‘‘ vavza’’ marked underneath, is the same as P. varza Brod., 
No. 4273, though the mouth is unusually small for that species. Pos- 
sibly the card indicates that Dr. Hartman suspected cogvazta to be a 
hybrid between rosea and_vavia. The two central shells are like 
rosea in size and form, but resemble varza in color. P. cognata, how- 
ever, is given as a synonym of P. vosea in all Dr. Hartman’s catalogues 
and in the MS. catalogue of Garrett. 
4270. ‘‘Partula cognata Pse. MS. (typical), Huaheine.’’ Eight 
specimens, all somewhat shining. One is elongate, white, purple at 
the sutures ; one is unicolored, yellow ; three are yellow, orange at the 
suture and on the lower part of the body whorl, the color appearing on 
the lip; three are yellow, purple at the suture and on the lower part of 
the body whorl and lip (= esta/tana Garr. MS., No. 4271). 
4271. ‘‘Partula estalliana Garr. MS., southeast part of Huaheine.’’ 
Fourteen specimens, three of which are albinos; the others are either 
purple or orange, with a broad pale or yellow band, which appears on 
the upper part of the lip. These shells do not essentially differ from 
most of the examples included under No. 4270. The name does not 
appear in Dr. Hartman’s published catalogues, but in his MS. work it 
is given as a synonym of /. rosea Brod. No doubt the specimens 
were received from Mr. Garrett. 
4272. Partula calypso Semp. ‘‘P. ¢hetis O. Semp., Peleliu, Mus. 
Godeffroy.’’ One specimen. Dr. Hartman considered this a syno- 
nym of P. calypso O. Semp., from the same island. See Proc. Acad. 
Nat. Sc. Phila., 1885, p. 218. In his MS. work he remarks that the 
species is an aberrant form of Partu/a ; he places it provisionally after 
P. rosea. The shells were collected by Semper on Pililu, one of the 
Pelew Islands. In his MS. work Dr. Hartman erroneously states that 
it is one of the Samoan Group. 
4273. ‘‘Partula varia Brod., Huaheine.’’ Fourteen specimens. 
One is whitish ( = No. 4274); two are pale with a purple spire, 
approaching P. dzcolor Garr. MS. No. 4275 ; one is chestnut-colored 
( = mucida Pfr., No. 4278 ); one is small, brown (= fulchra Pse., 
No. 4280 ) ; seven are yellow with a dark spire and variously banded
