SMITH: CATALOGUE OF GENUS PARTULA. 467 
amples were also sent by Mr. Layard. Aura Island is in the Santo 
Espirito Group, New Hebrides. 
4290. **Partula albescens MHartm. (type), Aura Isld., N. 
Hebrides.’’ A slip pasted on the back of the card has, in Mr. Layard’s 
handwriting: ‘‘Partula, No. 410, Aura Island, Malo Pass, Espirito 
Santo Isls., N. Hebrides. May be retained.’’ Four specimens. 
Type of Dr. Hartman’s description, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 
1888, p. 251, Pl. XIII, Fig. 4. Mr. Layard sent the same species 
from Sitova Island, as appears from the correspondence. 
Notes.—Partula eburnea Hartm., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 
1886, p. 33, Pl. Il, Fig. ro. This species is represented in the Hart- 
man collection only by two photographs mounted on cards. ‘The first 
(No. 4339) corresponds to the published figure and is marked ‘‘ type.”’ 
On the back of the card is written: ‘‘ Example returned to Dr. Cox.’’ 
Probably the example was returned to Mr. Brazier, as Dr. Hartman 
states, Joc. cift., that Brazier had sent the shells; in his MS. cata- 
logue the species is said to be in the ‘‘ collection of Mr. John Brazier, 
Sidney, Australia.’’ The other photograph (No. 4340) is of a smaller 
shell, marked ‘‘Partuda eburnea Hartm. Hab. ?’’ No doubt this also 
was returned to Brazier. 
Partula proxima Hartm., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1886, p. 34, 
Pl. Il, Fig. 11. This specimen is represented in the Hartman collec- 
tion only by two cards on each of which are photographs of two shells. 
One (No. 4337) is marked ‘‘Partula proxima Hartm., Vanua Levu, 
N. Hebrides.’’ The photographs are separated, and one of them, 
corresponding to the published figure, is marked ‘‘type.’’ On the 
back of the card is written: ‘‘ Returned to Dr. Cox.’’ The other 
(No. 4338) is marked ‘‘Partula proxima Hartm., Vanua Levu, Banks 
Islands.’’ On the back of the card is written: ‘‘ Photos from Coll., 
Cox, all returned.’’ In the description it is stated that the shells were 
received from Mr. Brazier, and in his MS. work Dr. Hartman credits 
the species to the collection of Mr. John Brazier, Sidney ; they may 
have been returned to Mr. Brazier through Dr. Cox. ‘The habitat is 
Vanua-lavu, Banks Islands. 
4291. ‘‘Partula glaber Hartm. (type), N. Hebrides?’’ One 
specimen, marked ‘‘ type example.’’ On the back of the card is writ- 
ten: ‘‘Coll. Pse.’’ Type of Dr. Hartman’s description and figure. 
Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1885, p. 205. Dr. Hartman observes: 
‘« This species was received among other shells as P. ¢urricula Pease
