 Hab. All the Islands (Baldwin). 



In conclusion I may call attention to three species, attributed to the Islands, which 

 do not really belong to their fauna. 



Partiila terrestris Pease. Apparently a manuscript name ; it has appeared in 

 Paetel's 'Catalog' and in the Mon. Helic. Viv. (Vol. viii. p. 209) with the 

 habitat of 'I. Sandwich.' According to Dr Hartman, it is a synonym of 

 P. approximans Pease, from Raiatea. 



Spiraxis sandwicensis was described by Pfeiffer (P. Zool. Soc. London, 1856, 

 P- 335) ^s from the Hawaiian Islands. It appears to me to be a form of the 

 Btilimus lactijiuus of Pfeiffer, described from Chili, and I feel no doubt the 

 Hawaiian habitat is erroneous. 



Btilimus kauaiensis was described by Pfeiffer in the same volume (p. 332). It is 

 probably also Chilian and very close to Bulimus albicans Brod. ; but I am not 

 quite sure of the identity, as the shell is slightly more succineiform. 



Finally, it may be noted that a specimen of Viviparus chinensis Gray, doubtless 

 imported for food, was collected by Mr Perkins at "Wailuku," Maui.
