470 ANNALS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. 
Partula abbreviata Mouss. Not represented by specimens in the 
Hartman collection. There is a water-color drawing by E. A. Smith 
of the type example in the British Museum (No. 4345). The form, 
as shown in this drawing, leads to the suspicion that it may be an ab- 
normal example. ‘The shell is said to be from Tutuila, and was col- 
lected by Graffe. 
4299. ‘* Partula conica Gould, Upolu, Mus. Godeff.’’ Six speci- 
mens, two immature, of the dextral variety. All are dead shells 
and only one adult has the epidermis tolerably well preserved. 
4300. ‘‘ Partula canalis Mouss., = conica Gld., Upolu, Mus. 
Godeff.’’ Five specimens, two dark and three light brown. Dr. 
Hartman followed Gould in uniting this sinistral shell with the 
dextral P. conica. Others regarded them as distinct. Garrett, who 
was of this opinion, pointed out that conica is smaller and covered 
with fine incised revolving lines, which, in P. cavadis, are seen only 
on the apex and close to the umbilicus (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 
1887, pp. 11 and 12). ‘This observation is confirmed by the speci- 
mens in the Hartman collection. Both forms are found on Upolu 
and Tutuila, and Dr. Hartman mentions other islands in Proc. Acad. 
Nat./Se:, 1685, p. 222°. 
4301.°* Partula canalis Mouss., var. semzlineata, Tutuila, Mus. 
Godeff.’’ Three specimens, pale yellowish with a white, translucent 
spire. One shows the incised revolving lines of P. conica, but they 
are finer and not so distinct. 
Nore. — Partula bulimoides Less., said to be from New Guinea. 
Not represented in the Hartman collection. In his first Catalogue of 
Partula, 1881, he refers P. conica to this species ; subsequently he 
was inclined to regard it as distinct. In his MS. work he remarks : 
‘«This shell has never been identified by conchologists. Lesson’s 
brief diagnosis may apply to some varieties of conica as well as faba. 
His measurements of the shell, and the locality, require that it should 
be kept separate.”’ 
4302. Partula macgillivrayi Pfr. ‘‘Partula turneri Pfr., Tauua, New 
Hebrides, Coll., Geale.’’ Four specimens, three light brownish and one 
yellowish like No. 4303, all with more or less obvious oblique striga- 
tions. Dr. Hartman, in all his catalogues, treats P. turnert as a 
synonym of PP. macgiliivrayi. Mr. Cox, 1n memoranda written 
about 1881, says: ‘*P macgillivrayi Pfr. is from Aneitum, N. 
Hebrides.’’ ‘‘ P. turnert Pfr. is from Erromango, N. Hebrides.’’
