SMITH: CATALOGUE OF GENUS PARTULA. 465 
4283. ‘‘Partula virgulata Pse., Rarotonga Island (Coll. Pse.).’’ 
Seven specimens, all light sulphur yellow, sometimes with the apex 
purple. ‘The species is hardly distinguishable from P. asszmilis Pse., 
but is treated as valid in all Dr. Hartman’s published catalogues. The 
name vrgu/ata does not appear in Garrett’s MS. catalogue, though he 
states that he collected P. asszmzfis on Rarotonga. In Dr. Hartman’s 
MS. work the species is entered, but a blank is left for the description, 
perhaps indicating that he doubted its validity or was not certain that 
his specimens were really P. vzrgulata. 
4284. ‘*Partula subgonocheila Mouss., Fortuna, Friendly Isls.’’ 
On the back of the card is written ‘‘ Capt. Brazier datum.’’ Four 
specimens. The habitat given for this species in Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. 
Phila., 1885, p. 219, is ‘‘ Fortuna and Vavao Islands.’’ Vavao, or 
Vavau, is a small island in the northern part of the Tonga or Friendly 
Islands group ; Fortuna does not appear on the maps. Garrett, in his 
MS. catalogue, gives ‘‘ Tutuila (Graffe).’’ Perhaps Fortuna is a local- 
ity on Vavao Island. 
4285. ‘* Partula subgonocheila Mouss., ‘Tutuila.’’ Four  speci- 
mens, one immature, two probably dead shells, and the fourth in 
rather poor condition. These shells are considerably smaller than No. 
4284, and, as far as can be judged, the lip is orange-tinted, that of 
No. 4284 being white. It is doubtful if they are of the same species. 
It is perhaps significant that, in his MS. work, Dr. Hartman has left a 
blank for the description of this species, as he has for several others. 
The locality given on the label is also very doubtful ; neither swégono- 
cheila nor any shell similar to it is recorded from Tutuila by later col- 
lectors. The card and the label appear to be older than those of No. 
4284. 
4286. ‘* Partula caledonica Pfr., Sandwich Island = Vate, Havanna 
Harbour, N. Hebrides.’’ Seven specimens. In Proc. Acad. Nat. 
Sc. Phila., 1885, p. 222, the habitat given for this species is ‘* Vavua, 
Tavu, Banks Island, N. Hebrides.’’ In his MS. work Dr. Hartman 
changes this, in accordance with a correction by Mr. Layard, to 
“* Vanua-lavu, Banks Islands.’’ 
4287. ‘‘Partula caledonica Pfr., Vate or Efate Island or Sandwich 
Island, N. Hebrides.’’ On the back of the card, lightly written in 
pencil, is ‘* pyramis?’’ Two specimens, one immature, and the other 
nearly denuded of epidermis. A photograph of two shells is 
attached to the same card; one of these seems to be the immature
