4278. ‘‘Partula mucida Pfr.(typical). Huaheine.’’ Five specimens 
of a dark chestnut-colored shell, more elongate than the typical varia, 
No. 4273, or the vars. Nos. 4274-4276; the mouth is narrower and 
the lip more developed. Compare No. 4279. P. mucida is placed 
among the synonyms of va7za in all Dr. Hartman’s catalogues. With 
the collection there is a water-color drawing by E. A. Smith of the 
type mucida in the British Museum (No. 4345). Mr. Garrett, who 
saw this drawing, agreed with Dr. Hartman that it was a variety of 
varia (letter, Nov. 25, 1883). 
4279. ‘‘Partula huahetnensts Garr. MS., Huaheine, Coll. Garr.’’ 
Ten specimens. Four are dark chestnut colored, approaching P. 
mucida Pfr., No. 4278, but smaller; four are yellow, one dark on the 
spire ; two are yellow obscurely banded. In size the average is less 
than that of most of the varieties of P. varia, but greater than P. 
pulchra Pse., No. 4280. In his MS. catalogue, Mr. Garrett makes 
this a synonym of pulchra, which he later regarded as a variety of 
varia. P. huaheinensis is given among the synonyms of P. varza in 
all Dr. Hartman’s catalogues. 
4280. ‘‘Partula pulchra Pse. (typical), Huaheine, Coll. Pse.’’ 
Seven specimens. Four are dark castaneous and three yellowish. The 
smallest of the varieties referred to P. varia (see No. 4279). ‘This is 
P. varia var. pulchra Pse., Proc. Zo6l. Soc. Lond:, 1371, p: 473." Its 
included among the synonyms of va7vzainall Dr. Hartman’s catalogues. 
Nore. — Partula newcombianum Hartm., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. 
Phila., 1886, pp. 34, 35, Pl. Il, Fig. 13: “This species is represented 
in the Hartman collection only by two photographs mounted on cards 
(Nos. 4335 and 4336). One (No. 4336), marked ‘‘type’’, is the 
original of the figure; on the back of the card is written: ‘‘ The 
vessel was lost in which the example was returned and the type is 
lost.’’ Presumably the type example was to have been returned to 
Mr. Layard, but there is no mention of the loss in the existing Layard 
letters. The other photograph (No. 4335) is so different as to sug- 
gest a doubt whether the label is correct. 
4281. ‘‘Partula assimilis Pse., Rarotonga Island (Coll. Pse.).’’ 
Eight specimens. In his MS. catalogue Garrett states that he col- 
lected the species on Rarotonga, presumably before he sold his collec- 
tion to Pease. See No. 4330. 
4282. ‘‘Partula cookiana Mouss MS.,=assimil’s, Rarotonga Island.’’ 
Five specimens, rather smaller than those included under No. 4281.
