The  description  of  Orthurethrous  snails  is  continued  in  this 
volume,  the  remaining  groups  of  Ferussacidcs  and  the  Partu- 
lidcs  being  described.  In  treating  of  the  latter  family,  the 
author  has  had  the  advantage  of  studying  the  types  and  other 
specimens  of  the  late  Dr.  W.  D.  Hartman,  now  forming  part 
of  the  collection  of  the  Carnegie  Museum  at  Pittsburgh.  The 
conclusions  reached  in  the  monograph  now  published  have 
thus  been  based  upon  the  material  of  two  large  collections. 
The  liberality  and  courtesy  of  the  Trustees  of  the  Museum 
and  of  the  Director,  Dr.  William  J.  Holland,  are  here  grate- 
fully acknowledged.

INTRODUCTION. 


About  ten  years  ago  the  writer  pointed  out  the  existence 
of  three  great  groups  in  the  monotremate  land  snails,  based 
upon  the  structure  of  the  pallial  organs:  SIGMURETHRA, 
HETERURETHRA  and  ORTHURETHRA.  The  first  group  includes 
a  very  large  majority  of  the  land  snails  now  existing,  which 
have  been  described  in  volumes  I  to  XVIII  of  this  work. 
The  Heterurethra  are  chiefly  represented  by  the  genus  Suc- 
cinea.  Finally  the  group  Orthurethra  is  made  up  of  a  series 
of  families  which  retain  primitive  pallial  structures  like  the 
Basommatophora.  They  are  the  scattered  descendants  of 
snails  of  long  ago — of  the  first  land-snail  fauna.  With  the 
rise  of  the  Sigmurethra,  these  primitive  snails  declined.  On 
the  continents  they  take  a  minor  role,  and  seem  to  exist  by 
grace  of  their  insignificance  (Pupillidce,  Valloniidce,  Ferus- 
sacidce),  though  one  family,  the  Enidce,  contains  snails  of 
moderate  size.  On  the  Pacific  islands,  where  the  Sigmurethra 
are  represented  by  only  a  few  low  forms,  Orthurethra  are 
still  dominant.  In  this  island  world  the  Partulidce,  Amastrida, 
Achatinellidce  and  Tornatellinidtf  comprise  the  most  con- 
spicuous elements  of  the  snail-fauna. 

The  following  families  are  now  comprised  in  the  group 
Orthurethra :

The  shell  is  imperforate,  very  small  and  slender,  very 
narrowly  lanceolate,  with  obtuse,  rounded,  smooth  apex; 
smooth,  fragile,  transparent  (weathering  to  opaque  white); 
aperture  usually  less  than  half  the  total  length,  piriform;  outer 
lip  arching  forward  in  the  middle,  acute;  columella  concave, 
more  or  less  distinctly  truncate  at  base,  usually  somewhat

calloused.  Animal  blind,  or  at  least  without  pigmented  eyes. 
Jaw  composed  of  many  narrow  plaits.  Radula  with  11,  1,  11 
teeth  in  C.  acicula,  18,  1,  18  in  C.  gundlachi,  the  central  tooth 
much  smaller  than  the  laterals,  with  a  tricuspid  reflection. 
Laterals  symmetrical,  tricuspid.  Marginal  teeth  low,  wide, 
with  two  low,  denticulate  cusps.  The  genitalia,  as  figured  by 
Lehmann  for  C.  acicula  (pi.  15,  fig.  1)  have  the  duct  of  the 
spermatheca  very  short.  An  appendix,  enlarged  at  the  end,  is 
terminal  on  the  penis.  There  is  also  a  short  accessory  organ 
anteriorly  on  the  penis. 

Type  C.  acicula  Miill.  Distribution,  Europe  and  most  tropi- 
cal and  subtropical  countries. 

An  excellent  account  of  Csecilioides  acicula  has  been  given  by 
Mr.  L.  E.  Adams,  as  follows:  " Methods  of  Progression. — Usually 
the  shell  is  dragged  along  the  ground  after  the  animal,  though 
more  rarely  it  is  lifted  to  a  horizontal  position  (pi.  1,  fig.  6). 
On  two  occasions  I  observed  the  animal  protrude  its  head  under 
the  shell  towards  the  spire  and  progress  in  that  direction,  forc- 
ing the  shell  along  the  ground  in  front  of  it,  apex  first,  and  then 
lift  the  shell  over  its  head  at  an  angle  of  about  45  degrees,  and 
continue  its  march  in  that  position  (fig.  5).  The  progressk n 
is  always  by  slow  jerks,  and  not  a  continuous  glide.  I  have 
not  observed  the  shell  carried  in  the  position  of  Jeffrey's  figure 
(British  Conchology,  Vol.  I,  pi.  7,  fig.  18),  though  Nilsson 
says  '  the  animal  sometimes  carries  its  shell  erect,  but  generally 
drags  it  along  depressed.' 

"  Texture  and  Form  of  the  Animal. — I  was  much  struck  with 
the  extremely  flexible  and  elastic  nature  of  the  animal.  I  have 
observed  one  emerge  from  the  shell  as  it  lay  flat,  on  a  hori- 
zontal surface,  and  make  a  complete  circle  with  its  head  and 
tail,  without  moving  the  shell.  It  is  also  remarkable  how  far 
the  animal  will  protrude  from  the  shell,  and  how  slender  an 
attachment  connects  the  head  and  foot  with  the  part  within  the 
shell.  The  end  of  the  tail  is  often  curled  up.  Along  the  neck 
and  down  the  front  of  the  head  are  two  mucus  sulcations  on 
cither  side  of  the  dorsal  line  (pi.  1,  fig.  8).  The  tail  is  pointed 
and  sharply  carinated;  from  the  dorsal  ridge  mucus  sulcations 
descend  to  the  lower  edge  (fig.  7).

"  Eyes  and  Tentacles. — Jeffreys'  enlarged  figure  (Brit.  Conch., 
Vol.  I,  pi.  7,  fig.  19)  is  not  quite  accurate.  He  seems  to  have 
taken  his  description  from  Nilsson,  and  it  may  be  doubted 
whether  Jeffreys  himself  examined  the  animal  with  sufficient 
care.  Nilsson  had  evidently  studied  the  animal,  but  he  was 
not  correct  in  describing  the  upper  tentacles  as  '  not  thickened.' 
In  all  the  specimens  that  I  have  observed  the  upper  tentacles 
are  certainly  slightly  bulbous  when  fully  or  nearly  fully  ex- 
tended, though  this  does  not  appear  when  they  are  only  slightly 
protruded.  Nilsson,  however,  correctly  remarks  that  the  apices 
of  the  upper  tentacles  are  not  'marked  with  a  black  spot.' 
Now  Lamarck  (to  whom  Nilsson  refers)  seems  to  have  been  the 
only  one  to  observe  the  colorless  eyeball,  and  he  did  not  recog- 
nize them  as  such.  Nilsson  says  (quoting  Lamarck)  "In  this 
species  no  eyes  indeed  are  exposed,  unless  they  are  white,  like 
the  tentacles  themselves.  These,  indeed,  are  terminated  by  a 
convex  surface,  very  smooth,  very  shiny,  surrounded  by  a 
slightly  impressed  ring;  which  surface  doubtless  answers  to  the 
eye  of  other  terrestrial  mollusks.  But  this  animal,  probably 
because  it  lives  underground,  where  it  cannot  use  eyes,  appears 
to  us  plainly  to  lack  eyes.'  Now  I  have  noticed  that  these 
peculiar  convex  endings  with  a  constricting  ring  are  in  fact  eye- 
balls, and  also  that  they  are  retractile,  but  whether  they  have 
retained  the  power  of  sight  in  spite  of  their  loss  of  pigment,  I 
am  not  prepared  to  say  (see  fig.  8>.  As  far  as  my  observation 
goes,  the  animal  is  insensible  to  light,  though  it  will  crawl 
straight  away  to  a  heap  of  moss;  the  direction,  however,  may 
be  determined  by  scent  alone.  If  it  is  deficient  in  sight  it  cer- 
tainly  uses  its  tentacles  to  all  appearance  in  the  same  manner  as 
its  more  favored  brethren.  I  may  mention  in  this  connection 
that  an  albino  specimen  of  Limax  maximus,  whose  eyeballs  were 
also  destitute  of  pigment,  seems  to  act  in  a  perfectly  normal 
manner.  Though  my  observations  on  this  point  (Journal  of 
Conch. ,  Vol.  9,  p.  24)  tend  to  show  that  this  species  is  lacking 
in  sight,  I  am  not  aware  to  what  degree  of  perfection  the  vision 
of  terrestrial  mollusks  attains,  but  I  have  noticed  that  Cydostoma 
elegans  and  Helix  pomatia  seem  sensitive  to  the  approach  of  a 
large  object."  (Lionel  E.  Adams  in  The  Journal  of  Conchol- 
Vol.  9,  p.  207.) 


4  (LECILIOIDES. 

Caecilioides  is  well  known  to  inhabit  graves.  Gaudry  found 
them  in  lacrymatories  unearthed  from  Grecian  tumuli.  Rev. 
H.  Housman  records  that  near  Chichester  in  "an  early  British 
burying-ground  many  skeletons  were  found.  The  bones,  which 
lay  about  three  feet  below  the  surface  were  infested  with  A. 
odeida"  (Journ.  of  Conch,  iii,  1882,  p.  317).  In  North- 
amptonshire Messrs.  Wright  and  Adams  found  C<zcilioi,des 
abundant  to  a  depth  of  4^  ft. ,  in  a  place  where  skeletons  of  men 
and  horses  have  occasionally  been  discovered  (J.  of  C.  viii, 
1897,  p.  395).  J.  W.  Horsley  reports  them  similarly  from  a 
Saxon  cemetery  near  Witney  (J.  of  C.  ix,  164);  and  in  Germany 
Professor  von  Martens  has  recorded  the  presence  of  a  great  num- 
ber of  large  fresh  specimens  in  a  human  skull  dug  up  at  Bern- 
burg  (Nachrbl.  d.  Mai.  Ges.  1883,  p.  60). 

Definite  information  upon  the  food  of  Caecilioides  is  wanting, 
but  they  probably  feed  upon  vegetable  matter,  such  as  subter- 
ranean fungi  or  possibly  fine  rootlets. 

The  European  species  of  Ceedlioides  have  no  doubt  been  multi- 
plied beyond  reason,  yet  without  a  critical  study  of  the  types 
it  is  impossible  to  say  how  many  recognizable  races  exist.  M. 
Bourguignat  and  his  friends  had  an  agreeable  custom  of  describ- 
ing "species"  from  single  selected  specimens,  ignoring  connect- 
ing forms.  Published  figures  of  shells  they  had  never  seen 
occasionally  served  as  a  basis  for  supposed  new  species;  so  that 
in  the  identification  of  real  shells  there  is  some  excuse  for  pass- 
ing over  much  work  of  these  authors  with  a  light  heart  and 
careless  eye.  I  have  neither  the  time  nor  type-material  to  at- 
tempt a  critical  revision  of  these  forms.  It  is  a  work  which 
properly  belongs  to  some  European  student  who  will  make  a 
study  of  the  local  races,  of  the  significance  of  variations,  whether 
individual  or  racial,  and  finally  he  must  study  Bourguignat's 
types.  This  work  demands  great  application  and  large  series 
of  the  shells,  unprejudiced  by  selection  or  determination.  I 
have  been  able  to  do  little  more  than  give  an  account  as  full  as 
the  original  sources  admit.  The  American  forms  are  treated 
more  fully,  my  material  being  ample,  and  the  literature  less 
overloaded. 

The  generic  name  has  been  variously  spelled,  but  the  earliest

valid  form  is  undoubtedly  Csecilioides,  in  reference  to  the  blind- 
ness of  these  tiny  subterranean  snails.  Aciculina  of  Wester- 
lund  is  an  absolute  synonym  of  Cxcifioides,  having  for  type  the 
same  species,  C.  acicula. 

Csecilioides  occurs  in  typical  species  in  the  Miocene  and  Plio- 
cene, the  following  species  being  known.  All  were  described 
under  the  name  Csecilianella.

According  to  Wollaston,  this  species  differs  from  C.  acicula 
by  being  smaller,  narrower,  thinner,  paler,  more  highly  polished 
and  more  transparent;  its  spire,  which  has  a  volution  less,  is 
shorter  and  a  little  more  obtuse  at  the  apex,  its  suture  is  less 
oblique,  its  columella  is  relatively  somewhat  longer  and 
etraighter,  and  more  flexuous,  and  its  entire  outline  is  both 
narrower  and  more  fusiform.

Achatina  eulima  LOWE,  P.  Z.  S.  1854,  p.  201. — WOLLASTON, 
Testacea  Atlantica  1878,  p.  244. 

"The  most  important  feature  which  separates  the  A.  eulima 
from  the  acicula  consists  in  the  presence  of  a  conspicuous  medial 
plait  on  its  ventral  paries ;  but  it  has  other  characteristics  also 
which  combine  to  separate  it  from  that  species.  Thus  it  is  not 
only  longer,  more  cylindric,  and  proportionately  still  slenderer, 
with  a  tendency  to  be  obsoletely  bent  (as  in  the  marine  genus 
Eulima'),  but  its  whorls  (particularly  the  intermediate  ones) 
are  altogether  more  lengthened-out  and  flattened,  and  its  aper- 
ture is  relatively  a  little  shorter,  as  well  as  broader  (and  more 
rounded)  posteriorly,  the  basal  margin  being  more  obtusely 
arcuate,  and  merging  almost  without  an  intervening  angle  into 
the  columella,  which  is  narrower  gradually  (and  is  not  abruptly 
truncate)  behind.  The  suture  is  exceedingly  oblique,  and  its 
surface  is  of  a  hyaline  white."  (Wollaston). 

This  species  apparently  belongs  to  the  section  Rhaphidiella  of 
Maltzan.  See  species  No.  6.

turns  of  the  suture.  The  suture  is  distinctly  marginate.  The 
outer  lip  is  strongly  convex  in  profile  view,  the  greatest  con-

This  species  is  distinguished  from  C.  acicula  by  the  irregular 
increase  of  its  whorls,  the  antepenultimate  or  penultimate  sud- 
denly widening  more  rapidly  than  those  before,  and  by  the 
narrow,  subvertical  truncation  of  the  columella,  that  of  acicula 
being  wider  and  more  approaching  horizontal.  The  species  of 
Bourguignat  was  based  solely  upon  Albers'  account;  and  the 
latter,  in  my  opinion,  applies  to  this  form  rather  than  to  the 
real  C.  acicula.  Bourguignat  had  not  actually  seen  the 
Madeiran  shell. 

The  Sicilian  C.  actoniana,  rizzeana  and  petitiana  are  apparently 
identical  specifically  with  nyctelia, — or  at  all  events,  there  seems 
to  be  no  difference  in  the  shells.  How  many  other  of  the 
"species  "  are  really  the  same  I  do  not  know.  Fig.  32  repre-

Gwyn  Jeffreys'  description  of  this  common  species  is  given. 
It  seems  to  be  a  rather  variable  form,  but  the  limits  of  variation 
in  this  group  are  little  understood.  A  large  proportion  of  the 
specimens  in  collections  are  from  drift  debris  of  rivers,  hence 
forms  from  various  colonies  and  diverse  stations  are  mingled  in 
unwonted  company.  Such  lots  are  misleading  in  the  study  of 
variation. 

Var.  elongata  Locard.     Of  a  slimmer,  more  lengthened  form. 

Var.  ventricosa  Locard.  Of  the  same  size  (not  over  4.5  mm. 
long),  but  the  shape  is  a  little  more  ventricose,  more  swollen  at 
the  base  (Locard,  Conchyliologie  Portugaise,  in  Archives  du

a  more  or  less  obsolete  tubercular  prominence  at  the  insertion  of 
the  outer  lip.  Length  3.5,  diam.  1  mm.  Brittany:  Around

Var.  anglica  Bgt.  According  to  Bourguignat,  this  is  dis- 
tinguished from  acicula  by  the  larger  size, — length  8,  diam.  1.5 
mm. — the  whorls  of  the  spire  more  convex,  the  suture  deeper, 
not  margined,  the  aperture  rounded,  and  the  columella  strongly 
truncate.  England.  (C.  anglica  BGT.,  Rev.  et  Mag.  de  Zool. 
1856,  p.  384,  pi.  12,  f.  4,  5.) 

This  "species"  is  a  good  example  of  Bourguignat  at  his 
worst.  There  really  was  no  type  specimen  of  anglica;  nothing 
but  Reeve's  figure  in  the  Conchologia  Iconicav,  pi.  20,  f.  Ill, 
which  Bourguignat  described  in  formal  phrase,  while  his  artist 
redrew  it  enlarged  for  his  plate.  The  citation  of  Reeve  is  curi- 
ously falsified  in  name  of  the  work,  number  of  the  figure  and 
date,  almost  concealing  the  real  source  of  all  of  the  information 
extant  upon  "  C.  anglica.'"  Whether  the  English  form  has  any 
racial  characters  or  not  must  be  left  for  English  students  to 
decide.  I  have  never  seen  English  examples  so  large  as  anglica 
is  claimed  to  be;  but  the  size  was  probably  not  carefully  meas- 
ured from  the  shell,  but  merely  estimated  by  the  eye.  Reeve's 
Iconica  is  very  unreliable  in  all  relating  to  minute  shells,  though 
the  figures  of  large  species  are  admirable.

This  form  is  probably  distinct  from  C.  acicula.  It  is  more 
slender  with  smaller  aperture,  and  a  rather  heavy  callus,  which 
forms  an  entering  ridge  or  nodule  below  the  middle  of  the  par- 
ietal margin.  While  this  structure  is  conspicuous  in  typical 
liesvillei,  yet  it  varies  in  development,  and  is  traceable  in  occa- 
sional specimens  of  C.  acicula.  Dr.  Boettger  has  identified 
liesvillei  from  debris  of  the  Kura  at  Borshom,  Caucasus.  The 
specimens  (pi.  1,  fig.  15)  differ  from  typical  acicula  by  the  ob- 
solete parietal  fold  in  the  middle  of  the  base  of  the  last  whorl,

Benoit' s  original  figure  is  copied,  fig.  31.  I  have  also  illus- 
trated one  of  several  specimens  before  me,  received  from  Benoit. 
This  shows  a  form  probably  not  distinguishable  from  liesvillei 
Bgt.,  having  a  slightly  contracted-attenuate  spire,  the  whorls 
distinctly  convex,  the  convexity  chiefly  close  below  the  suture. 
There  is  a  conspicuous,  spirally  entering  callous  ridge  on  the 
parietal  wall  close  to  its  junction  with  the  columella,  but  other- 
wise the  parietal  and  columellar  margins  form  nearly  a  straight 
line.  As  usual,  the  first  whorl  increases  very  fast,  the  next 
whorl  scarcely  widens,  and  the  last  2£  whorls  increase  regularly. 
Length  4.4,  diam.  1.3  mm.;  whorls  5£. 

Younger  shells  agree  better  with  Benoit' s  description,  yet 
even  these  show  the  trace  of  a  callous  lamella.  I  am  disposed 
to  place  the  form  in  the  synonymy  of  liesvillei. 

Var.  tiberiana  (Benoit).  Vol.  xix,  pi.  51,  fig.  5.  Close  to

Var.  hyalina  (E.  A.  Bielz)  PI.  1,  tigs.  3,  4.  The  shell  is 
very  long  and  narrow,  composed  of  fully  6  very  slightly  convex 
whorls,  the  last  4  rapidly  increasing,  the  suture  very  oblique, 
but  descending  much  less  rapidly  near  the  aperture.  Aperture 
small,  piriform.  Columellar  callus  rather  thin,  but  in  certain 
positions  its  upper  edge  is  barely  visible  as  a  slight  prominence 
on  the  parietal  wall.  Length  5,  diam.  1.25,  aperture  1.7  mm.

(exclusive  of  synonymy). 

Bielz  intended  his  name  to  replace  that  of  acicula,  but  he 
gave  a  description  of  the  Transsylvanian  form,  which  proves  to 
be  distinct  from  ancula  by  its  greater  elongation.  It  stands 
close  to  Uesvillel,  but  is  possibly  separable  by  the  more  delicate 
columellar  callus  and  the  absence  of  a  distinct  callus  on  the 
parietal  wall.  The  specimen  figured  was  received  from  Bielz. 

Var.  uni.plimta  Bourguignat.  PI.  1,  figs.  13,  14.  Shell 
minute,  turrite-oblong,  slender,  very  fragile,  diaphanous- 
whitish,  crystalline,  smooth;  apex  obtuse,  mamillate,  composed 
of  6  nearly  flat  or  slightly  convex  whorls,  which  increase 
rapidly  and  unevenly,  and  are  parted  by  an  impressed,  not 
duplicated,  suture;  the  last  whorl  half  the  total  length  or  more. 
Aperture  piriform-oblong;  columella  uniplicate  above,  a  little 
twisted,  truncate  at  the  base;  peristome  acute,  unexpanded,

The  columella  "a  little  concave,  ornamented  in  the  upper 
part  with  a  lamelliform  fold,  and  having  a  distinct  truncation 
at  the  base  "  seems  to  be  the  chief  characteristic  of  this  form. 

Var.  aglena  Bgt.  PI.  1,  fig.  18.  Shell  approaching  espe- 
cially the  C.  liesvittei,  but  is  distinguished  by  the  mamillate 
summit,  non-nnrgined  suture,  7  whorls,  and  especially  by  the 
aperture,  in  which  the  penultimate  whorl  has  scarcely  any  con- 
vexity, but  forms  nearly  a  straight  line  with  the  columella.

Var.  boettgeri  Hesse.  PI.  1,  fig.  17.  Differs  from  the  type 
by  the  smaller  size,  more  slender  shape,  angulate  columella, 
whorls  more  rapidly  increasing,  the  penultimate  as  high  as  the 
upper  ones.  Length  3,  diam.  scarcely  1  mm.  Tinos,  Grecian 
Archipelago,  in  flotsam  of  a  small  brook.  Differs  from  liesvittei 
by  its  slimness  and  the  shape  of  the  columella,  which  has  an 
angle  in  the  place  where  there  is  an  obsolete  fold  in  liesvittei.

Forms  of  Spain  and  Portugal. 

The  Iberian  forms  have  not  been  figured.  In  a  group  where 
with  the  closest  comparisons  of  specimens,  species  are  difficult 
to  distinguish,  mere  descriptions  are  barely  worth  the  paper 
they  are  written  on.  The  student  will  find  all  published  in- 
formation below.  C.  acicula  and  C.  nanodea  are  also  recorded 
from  the  Iberian  peninsula. 

C.  vandalitia  Servain.  The  whorls  increase  regularly  and 
rapidly;  the  suture  does  not  descend  much.  The  last  whorl 
has  a  regular,  median  convexity,  not  inferior,  as  in  belonidsea. 
The  spire  tapers  gradually.  The  outer  lip,  instead  of  descend- 
ing a  little  below  the  columellar  extremity,  forming  an  angular 
part  at  the  base  of  the  aperture  as  in  belonidsea,  is  on  the  con- 
trary convex  and  rounded  to  the  columellar  border,  which  is

shorter  and  more  strongly  truncate.  As  the  increase  of  the 
whorls  is  regular  and  the  convexity  about  equal  in  all  there  is 
not  the  contraction  at  the  left  side  between  the  penultimate  and 
last  whorls,  noticed  in  C.  bdonidcea.  The  simple  peristome  is 
not  thickened  within,  and  is  not  patulous  at  the  base  of  the 
aperture.  Length  6,  diam.  1.75,  aperture  2x1  mm. ;  whorls  7.

C.  castroiana  Locard.  Shell  of  relatively  great  size,  of  a  fusi- 
form, long-conic  shape;  spire  very  narrow,  acuminate,  com- 
posed of  6  slightly  convex  whorls,  the  first  three  increasing 
slowly  and  regularly,  the  following  two  much  larger,  the  last 
whorl  greatly  developed,  rounded  at  the  base,  three-sevenths 
the  total  length.  Suture  impressed,  with  a  bordering  line 
below.  Summit  small,  obtuse,  rounded.  Aperture  small, 
piriform,  slightly  over  two-sevenths  the  total  length,  contracted 
above,  well  rounded  at  the  base.  Peristome  simple,  unex- 
panded  and  acute;  right  margin  arching  a  little  forward,  the 
profile  broadly  arcuate;  columellar  border  slightly  sinuous, 
truncate,  not  reaching  the  base  of  the  shell;  the  margins  joined 
by  a  visible  callus.  Shell  thin,  quite  solid,  diaphanous, 
smooth,  whitish.  Length  7,  diam.  2mm.  (Loc.*).

Said  to  be  larger,  more  slender,  longer  and  more  conic  than 
C.  acicula,  with  less  regularly  coiled  and  less  convex  whorls, 
duplicated  suture,  smaller  and  narrower  aperture,  etc. 

C.  ribeiroi  Servain.  This  epecies  is  remarkable  for  the  oblong- 
acuminate  shape  of  the  spire  as  far  as  the  two  upper  whorls, 
which  are  cylindric;  for  the  progressively  accelerated  increase 
of  the  whorls,  the  suture  also  more  and  more  steeply  descending. 
The  last  whorl  is  regularly  long-convex.  The  aperture  is  quite 
excised  by  the  convexity  of  the  penult  whorl;  columellar  mar- 
gin short,  strongly  projecting,  strongly  truncate  at  the  base, 
obliquely  arcuate  from  left  to  right,  giving  the  aperture  in  the

C.  belonidcea  Servain.  The  upper  whorls  in  this  species  are 
regularly  elongate-convex,  with  a  suture  which  does  not  descend 
much  until  the  beginning  of  the  last  whorl,  where  the  descent 
rapidly  increases,  the  suture  descending  very  obliquely.  The 
last  whorl  is  not  rcgularh-  convex,  but  is  flattened  in  the  upper 
part  and  inflated  below.  The  long-piriform  aperture  is  narrow 
above,  dilated  at  the  base;  the  outer  margin  is  straight,  arcuate 
in  front.  The  apertural  convexity  of  the  penult  whorl  descends 
in  nearly  a  straight  line  to  the  columella,  which  is  short, 
straight,  indistinctly  truncate  below.  Length  5.5,  diam.  1.25, 
aperture  1.75  x  1  mm.;  whorls  5.

The  identity  of  this  species,  and  its  synonymy,  have  been  the 
subjects  of  considerable  variance.  Unfortunately  I  have  not 
access  to  de  Betta's  "Esame  Critico"  in  which  he  figures  the

specie;?.  Westerlund's  account,  which  I  have  used  above, 
seems  to  have  been  taken  mainly  from  Kuester's  article  of  1870, 
which  was  the  first  critical  discussion  of  the  species. 

Var.  gredleri  Ku ester.  Shell  ovate-fusiform,  slender,  thin, 
polished,  whitish,  the  spire  rather  acute,  whorls  a  little  convex, 
joined  by  a  margined  suture,  the  last  more  than  half  the  total 
length.  Aperture  narrow,  lanceolate  ;  peristome  unexpanded 
acute,  arching  forward.  Columella  short,  slightly  arcuate, 
obliquely  truncate,  margins  joined  by  a  callus.  Length  5.5, 
diam.  scarcely  2  mm.  (Acicula  gredleri  Kuester,  Neunter  Ber. 
Nat.  Ges.  Bamberg,  1870,  p.  94). 

"  One  might  say  that  this  species  represents  a  shortened, 
widened  aciculoldes,  just  as  veneta  seems  to  be  a  derivative  of 
adciila.  The  slender  shell  is  fusiform,  but  the  greatest  width  is 
below  the  middle."  The  types  were  found  at  Trient  with  A. 
veneta  by  Professor  Gredler.  One  example  was  found  by  Dr. 
Kuester  at  Triest. 

14.   C.  ACICULOIDES  ('Jan'  de  Betta).     PI.  2,  fig.  25. 

Shell  minute,  fusiform-cylindric,  acicular,  the  apex  attenuate, 
obtuse,  hyaline,  glossy,  white  or  gray.  Whorls  nearly  fiat; 
suture  very  narrowly  margined;  columella  arcuate,  the  base 
narrowly  truncate.  Aperture  ovate-oblong,  lanceolate,  very 
narrow;  peristome  simple,  unexpanded,  acute.  Length  3.5  to

From  the  notably  higher,  almost  awl-shaped  fio'nda  this 
species  differs  by  the  entirely  different,  rather  fusiform,  cylin- 
dric  shape,  the  much  higher  last  whorl,  half  the  total  alt.,  and

the  longer  aperture,  not  so  much  receding  below  and  less 
widened.  The  moderately  increasing  whorls  are  somewhat 
convex,  the  upper  margin  noticeably  thickened,  narrowly  bor- 
dered. The  base  of  the  last  whorl  is  very  lightly  arcuately 
tapering.  The  bend  of  the  columella  is  indistinct,  the  trunca- 
tion at  its  base  oblique.  The  ends  of  the  peristome  are  joined 
by  a  distinct  deposit.  Length  5,  diam.  1.33  to  1.5  mm. 
(Kuester,  1870). 

This  species  was  quite  unrecognizably  described  by  Jan,  but 
it  was  redescribed  in  1852  by  Edoardo  de  Betta,  from  specimens 
received  from  Jan.  I  have  translated  de  Betta' s  description 
and  reproduced  his  very  poor  figure.  Kuester  ably  discussed 
the  form  in  1870,  having  specimens  received  from  de  Betta,  and 
others  collected  by  himself  at  Triest.

From  specimens  before  me  from  Benoit.  this  does  not  seem 
to  differ  materially  from  G.  petitiana  except  in  being  smaller. 
I  have  figured  a  Benoit  shell  measuring  4.4x  1.3  mm.  There 
is  no  noticeable  parietal  callus  nodule  or  ridge;  the  outer  lip  is 
very  strongly,  evenly  arched  forward;  and  the  last  whorl 
descends  very  obliquely  in  the  middle  of  its  length. 

Var.  petitiana  (Benoit).  PI.  2,  tigs.  23,  24.  Shell  elongate-

turrite,  the  apex  a  little  obtuse;  suture  impressed,  narrowly 
margined.  Whorls  6,  slightly  convex,  rapidly  increasing,  the 
last  nearly  flat,  longer  than  the  spire.  Columella  subarcuate, 
abruptly  truncate  at  the  base.  Aperture  lanceolate,  narrow. 
Peristome  simple,  unexpanded,  acute,  the  margins  joined  by  a

Several  lots,  all  from  Benoit,  are  before  me.  The  extremely 
thin  hyaline  shell  has  a  conspicuously  margined  suture.  The 
upper  part  of  the  spire  is  slightly  contracted.  The  first  whorl 
increases  in  width  very  rapidly,  the  next  H  increase  but  little; 
then  the  width  increases  rapidly  again,  the  suture  descending 
more  obliquely.  Its  descent  is  most  oblique  in  the  middle  of 
the  last  whorl,  somewhat  less  so  towards  its  end.  The  outer 
lip  arches  very  strongly  forward,  the  greatest  convexity  being 
below  the  middle.  The  parietal  wall  has  only  a  thin  callous 
film.  The  columella  is  concave,  has  a  callous  edge,  and  is 
obliquely  but  quite  distinctly  truncate  at  the  base.  Length 
4.3,  diam.  1.3mm.;  whorls  5.

aperture  slightly  contracted  towards  the  base,  and  the  columella

Differs  from  tumulorum  Roth  by  the  feebly  convex  whorls 
separated  by  a  margined  suture,  the  last  whorl  comprising  two- 
fifths  of  the  total  length;  by  the  parietal  wall  being  without  any 
callus,  the  outer  margin  not  divergent,  finally  by  the  columella 
which  is  obliquely  truncate  a  little  way  above  the  base,  and 
bordered  with  a  thread.  The  largest  individuals  are  7  mm.

According  to  Mousson,  there  are  fewer  whorls  than  in  C. 
acicula ;  the  apex  is  larger  and  more  obtuse,  the  last  whorl  is 
more  cylindric,  and  the  remarkably  narrow  aperture  has  the 
free  margin  descending  in  a  straight  line  curving  towards  the 
end  of  the  columella  and  without  surpassing  it.  The  columella 
is  but  slightly  concave  and  is  obliquely  truncate  at  the  base. 

The  figures  are  copied  from  Boettger,  and  represent  specimens 
from  the  drift  of  the  Sarus  river,  where  this  species  is  common. 
He  remarks  that  the  examples  vary  quite  noticeably  in  size  but 
normally  it  is  4  to  4.5  mm.  long,  1.12  to  1.25  mm.  wide.  A 
relative  is  C.  subsaxano  Bgt. .  which  perhaps  may  be  a  young 
form  of  the  same  species.

Cadlianella  isseli  PALAD.  ,  Annali  Mus.  Civ.  Geneva  iii,  1872,

"By  its  slim  shape,  approaching  the  cylindric,  its  more 
twisted  whorls,  deeper  suture  and  the  appearance  of  the  aper-

Paladilhe  probably  had  two  species  mixed  in  his  lot  of  C. 
isseli.  The  description  is  that  of  a  Ctzcilioides,  possibly  identical 
with  Nevill's  second  species  (Handlist  Ind.  Mus.  p.  162), 
and  with  A.  balanus  of  Hanley  and  Theobald  (Conchologin,

while  the  figure  given  by  Paladilhe,  which  I  have  copied,  seems 
to  belong  to  C.  (Geostilbio.')  balanus.  Further  investigation  of 
the  Csecilioides  of  Aden  and  India  is  much  needed.  Whether 
the  observed  differences  in  the  columella  indicate  several  species, 
or  are  extreme  aspects  of  variation  in  a  single  stock,  are  ques- 
tions I  can  throw  no  light  upon. 

Species  of  tropical  Asia,   Went  Indies,  etc. 

Tropical  countries  have  a  few  species  of  Csecilioides  of  two 
groups:  (1)  the  group  of  C.  iota,  comprising  very  minute  species 
1.6  to  2.5  mm.  long,  markedly  cylindric,  with  the  whorls  nearly 
flat.  All  are  American.  (2)  the  group  of  C.  gundlachi,  with

The  type  lot  at  Amherst  consists  of  three  specimens.      It  is  a 


C.ECILIOIDES    OF    TROPICAL    AMERICA.  39 

Bubcylindric  shell,  obtuse  at  both  ends,  of  scarcely  four  whorls 
in  most  examples,  4-|  in  the  longest.  The  shell  is  clear  corneous 
when  fresh,  showing  the  internal  walls  through,  but  it  weathers 
to  milky  white.  The  whorls  are  only  slightly  convex,  and  are 
separated  by  a  moderately  impressed  suture,  margined  below. 
The  suture  is  at  first  nearly  horizontal,  but  at  the  last  1£  or 
2  whorls  it  descends  rapidly,  the  width  of  the  whorl  progres- 
sively increasing.  The  aperture  is  acuminate  above.  Outer  lip 
arches  very  strongly  forward.  The  columella  is  more  or  less 
concave  below,  and  is  rather  abruptly  truncate  above  the  base. 
Columellar  callus  usually  moderate,  but  variable  in  thickness. 
Under  a  high  power,  an  extremely  minute  spiral  striation  may 
be  seen  near  the  base.  Measurements  are  as  follows:

C.  iota  has  been  found  only  in  Jamaica.  It  is  readily  dis- 
tinguished from  other  tropical-American  species  by  its  much 
narrower  contour.  Exact  measurements  which  I  have  made  of 
a  large  number  of  specimens  from  several  localities  show  the 
difference  in  shape  to  be  constant. 

Pfeiffer's  figure  of  this  species  in  the  Gonchylien  Cabinet  is  very 
poor.  It  shows  no  columellar  truncation,  and  hence  C.  iota 
was  classed  by  Crosse  and  others  in  Geostilbia.  Adams's  type 
specimens,  as  well  as  numerous  examples  before  me,  have  a 
distinctly  truncate  columella.

This  species  is  closely  related  to  C.  iota,  from  which  it  differs 
by  the  stouter,  more  robust  figure,  specimens  of  the  same  length 
being  invariably  wider  than  iota.  The  general  shape  is  slightly 
tapering  cylindric,  very  obtuse  at  the  ends.  The  whorls  in- 
crease a  little  more  regularly  than  in  iota,  the  last  turn  of  the 
suture  being  less  oblique,  though  descending  faster  than  the 
preceding  one.  This  acceleration  of  the  rate  of  descent  changes 
the  appearance  of  the  shell  and  the  proportionate  size  of  aperture 
to  total  length  with  age,  so  that  the  addition  of  a  whorl  or  even 
less  alters  the  contour  remarkably.  The  surface  is  lightly 
marked  with  growth-wrinkles  and  minute  engraved  spiral  lines, 
visible  only  under  a  compound  microscope.  The  columellar 
truncation  is  distinct,  but  rather  weak  in  some  examples.  Two 
specimens  from  a  lot  taken  by  Gundlach  are  figured. 

PI.  5,  fig.  82:  length  2.4,  diam.  0.8  mm. 

PI.  5,  fig.  81:  length  1.9,  diam.  0.7  mm. 

The  former  of  these  examples  corresponds  to  the  type  of 
A.  pygmcea  Pfr. ;  the  latter,  a  younger  shell,  agrees  with  Orbigny's 
type  of  A.  consobrina.  In  my  opinion  these  two  names  apply 
to  one  and  the  same  species,  in  slightly  different  stages  of 
growth.  Pfeiffer's  description  of  A.  pygmcea  follows. 

"A.  pygmcea  Ph.  Shell  cylindric,  smooth,  pellucid  hyaline, 
the  apex  rather  obtuse.  Whorls  5,  rather  flattened,  separated 
by  an  oblique,  lightly  impressed  suture,  the  last  \  the  total 
length.  Columella  nearly  straight,  forming  an  angle  with  the 
belly  of  the  preceding  whorl,  subtruncate  at  the  base  of  the 
oval-elliptical  aperture;  peristome  acute,  the  right  margin 
dilated  forward.  Length  2.25,  diam.  f  mm.;  aperture  f  mm.

tinctly developed  than  in  consobrina,  visible  from  the  suture  to 
the  base,  the  strise  appearing  crimped  or  waved  (fig.  79). 
There  is  no  other  difference.  Specimens  measure:

Crosse  has  very  inadequately  figured  minutissima,  and  I  have 
copied  his  figure,  pi.  5,  fig.  80.  Figure  84,  pi.  5,  and  fig.  68  of 
pi.  4,  represent  what  I  take  to  be  Guppy's  species  from 
Barbados.  The  general  form  is  as  described  for  pygmaa]  but 
the  surface  is  smoother  than  in  Cuban  or  Mexican  shells,  spiral 
lines  being  scarcely  visible  under  the  compound  microscope 
except  at  the  base.  The  columellar  truncation  is  rather  weak. 
Two  specimens  measure:  Length  2.05,  diam.  .7  mm.,  whorls  5. 
Length  2.15,  diam.  .8,  aperture  9  mm.;  whorls  5. 

With  these  specimens  were  others  resembling  them  except 
that  the  columella  is  very  strongly  truncate  at  the  base  (pi.  5, 
figs.  83,  85)  at  all  stages  of  growth.  These  may  represent 
another  species,  yet  I  am  unable  to  satisfactorily  separate  the 
series.  The  two  examples  figured  measure:  length  2,  diam.  .7

Pfeiffer's  description  of  this  shell  is  not  very  good.  It  tapers 
regularly  to  the  very  obtuse,  rounded  apex.  There  are  5  whorls, 
very  obliquely  coiled,  quite  convex,  and  parted  by  impressed 
sutures.  The  last  whorl  is  evenly  convex.  The  aperture  is 
ovate,  effuse  at  the  base;  the  outer  lip  arches  forward  strongly 
in  the  middle.  The  columella  is  a  little  concave,  and  near  the 
base  is  obsoletely  truncate.  It  has  a  rather  heavy  callus  in 
most  fully  adult  shells,  which  passes  up  over  part  of  the  parietal 
wall.  The  color  is  pale  corneous-brown,  or  sometimes  almost 
clear  corneous.  There  is  no  spiral  striation.  Two  Cuban  exam- 
ples figured  measure:  Length  4.2,  diam.  1.25  mm.  Length 
3.85,  diam.  1.1,  apert  1.3  mm.  The  figures  do  not  well  show 
the  heavy  callus  upon  the  colunella  and  lower  part  of  the  parietal 
wall. 

This  is  a  somewhat  common  and  widely  distributed  species, 
probably  to  be  found  throughout  the  Antilles.  It  was  taken 
many  years  ago  in  Princeton,  N.  J.,  no  doubt  imported  with 
West  Indian  plants.  These  specimens  were  reported  as  P. 
acicula  in  Binney' s  "  Manual."  It  occurred  also  in  St.  Helena, 
though  whether  it  still  survives  there  is  unknown. 

The  New  Caledonian  Geostilbia  caledonica  is  in  all  probability 
the  same  species,  a  colony  having  been  derived  from  Guadaloupe 
or  some  other  Antillean  source.  At  all  events  I  am  quite

unable  to  see  any  difference  in  the  shell.  The  original  descrip-

poor  and  dissimilar  outline  figures  were  given  with  this  name

ticulars. In  1892  Mr.  E.  A.  Smith  stated  that  A.  gundlachi 
and  veru  were  equivalent  to  aperta;  and  in  1895  he  identified 
Geostilbia  caledonica,  Crosse  as  a  synonym  of  Megaspira  (sic) 
aperta,  from  the  comparison  of  specimens  in  the  British  Museum. 
In  my  opinion,  M.  aperta  was  not  sufficiently  defined  by 
Swainson  to  be  recognized.  Its  identity  with  C.  gundlachi  rests 
upon  Mr.  Smith's  identification  of  specimens  from  Guilding, 
the  locality  of  which  is  surmised  to  be  the  West  Indies,  but  is 
not  positively  known.  No  description  of  even  these  specimens 
has  appeared,  and  Swainson' s  figures  are  extremely  crude.

I  have  not  seen  this  species,  which  seems  to  be  rather  common 
in  the  higher,  dry  parts  of  India,  and  to  be  known  chiefly  by 
river-drift  specimens.  Pfeiffer's  description  and  the  figures  of 
Reeve  and  Pfeiffer  indicate  a  shell  with  only  weakly-truncate 
columella,  so  that  one  understands  why  Colonel  Beddome  should 
compare  Geostilbia,  caledonica,  (which  he  states  is  identical  with 
Indian  specimens  from  North  Canara,  see  Blanford,  /.  c. ). 
Nevill  also  refers  the  species  to  Geostilbia.  In  his  description  of 
<'.  isseli,,  Paladilhe  mentions  emphatically  its  truncate  columella; 
yet  his  figure  seems  to  represent  a  Geostilbia  very  close  to  balanus. 
Blanford  has  stated  that  isseli  is  identical  with  balanus;  but  so 
far  as  I  can  judge  from  the  literature,  there  are  two  speciea 
involved.  Fig.  60  is  copied  from  Reeve's  type  figure.  I  have 
also  copied  the  figure  given  in  f^onehologia  Indica,  pi.  4,  fig.  61. 
By  its  strongly  truncate  columella,  this  figure  seems  to  cor- 
respond with  the  description  of  C.  Isseli.

Described  from  one  example.  The  figures,  drawn  by  Dr.

acter and  the  broad  sutnral  margin  seem  to  differ  from  the

The  shell  is  clear  corneous,  glossy,  marked  with  faint 
growth-lines  and  under  a  high  power  some  faint  traces  of 
spiral  striation  are  visible  in  places.  The  spire  tapers  regu- 
larly to  the  obtuse  summit.  Slightly  over  4  whorls,  convex 
and  rapidly  enlarging.  Suture  narrowly  margined.  The 
aperture  is  ovate;  columella  straightened  below,  not  in  the 
least  truncate  and  not  calloused.  The  outer  lip  is  strongly 
arched  forward.  Length  4,  diain.  1.4.  length  aperture

The  spire  tapers  much  more  than  in  C.  gundlaclii,  the  last

margin  is  narrower  than  in  ('.  gundlachi.  In  the  type  lot 
the  columella  is  not  calloused.  C.  philippinensis  is  a  larger

GLESSULA.  51 

Genitalia  peculiar  (pi.  15,  figs.  2);  there  is  a  feather-like 
gland  (fig.  3)  where  the  vas  deferens  enters  the  penis.  The 
latter  contains  a  short  conic,  perforated  papilla  and  two  of 
longitudinal  folds.  The  prostate  gland  of  the  hermaphrodite 
duct  consists  of  entirely  separated  narrow  follicles,  as  in 
AchatiiKi.  The  spermatheca  has  a  short  duct.  Uterus  contain- 
ing several  large  shells  with  fully  2  whorls. 

The  jaw  is  very  finely  striate,  almost  smooth.  Radula  has 
about  110  teeth  in  a  transverse  row.  The  central  tooth  is  very 
small,  tricuspid;  laterals  with  three  cusps;  outer  marginal  teeth 
very  finely  3-  or  4-cusped  (G.  orophila  from  Madras,  according 
to  Semper). 

Type  G.  gemma  Bens.  Distribution,  Oriental  and  Ethiopian 
regions. 

Glessula  was  associated  with  "  Cionelld, "  (that  is,  the  Ferus- 
mcidce  as  herein  understood)  by  Professor  von  Martens  in  1860. 
Various  other  authors,  both  before  and  since,  have  thought  the 
group  Aehatinoid,  belonging  to  "  Stenogyra'  in  the  former 
wide  limits  of  that  term.  We  know  too  little  of  its  anatomy  to 
give  a  definite  opinion,  but  the  presence  of  a  glandular  append- 
age (appendix  or  llagellum)  at  the  end  of  the  penis  is  a  feature 
unlike  any  Achati.nida.  The  homology  of  this  appendage  is  not 
certain,  however.  The  position  of  the  ureter  is  unknown.  I 
have  been  unable  to  obtain  alcoholic  material  necessary  for  an 
investigation  of  the  relations  of  Glesmla  to  Subulina,  Homorua, 
Bacillum  and  Pseudoglessula. 

In  most  (but  perhaps  not  all)  species,  the  lip  becomes 
slightly  blunt  and  smooth  in  fully  adult  shells,  thereby  differing 
from  Subulina,  which  has  an  acute  lip  at  all  stages  or  growth. 

In  G.  orophila,  Semper  found  in  the  uterus  4  large  embryos 
with  shells  having  fully  two  whorls,  and  a  ^mall  one  with  a 
half  whorl  and  very  large  caudal  vesicle.  Various  other  species 
have  been  found  to  be  viviparous,  while  others  bring  forth 
globular  eggs  like  those  of  SubvJina.  Like  that  genus,  also,  the 
Glessulse  reproduce  before  attaining  full  size. 

Glessula  has  been  studied  mainly  by  specialists  on  the  Indian 
fauna.  Benson,  W.  T.  Blanford,  Beddome  and  Godwin- 
Austen  have  chiefly  contributed  to  the  literature.  Blanford's 


">'2  GLESSULA. 

"Contributions  to  Indian  Malacology,"  continued  through 
many  years  of  the  Journal  of  the  Asiatic  Society  of  Bengal, 
contain  a  great  mass  of  information  on  this  genus,  as  on  many 
others  of  the  Indian  fauna.  Hanley  and  Theobald  illustrated 
most  of  the  types  of  Benson,  among  others,  in  their  Conchologia 
IndicM.  Finally,  Colonel  R.  H.  Beddome  has  recently  reviewed 
the  genus  in  his  "Notes  on  Indian  and  Ceylonese  Species  of 
Glessula." 

From  the  purely  conchological  standpoint  we  may  be  said  to 
have  an  extensive  knowledge  of  Glessula,  yet  various  characters 
of  the  first  importance  have  been  neglected.  The  embryonic 
whorls  of  the  types  must  all  be  re-examined  and  their  sculpture  de- 
Bribed.  Our  ignorance  of  the  embryonic  sculpture  of  many 
forms  prevents  any  natural  classification  of  the  species.  The 
surface  of  the  later  whorls  in  all  the  species  should  be  examined 
under  high  power,  since  some  species  have  a  minute  sculpture 
not  visible  with  an  ordinary  hand  lens. 

No  fossil  species  of  Glessula  are  known  to  me.  A  few  species 
of  other  genera  have  been  referred  to  Glessula. 

Glessula  obtusa  and  G.  erosa  Blanford  are  species  of  Bacillum 
(Vol.  xvii,  pp.  1,  4). 

Glessula  orthoceras  G.-A.  is  a  Bacillum  (I.  c. ,  p.  2). 

Glessula  philippinensis  Semper,  of  Cooke,  is  a  Ceecilioides  (this 
vol.,  p.  49). 

No  natural  classification  of  the  species  of  Glessula  can  be 
attempted  until  the  sculpture  of  the  apices  of  the  shells  and  the 
anatomy  of  a  number  of  representative  species  are  studied.  I 
have  separated  a  group  of  West  African  forms  (species  89  to 
92)  as  a  new  section,  Neoglessula.  The  species  are  here  grouped 
geographically,  as  follows: 

I.  Ceylon,  species  1  to  13,  34,  49,  52. 
II.   Peninsular  India,  species  14  to  58. 

III.  Extra-Peninsular    India,    Indo-China,    Yunnan,    etc., 

species  59  to  77. 

IV.  Habitat  unknown,  species  78  to  80. 

V.   Sumatra,  Java  and  Borneo,  species  81,  82. 
VI.   Eastern  Africa,  species  83  to  86. 
VII.   West  Africa,  species  87  to  92.

near  the  suture,  weaker  below.  On  the  spire  these  stria?  are 
separated  into  groups  by  occasional  deeper  grooves  or  larger 
striae;  and  more  or  less  trace  of  such  irregularity  may  often  be 
traced  on  the  last  whorl.  Under  the  compound  microscope, 
the  surface  is  seen  to  be  very  densely  covered  with  minute  granules 
arranged  in  spiral  lines  (pi.  6,  fig.  16).  These  give  it  a  charac- 
teristic silky  sheen,  unlike  the  smooth  species.  Specimens 
before  me  measure  as  follows,  all  being  adults  with  the  lip  blunt. 


54  GLESSULA,    CEYLON. 

Length  29,  diam.  13,  aperture  12  mm. ;  whorls  8. 

Length  28,  diam.  11.5,  aperture  11.7  mm.;  whorls  8. 

Length  24,  diam.  11.7,  aperture  10.5  mm.;  whorls  7^'. 

The  color  is  yellow  or  olivaceous,  with  some  reddish  streaks. 
The  interior  is  pale  lilac  or  flesh -colored. 

This  is  one  of  the  most  distinct  species  of  the  genus.  Col. 
Beddome  has  mentioned  a  "  var.  minor,  length  18  to  20  mm." 

Pfeiffer  has  descrihed  and  figured  a  variety  which  is  "more 
distinctly  striate.  silky,  brownish-tawny'  (pi.  6,  fig.  17). 
This  form  is  thought  by  Col.  Beddome  to  be  G.  beddomei  Blanf.

Shell  oblong- turrite,  thin  but  rather  solid,  yellow  or  tawny, 
with  some  narrow  darker  or  chestnut  streaks  on  the  spire. 
Surface  very  glossy,  finely  and  deeply  striate,  the  stria'  unequal, 
in  places  being  as  narrow  as  the  intervals,  but  occasionally  much 
wider.  Under  the  compound  microscope  a  very  faint  spiral 
striation  is  visible,  the  spirals  being  very  weakly  beaded  in 
places.  The  first  2^  whorls  are  smooth.  Spire  conic  with 
straight  sides  and  obtuse  apex.  Suture  irregularly  crenulate. 
Aperture  vertical,  flesh-tinted  inside.  Outer  lip  obtuse,  form- 
ing a  regular  arch.  Columella  moderately  concave,  obliquely 
truncate  at  base, 

Length  27.2,  diarn.  11,  length  apart.  10  mm.;  whorls  8i. 

Length  27,  diam.  11.2,  length  apart.  10.5  mm.;  whorls  8^.

Closely  related  to  G.  inornata.  but  more  glossy  and  having 
much  less  distinct  microscopic  granulation,  as  may  be  seen  by 
comparing  fig.  3  with  pi.  6,  fig.  16.  The  outlines  of  the  spire 
are  straighter;  there  are  more  w7horls  in  the  same  length,  and 
the  aperture  is  smaller.  G.  beddomei  has  a  more  prominent 
and  more  deeply  truncate  columella. 

3.  G.  PARABILIS  (Benson).     PI.  7,  fig.  4. 

Shell  oblong-ovate,  rather  solid,  glossy,  rugose-striate,  decus- 
sated with  most  minute,  obsolete  spiral  stria?,  whitish  under  a 
buff-corneous  cuticle.  Spire  long-conic,  the  apex  obtuse,  suture 
lightly  impressed,  subcrenulate.  Whorls  6,  subplanulate,  the 
last  a  little  convex,  scarcely  three-sevenths  the  shell's  length.

A  typical  specimen  is  drawn  in  fig.  1,  2  of  plate  6.  The 
shell  is  corneous-yellow,  very  bright  and  glossy,  nearly 
smooth.  The  sides  of  the  spire  are  very  slightly  convex; 
but  the  whorls  are  strongly  convex,  parted  by  a  very  dis- 
tinctly crenulated  suture.  The  aperture  is  small;  columella 
very  deeply  excavated  above.  Length  17,  diam.  7.8,  aper- 
ture 6.8  mm. ;  whorls  7y2-  Nalande,  Ceylon.

"Differs  from  A.  ceylanica  by  the  smoother,  more  glossy 
shell,  with  longer  spire,  shorter  last  whorl,  and  the  columella

nearly  8.  Others  from  the  Matelle  district,  received  from 
Layard,  are  typical  in  size.  Both  lots  were  received  as

otherwise  it  is  closely  related.  The  whorls  are  strongly  con-

"This  little  species  of  a  group  which  has  so  many  rep- 
resentatives in  Ceylon,  the  Nilgherries,  and  the  damp  woody 
mountains  of  the  North-eastern  India,  with  a  more  slender 
form  than  A.  areas  nobis,  is  well  distinguished  from  the 
allied  forms  by  its  peculiar  sculpture  under  the  lens,  and  by 
the  internal  incrassation  of  the  peristome,  a  feature  which 
is  also  observable  in  the  species  A.  crassilabris  nobis,  from 
north-eastern  India."  (Benson.} 

This  species  has  not  been  figured.  With  the  same  dimen- 
sions as  G.  deshayesi,  it  seems  to  differ  by  having  the  whorls 
only  very  little  convex,  whilst  in  deshayesi  they  are  strongly 
convex.

That  species  has  not  been  figured,  but  according  to  the  de-

elongate,  subturrite,  the  apex  abruptly  obtuse;  suture  im- 
pressed, submarginate,  crenulate.  Whorls  6y2  to  7,  subcon-

This  species  is  very  close  to  G.  nitcx*.  but  the  whorls  are 
less  convex.  It  is  doubtfully  distinct,  from  G.  ceylanica,  .but 
from  the  figures,  that  seems  to  be  more  straightly  conic  and 
smaller.

Ceylon  (Layard). 

This  species  differs  from  G.  ceylanica  by  its  very  much  less 
deeply  concave  columella.  It  is  a  smaller  and  more  slender 
shell  than  G.  serena,  which  seems  to  be  its  nearest  ally.  The 
denticulation  of  the  suture  is  a  prominent  feature.  Though 
"live"  shells,  the  surface  is  eroded  in  places.  The  whitish 
flecks  probably  will  not  be  found  on  shells  from  stations 
where  they  are  less  liable  to  erosion.

Compared  with  0.  p.  taprobanica,  this  is  a  more  slender 
shell,  hence  the  whorls  appear  longer,  and  they  are  more 
evenly  convex,  the  suture  being  less  narrowly  impressed.

seems  to  be  more  strongly  sculptured  than  is  usual  in  that 
genus.  The  embryonic  whorls  are  smooth,  a  little  darker 
than  the  rest  of  the  shell.  Four  specimens  were  taken,  two 
of  them  smaller  than  the  type,  which  is  thought  by  Jousseaume 
to  be  immature.

'Full  grown  specimens  were  very  rarely  found  by  me, 
though  young  half-  and  three-quarter  grown  ones  are  most 
abundant  on  the  Nilgiris.  This  and  some  other  species  cer- 
tainly breed  before  the  shell  attains  full  size  or  a  hardened 
peristome,  as  I  have  taken  eggs  from  such  shells.  The  peris- 
tome  differs  much  in  mature  specimens,  sometimes  being  very 
thick  and  solid,  sometimes  quite  thin,  but,  even  then,  firm,  and 
not  breaking  or  becoming  jagged  at  the  touch,  which  is  the 
sign  that  the  shell  has  not  finished  its  growth.  Full-grown 
examples  of  shiplayi  are  very  like  tenuispira,  but  smaller.  It 
also  runs  nilgirica  very  closely,  but  the  latter  has  a  stronger 
sculpture,  and  is  broader  at  the  base."  (Bedd.)

"The  nearest  ally  to  this  species  appears  to  be  (}.  tamulica 
(  \V.  &  II.  Blanf.)  from  near  Trichinopoly,  which  is  distin- 
guished by  greater  diameter  in  proportion  to  the  length,  and 
a  more  regularly  tapering  spire.  Intermediate  forms  may 
hereafter  be  found  however. 

''A  specimen  from  the  Shevroy  hills  near  Salem  in  south- 
ern India,  sent  to  me  by  Major  Beddome,  only  differs  from 
(i.  hebes  in  being  longer  and  slightly  more  attenuate  towards 
the  apex.  It  has  13  whorls."  (Blanf.} 

"Ten  specimens  received  from  Blanford  and  E vizard,  col- 
lected near  Poona,  are  all  young,  with  quite  unformed  lip ; 
and  all  the  types  of  hebcs  in  Blanf ord's  collection,  and  the 
specimens  in  the  Natural  History  Museum  and  others  that  I 
have  seen,  are  the  same.  If  full-grown,  or  nearly  so,  it 
must  be  a  much  smaller  species  than  sliiplayi.  It  runs  the 
young  of  that  species  rather  closely,  but  the  apex  is  gener- 
ally blunter.  Specimens  collected  by  me  on  the  Shevaroys 
iire  referred  here  by  Blanford;  they  are,  however,  immature 
and  appear  rather  to  belong  to  fairbanki.  if  that  species  is 
distinct,  which  I  doubt.  When  collected  I  took  them  to  be 
young  of  sliiplayi.  Until  hebes  and  fairbanki  are  found  with 
mature  lips,  they  must,  I  think,  remain  doubtful  species. 

"Hanley's  figure  of  hebes  has  the  tapering  apex  of  young 
shiplayi  and  is  unlike  my  type  of  hebes."  (Beddome.)

"The  nearest.  Nilgiri  form  is  A.  corrosula  Pfr.  The  more 
cylindrical  form  below,  the  sculpture,  shorter  whorls  etc., 
safely  distinguished  it  '  (Bens.). 

Col.  Beddome  considers  fairbanki  doubtfully  distinct  from 
G.  liebes.  Both  were  based  upon  shells  not  fully  mature.

wards the  apex;  apex  rather  obtuse;  suture  impressed. 
Whorls  11,  convex,  short,  the  upper  ones  rib-striate,  last 
whorl  rounded  below,  scarcely  one-fourth  the  total  length.

"The  convex  sides  of  the  upper  part  of  the  spire,  the 
shorter  whorls,  with  the  sculpture  and  polish  of  the  shell,  dis- 
tinguish it  as  well  from  the  Nilgiri  A.  perrotteti  as  from  the 
neighbouring  A.  notigena,  which  has  an  attenuate  spire  and 
costulate  sculpture  in  all  the  whorls.  The  Liberian  A.  clavus

Pfeiffer's  type  seems  to  be  a  relatively  wide,  short  form, 
with  the  mouth  more  than  one-third  the  total  length.  The 
longer  shell  figured  in  Conchologia  Indica  is  probably  a  dif-

Benson  records  a  variety  which  is  more  inflated,  ovate- 
turrite,  22  x  8  mm.  No  locality  for  it  is  mentioned.  He 
writes:  "This  shell  has  relations  to  A.  chessoni  in  the  attenu- 
ation of  the  spire  towards  the  summit,  a  feature  observable 
also  in  the  northeastern  A.  tenuispira.  It  differs  in  form, 
size,  proportions,  etc.  In  one  specimen  from  Bombay  the 
attenuation  of  the  spire  is  less  conspicuous."  Col.  Beddome 
states  that  the  specimens  he  has  seen  are  in  no  way  separable 
from  tenuispira. 

The  initial  half  whorl  is  smooth;  then  very  fine,  close, 
regular  vertical  striae  appear,  continuing  to  the  end  of  the 
embryonic  shell,  which  consists  of  two  whorls  (fig.  9).  After 
this,  the  striae  are  irregular,  coarse  ones  appearing  in  groups, 


GLESSULA,    PENINSULAR   INDIA.  67 

or  at  somewhat  irregular  intervals.  On  the  last  two  or  three 
whorls  the  striation  is  still  coarser,  and  chiefly  on  the  upper 
part  of  each  whorl,  the  lower  part  being  much  smoother. 
Specimens  from  Poona  before  me  are  more  slender  than  those 
from  Bombay,  measuring  21  x  7  mm.,  with  10^  whorls. 

The  sculptured  embryonic  whorls  show  that  this  species  is 
not  related  to  G.  tenuispira.  I  am  much  inclined  to  doubt 
that  the  specimens  recorded  from  the  Sylhet  region  are  really 
notigena.  They  are  probably  tenuispira.

This  is  allied  to  the  Nilgiri  G.  jerdoni  Bens.,  but  the  sides 
of  the  spire  are  less  convex,  the  shell  being  more  regularly 
pyramidal,  with  a  less  obtuse  apex.  In  some  of  the  specimens 
of  this  species  collected  alive,  but  in  which  the  animal  had 
subsequently  dried  up,  I  found  young  shells.  It  would  thus 
appear  to  be  viviparous.  I  have  observed  the  same  circum- 
stance (the  occurrence  of  young  shells  inside  the  old  one)  in 
G.  cassiaca  Bs.  In  other  species  of  this  genus  I  have  found 
small  round  eggs  with  a  calcareous  shell,  but  these  may  be 
hatched,  before  they  are  deposited  by  the  parent  "  (Blanf.).

striate,  silky,  pellucid,  chestnut-corneous.  Spire  turrite,  the 
apex  rathor  obtuse,  suture  impressed,  whitish,  subcrenulate. 
Whorls  9,  a  little  convex,  the  last  one  not  one-third  the  length, 
rounded  at  base.  Columella  a  little  arcuate,  white-calloused, 
somewhat  twisted,  obliquely  truncate  at  the  base  of  the  sub-

The  initial  half  whorl  is  smooth,  the  next  two  whorls  closely, 
very  regularly  striate  vertically.  Then  the  coarser,  post- 
embryonic  sculpture  begins  (pi.  10,  fig.  4).  The  striation  is 
rather  sharp  but  uneven,  and  the  striae  are  strongest  at  and 
near  the  suture,  decreasing  downwards.  It  resembles  G.  noti- 
gena  somewhat,  but  the  early  whorls  are  not  attenuated,  and 
there  are  2y2  embryonic  whorls. 

Col.  Beddome  remarks:  "  I  found  the  smaller  variety  very 
abundant  on  the  top  of  the  Myhendra  Hill  (Ganjam).  The 
larger  variety,  found  near  Calcutta  and  in  central  India,  and 
well  figured  by  Hanley,  is  a  rare  shell.  It  has  a  shorter  and 
blunter  apex  and  fewer  whorls  than  G.  vandalica,  but  speci- 
mens of  that  species  sometimes  do  duty  for  it  in  collections."

Reeve's  second  locality,  Colombo,  Ceylon,  was  probably  due 
to  an  erroneous  identification.  Col.  Beddome  omits  the  Nil-

specimens  were  labelled  by  H.  Nevill  G.  subbrevis,  but  I  can- 
not see  how  they  differ.  Nevill,  I  think,  saw  only  young  ex-

"  This  is  one  of  the  group  of  small  Indian  Achatinas  com- 
prising A.  gemma  Bens.,  and  A.  scrutillus  B.  From  these  two 
shells  the  present  species  is  distinguished  by  its  conical  spire 
with  straight  and  not  convex  sides,  its  paler  color  and  sculp- 
ture. Both  varieties  are  found  abundantly  crawling  on 
banks,  in  a  garden  at  Nungumbankum,  a  suburb  of  Madras  ' 
(W.  T.  &  H.  F.  Blanford).

"This  shell  resembles  in  form  A.  oreas  Bens.,  but  is  dis- 
tinguished from  that  and  'all  other  allied  species  by  its 
stronger  sculpture.  Possibly  the  two  varieties  should  be 
ranked  apart,  as  there  is  considerable  difference  between 
them.  A  third  form,  shorter  and  more  tumid,  occurs  near 
Poona.  As  other  intermediate  varieties  probably  exist,  I 
prefer  for  the  present  classing  all  in  one  species,  but  it  may 
hereafter  be  desirable  to  distinguish  them."  (Blanf.)

"Full  grown  shells  collected  in  the  Teesta  Valley  near 
Darjiling,  and  in  N.  Canara,  measure  44  mm.  in  length,  and 
have  14  whorls"  (Beddome).  G.  baculina  and  G.  pertenuis 
are  considered  to  be  specifically  inseparable  from  G.  tenui- 
spira by  Col.  Beddome,  a  conclusion  supported  by  the  speci- 
mens before  me.  The  presence  of  this  trans-Gangetic  snail 
in  the  North  Canara  Hills  is  remarkable,  if  indeed,  the  Canara 
shells  are  really  of  the  same  species.

denticulate.  Aperture  oblique,  ovate-triangular;  peristome

duced, vertically  truncate  at  the  base.  Length  38,  diam.  6.5 
to  7.5  mm.;  aperture  7x4  mm.  (Blanf.). 

Khersiong,  Himalayas  of  Sikkim. 

"This  species  appears  to  have  escaped  the  notice  of  all 
previous  collectors  in  Sikkim;  it  was  found  in  association  with 
its  near  ally  G.  tenuispira  Bens.,  by  Dr.  Stoliczka  during  a 
recent  visit.  It  is  easily  distinguished  from  the  latter  species 
by  its  slenderness,  (the  diameter  being  %  of  the  length) 
and  the  comparative  narrowness  of  the  whorls;  moreover  by 
the  form  of  the  columella,  the  lower  part  of  which  is  bent 
abruptly  almost  at  right  angles  with  the  slope  of  the  inner 
lip;  while  in  G.  tenuispira,  G.  erosa,  and  other  allied  forms, 
the  curvature  is  at  the  utmost  obtuse.  Specimens,  the  shell 
of  which  has  been  slightly  weathered,  show  fine  spiral  mark- 
ings, but  these  are  not  visible  unless  the  shell  has  become 
somewhat  opaque.  The  animal  is  dark  leaden  grey,  some- 
what paler  at  the  sides  of  the  foot."  (Blanf.) 

"This  is,  I  believe,  only  a  more  slender  form  of  tenuispira, 
as  I  have  specimens  intermediate  in  breadth ;  as  to  any  differ- 
ence in  the  columella,  some  of  my  specimens  of  tenuispira 
have  the  lower  part  more  bent  than  in  any  of  the  supposed 
baculina  "  (Beddome).

A  much  more  slender  species  than  A.  tenuispira  Bens., 
(a  variety  of  which  also  abounds  in  parts  of  Pegu),  though 
there  are  signs  of  a  passage.  The  present  appears  to  replace 
A.  tenuispira  in  Arakan  and  Bassein.  Mr.  Benson,  to  whom 
I  sent  a  specimen,  observes  that  it  is  intermediate  between 
A.  tenuispira  and  A.  hastula  Bens.  (Blanf.) 

Col.  Beddome  gives  the  localities,  Assam;  Arakan;  Garo 
and  Naga  Hills;  Burma.  He  remarks  that  "  Blanf  ord's 
types  and  all  the  specimens  I  have  seen  of  this,  are  young 
shells,  with  fragile,  unformed  lips.  They  fit  well  with  young 
of  tenuispira.  Blanford  himself  mentions  that  there  are 
signs  of  a  passage,  and  it  would  certainly  not  be  advisable  to 
consider  it  a  good  species  without  seeing  specimens  with  adult 
lip."

Shell  slender,  turrite,  thin,  yellow-corneous,  glossy,

intervals;  this  sculpture  is  most  evenly  developed  just  below 
the  suture.  Under  the  compound  microscope  glimpses  of  ex- 
cessively weak  close  spiral  granule-lines  may  be  seen  in  places. 
Outlines  of  the  spire  nearly  straight,  a  trifle  contracted  near 
the  apex.  Whorls  9*4,  moderately  convex,  separated  by  a 
deeply  impressed  simple  suture.  Aperture  a  little  oblique; 
outer  lip  thin;  columella  rather  long,  regularly  concave,

The  later  whorls  are  decidedly  longer  than  in  G.  tenuispira 
and  its  immediate  allies.  The  specimens  were  received  from 
Nevill  under  the  name  used  above;  they  may  possibly  be

"This  species  is  an  elongate  and  larger  form  of  Glessula 
crassilabris  Bs.,  of  which  G.  pyramis  is  a  closer  variety;  but 
its  much  more  elongate  form  and  stronger  striation  make  it 
a  good  connecting  species  with  G.  butleri  described  further  on.

"I  look  on  all  these  species  as  properly  varieties,  and 
G.  crassilabris,  very  abundant  in  all  the  grass  country  of  the 
Khasi  Hills,  may  be  taken  as  the  type;  a  difference  in  eleva- 
tion and  condition  of  habitat,  from  damp  dark  forest  to  hot 
grassy  slopes,  having  produced  modifications  of  form."

Figs.  15,  16,  are  copied  from  Godwin- Austen 's  originals. 
A  typical  specimen,  length  18.75,  diam.  7.8,  aperture  7.5  mm., 
whorls  slightly  over  7,  is  shown  in  figs.  13,  14.  The  em- 
bryonic whorls  are  closely  and  finely  striate  vertically,  as  in 
G.  notigena;  hence  the  species  has  no  affinity  to  G.  crassilabris. 
It  is  a  much  less  robust  shell  than  G.  crassilabris,  and  less 
polished ;  and  on  the  last  whorl  there  are  traces  of  fine  spiral 
striation,  as  shown  in  fig.  13.  The  sculpture  of  the  later 
whorls  is  irregular;  there  seem  to  be  unequally  separated 
grooves,  with  finer  strige  and  grooves  in  the  intervals,  but 
quite  unequally  developed.  The  suture  is  crenulate.  On  the 
last  whorl  or  two  some  traces  of  spiral  striae  appear,  in  places.

Length  18,  diam.  8,  aperture  7.5x4  mm.,  whorls  8  (Pfr.). 

The  shell  is  ovate-oblong,  yellow.  The  embryonic  whorls 
are  smooth,  a  little  over  two.  Subsequent  sculpture  consists 
of  rather  close  grooves,  most  prominent  at  the  suture,  which  is 
rather  deeply  impressed,  though  the  whorls  are  only  moder- 
ately convex.  The  suture  descends  a  little  near  the  lip.  The 
aperture  is  rather  small,  outer  lip  decidedly  obtuse,  thick- 
ened, its  rounded  edge  bicolored,  white  and  yellow.  The 
outer  lip  is  slightly  retracted  in  the  upper  part.  Length  20.5,

cidedly more  robust  than  illustris,  which  belong  to  a  differ-

Shell  imperforate,  elongate,  subturrite,  thin,  glossy,  trans- 
lucent, pale  corneous,  ornamented  with  radiating  striae.  Spire 
subconic;  whorls  8,  a  little  convex,  the  first  obtuse,  following 
separated  by  a  simple  suture,  a  little  inflated  at  the  suture, 
the  last  whorl  moderately  inflated,  over  one-third  the  total 
length.  Aperture  suboval,  columella  short,  very  deeply  arcu-

Two  embryonic  whorls  are  smooth,  the  last  becoming 
crenulate  below  the  suture.  The  following  whorls  are 
grooved  at  unequal  intervals,  the  grooves  strongest  near  the 
upper  suture,  weakening  near  the  lower.  The  last  whorl  has 
rather  close  grooves  and  wrinkles.  This  sculpture  is  visible 
only  under  a  lens.  The  columella  is  only  moderately  eon- 
cave  in  specimens  I  have  seen,  and  is  very  obliquely  trun- 
cate. The  outer  lip  is  whitish,  a  little  thickened  and  obtuse,

Col.  Beddome  believes  G.  paviei  to  be  a  synonym  of  G.  oreas. 
I  have  been  unable  to  compare  specimens  of  the  latter,  but  I 
think  they  will  prove  distinct.

"  The  height  of  the  visible  part  of  the  penultimate  whorl

the  mountainous  region  of  India,  and  especially  stands  about 
midway  between  oreas  and  jerdoni,  both  from  the  Nilgiris. 
A  similar  species  from  Java  is  Hasselt 's  Acicula  cornea,  fig- 
ured on  his  unpublished  plate  14,  fig.  5,  from  the  mountain

Prof.  Boettger  states  that  by  the  study  of  Mr.  Rolle's  speci- 
mens of  G.  sumatrana,  he  sees  that  G.  javanica  is  identical, 
and  the  latter  name  should  be  withdrawn.  Apparently 
"javanica"  is  an  error  for  cornea.  The  original  account 
follows.

VII.  West  African  species. 

Two  quite  distinct  groups  of  Glessula  are  represented  in 
West  Africa.  The  group  of  G.  l&vigata  has  substantially 
the  shell-structure  of  Indian  Glessulae.  The  shell  is  smooth 
throughout  (species  87,  88).  In  the  group  of  G.  paritura  the 
post-embryonic  whorls  are  finely  rib-striate  (species  89  to  92). 

Group  of  G.  Icevigata. 

The  central  teeth  of  G.  Icsvigata  are  narrow,  not  half  as 
wide  as  the  adjacent  laterals.  There  is  a  well  developed 
but  not  overhanging  cusp.  The  laterals  are  quadrate,  tricus- 
pid,  with  overhanging  cutting-points  on  all  the  cusps.  Middle 
cusp  longer  than  the  basal  plates.  There  are  about  8  laterals, 
then  one  or  two  transitional  teeth,  followed  by  the  marginals, 
also  of  the  tricuspid  type  (pi.  15,  fig.  9).  The  jaw  (pi.  15, 
fig.  10)  is  very  minutely  plaited,  serrate  on  the  cutting  edge, 
at  least  in  places. 

87.  G.  L^VIGATA  (Pfeiffer).     PI.  14,  figs.  9,  11,  12. 

Shell  turrite-oblong,  rather  solid,  smooth,  buff- waxen ;  spire 
elongated,  the  apex  obtuse.  Whorls  6,  but  slightly  convex, 
the  last  about  one-third  the  total  length,  rounded  beneath, 
striolate  anteriorly.  Columella  callous,  somewhat  twisted, 


WEST   AFRICAN    GLESSULA.  107 

obliquely  truncate.  Aperture  oblique,  acuminate-oval,  pearly 
within;  peristome  simple,  acute.  Length  17,  diam.  6  mm. 
(P/V.). 

Habitat  unknown  (Cuming  coll.).  High  on  the  serra  de 
Pedras  de  Guinga,  under  stones,  at  an  elevation  of  3000  ft., 
district  of  Pungo-Andongo,  Angola  (Welwitsch).  "For- 
careach,  Senegambia"  (A.  N.  S.  Coll.).

330. — Homorus  1.,  KOBELT,  C.  Cab.  p.  110. 

Morelet,  who  was  the  first  to  record  a  locality  for  this 
species,  thinks  that  it  must  originally  have  been  found  nearer 
the  coast,  as  it  is  unlikely  that  any  earlier  traveler  had 
visited  the  remote  solitudes  where  Dr.  Welwitsch  found  it. 

The  whorls  are  smooth  except  for  weak  growth-striee,  and 
are  parted  by  a  linear  suture  which  is  transparent-margined 
below.  The  fifth  whorl  appears  disproportionately  wide. 
The  spire  tapers  rapidly  near  the  obtuse  apex,  but  much  more 
slowly  throughout  the  greater  part  of  its  length.  The  ex- 
cision at  the  base  of  the  columella  is  not  very  deep.  Ex- 
amples measure: 

Length  17.5,  diam.  6,  aperture  6.2  mm. ;  whorls  6l/2. 

Length  17,  diam.  6.3,  aperture  6  mm.;  whorls  Qy2. 

Length  16.5,  diam.  5.7,  aperture  6  mm. ;  whorls  6l/2. 

88.  G.  HYALINA  (Rang).     PI.  14,  fig.  16. 

Shell  long-oval,  smooth,  glossy,  very  thin,  transparent  and 
of  a  pale  yellow  tint,  like  horn.  The  spire  is  quite  elevated 
and  obtuse,  composed  of  6  slightly  rounded  whorls,  the  last 
one  larger  than  all  the  others.  Aperture  oval,  rather  long, 
its  plane  parallel  to  the  axis.  The  columella  has  a  projecting 
lobe;  its  edge  is  a  little  reflexed.  Right  margin  unexpanded 
and  thin,  simple  and  continuous  with  the  columella.  Length 
7  to  9,  diam.  3  to  4  mm.  (Rang}. 

Liberia:  Mesurade,  in  crevices  of  rocks  at  the  foot  of  the

This  species  is  viviparous.  The  summit  is  semiglobular ; 
first  11/2  whorls  smooth  in  adults,  but  in  young  shells  they 
show  sparse  engraved  spiral  lines;  then  vertical  grooves  ap- 
pear below  the  suture,  short  and  widely  spaced  at  first,  but 
gradually  lengthening  and  becoming  'Closer,  so  that  at  the 
end  of  2y2  whorls  they  reach  nearly  to  the  suture  below,  and 
become  so  close  that  the  sculpture  may  be  described  as  rib- 


WEST   AFRICAN    GLESSULA.  109 

striate,  the  riblets  smooth,  rounded,  and  about  equal  to  the 
intervals.  On  the  face  of  the  last  whorl  there  are  five  or  six 
riblets  in  one  millimeter.  The  riblets  weaken  or  disappear 
almost  abruptly  at  the  periphery  of  the  last  whorl,  leaving  the 
base  and  a  very  narrow  band  above  the  suture  almost  smooth. 
The  columella  is  formed  just  as  in  the  Indian  Glessulae,  being 
deeply  concave,  thickened  with  a  white  callus,  and  abruptly, 
deeply  truncate  at  the  base.  The  shell  is  translucent  whitish 
under  a  very  thin  pale  yellow  cuticle.  A  specimen  of  the 
ordinary  size  measures,  length  20.3,  diam.  8.8,  aperture  8.3 
mm. ;  whorls  6^. 

An  embryonic  shell,  shaken  out  of  an  adult,  is  oval,  4.7 
mm.  long,  with  3  whorls.  There  is  a  distinct  umbilical  slit 
behind  the  columellar  callus  (pi.  14,  fig.  19).

Shell  thin,  transparent,  of  a  light  gray-olive  tint;  shining, 
though  sculptured  with  very  regular,  crowded  striae  of 
growth,  well-marked  from  the  end  of  the  second  whorl.  Spire 
of  6  or  7  whorls,  very  regularly  conic  after  the  second  whorl. 
Aperture  oblique;  columella  strongly  inflexed  towards  the 
interior  of  the  aperture.  No  umbilicus.  Length  30,  diam. 
11  to  12  mm.  (Chaper}.

This  species  differs  from  G.  paritura  only  by  its  larger 
size,  so  far  as  the  published  account  goes.  Kobelt  confused 
the  name  with  that  of  Corbula  assinicnsis,  which  occurs  on

This  shell,  according  to  Rang,  is  long,  conic,  thin,  almost 
diaphanous,  very  finely  and  regularly  striate;  the  very  thin 
cuticle  covering  it  is  of  a  dirty  yellowish  brown,  resembling 
that  of  Subulina  striatella.  The  summit  is  obtuse,  and  its 
whorls,  6  in  number,  are  quite  rounded.  The  aperture  is 
oval,  little  oblique.  The  columella  is  very  concave  and  trun- 
cate in  front;  the  right  margin  is  straight  and  thin,  fragile 
and  acute.  Deshayes  gives  the  dimensions  22  x  8  mm.  The 
systematic  position  is  unknown,  and  it  may  prove  to  be  a 
Pseudoglessula.  The  spire  is  more  slender  above  than  in 
G.  paritura.

ACHATINA  NYSTIANA  Pfr.  Shell  fusiform-oblong  thin, 
smoothish,  very  delicately  striatulate,  pellucid,  glossy,  flesh- 
colored.  Spire  long,  slender,  the  apex  obtuse,  suture  thread- 
margined,  whorls  6l/2,  a  little  convex,  the  last  about  three- 
sevenths  the  total  length,  tapering  at  base.  Columella  very 
lightly  arcuate,  the  base  shortly  and  horizontally  truncate. 
Aperture  scarcely  oblique,  oval-elliptical,  peristome  simple, 
thin.  Length  47,  diam.  12,  aperture  16y2  x  6  mm.  Habitat 
unknown,  Mus.  Cuming  (Pfr.,  P.  Z.  S.  1855,  p.  100;  and  as

GLANDINA  CRENULATA  Sow.  Ant.,  Pfeiffer.  Shell  fusiform 
ovate,  rather  solid,  reddish-corneous,  glossy;  spire  with  the 
apex  obtuse.  Whorls  6~y2,  a  little  convex,  the  last  descending, 
shorter  than  the  spire;  suture  margined  and  most  minutely 
crenulate.  Aperture  dilated  below,  columella  subarcuate,

is  not  recognizably  denned. 

POIRETIA. 

A  list  of  species  referable  to  this  genus  was  given  in  Vol. 
XIX,  pp.  xxii-xxv.     The  preparation  of  an  index  of  Achatina

change,  as  follows.

POIRETIA  WOODI  Pilsbry. 

New  name  for  Bulimus  convexus  'Edwards'  S.  V.  Wood, 
1877  (Vol.  XIX,  p.  xxiii),  not  of  Pfeiffer,  1855  (cf.  vol.  XI,

Pfeiffer  renamed  the  species  Achatina  antoniana,  Mono- 
graphia  Hel.  Viv.  ii,  p.  285  (1848),  the  original  name  being 
preoccupied.  It  is  probably  a  Leptinaria,  but  it  has  been 
recognized  by  no  author  since  Anton. 

BOCAGEIA  (PETRIOLA)  ANJUANENSIS  Pils.,  n.  n. 

New  name  for  Achatina  cornea  Morelet  1877,  not  of  Bru- 
mati,    1838.     Type   is   the  shell   described   in   Man.    Conch.

Rumina  decollata  paiva  Lowe.     Vol.  XVII,  p.  213,  214. 

It  should  be  observed  that  the  names  lanceolata,  cornea, 
maxima,  flammulata  and  decussata  were  already  in  use  in 
Bulimus,  hence  must  be  dropped  as  homonyms  in  Rumina, 
even  if  the  races  denoted  are  valid,  which  seems  doubtful.

a  Miocene  species  of  Hohemvartiana. 

BULIMULnXE. 
G-enus  HEMIBULIMUS  Marts.,  Vol.  XII,  p.  184. 

Mr.  E.  A.  Smith  (Proc.  Malac.  Soc.  London  VII,  p.  313) 
has  called  attention  to  my  failure  through  oversight  to  in- 
clude Achatina  dennisoni  Reeve  in  the  Manual.  He  has  also 
discussed  the  characters  and  synonyms  of  that  and  other 


HEMIBULIMUS.  115 

species  of  the  group  Hemibulimus,  correcting  various  errors 
which,  by  reason  of  the  scarcity  of  material,  had  been  per- 
petuated from  author  to  author. 

The  relation  of  Hemibulimus  to  Liguus  is  not  very  close 
and  I  now  doubt  the  propriety  of  including  them  in  one 
genus.  Except  in  the  structure  of  the  columella,  Hemi- 
bulimus is  very  similar  to  Porphyrobaphe.

Popayan,  Colombia,  at  2400  meters.  Type  species  of  Hemi- 
bulimus. While  evidently  related  to  dennisoni,  it  is  prob- 
ably distinct,  at  least  varietally,  as  Mr.  Smith  believes.  In 
Vol.  XII  I  followed  Professor  von  Martens  in  uniting  excisus 
and  magnificus.

arched  and  twisted,  attenuately  truncated.  Pale  brown,  varie-

Reeve  described  and  figured  a  shell  from  the  Dennison  col- 
lection. The  present  location  of  the  type  is  unknown.  The 
figure  (copied  on  pi.  40,  fig.  1)  shows  a  pale  red-brown  shell 
with  decidedly  attenuate  early  whorls,  a  brown-spotted  sub- 
sutural  band,  and  two  other  pale  bands  on  the  last  whorl. 
The  parietal  wall  is  purplish  but  not  black.  The  aperture 
is  markedly  acuminate  above.  Judging  from  the  description 


116  HEMffiULIMUS. 

and  figure,  the  sculpture  is  not  so  strong  as  in  the  following 
form;  yet  it  must  be  remembered  that  the  sculpture  is  usu- 
ally minimized  in  Reeve's  figures  of  Achatina. 

H.  D.  CARUS  Pils.,  n.  var.     PI.  40,  figs.  2,  3,  4,  6. 

The  shell  is  elliptic-ovate  with  a  rather  slender  spire  and 
obtuse  apex;  solid  and  strong.  Nearly  2y2  smooth,  convex 
whorls  form  the  semiglobose  embryonic  shell.  The  next  whorl 
is  lightly  striate,  near  its  termination  the  surface  becomes 
minutely  plicate  and  spiral  grooves  appear ;  on  the  next  whorl 
it  is  closely  and  finely  plicate,  the  plicae  cut  by  several  (usually 
5  to  7)  spiral  furrows,  which  appear  as  if  scratched  in  a 
plastic  surface.  On  the  last  whorl  the  fine  plicae  become 
weaker,  irregular,  often  more  or  less  obsolete  towards  the  end 
of  the  whorl;  there  is  more  or  less  indistinct  malleation,  and 
some  irregularity  due  to  former  growth-arrest  periods,  marked 
by  dusky  streaks,  of  which  there  may  be  one  to  four  or  more 
on  the  last  whorl.  The  aperture  is  elliptic-pointed,  outer  lip 
obtuse,  more  or  less  thickened,  expanded  or  effuse  towards  the 
base.  Columella  arched,  usually  very  deeply,  but  sometimes 
only  moderately,  its  lower  portion  colored  like  the  outer  lip; 
base  truncate,  parietal  callus  glossy  black,  overlaid  with  blu- 
ish inwardly.  Color  as  follows : 

(1)  Ground-tint   yellow,   fading   towards   the   apex:  (a) 
brown  spots  below  the  suture  appearing  on  the  first  post- 
embryonic   whorl,   becoming  broad,   more  or  less   fulgurate 
stripes  on  the  penult,  and  next  earlier  whorls;  last  whorl 
showing  three   narrow  equidistant  bands   and   an  irregular 
mottling  of  the  yellow  ground,  elsewhere  olive  and  brown  of 
varying  shades;  outer  lip  and  lower  half  of  columella  edged 
with  vermilion.     (&)  intermediate  whorls  of  the  spire  marked 
with  narrow,  close,  wavy  brown  streaks;  antepenult,  whorl 
with  some  subsutural  spots,  last  whorl  without  bands,  irregu- 
larly streaked  with  dull  green  on  a  greenish  yellow  or  light 
yellow  green  ground;  outer  lip  and  basal  half  of  columella 
bright  ochre. 

(2)  Ground-tint  reddish,     (c)   nearly  uniform  ochraceoua 
reddish,  the  red  predominating  on  the  earlier  whorls;  outer

lip  dull  red,  fading  to  pink  in  the  throat,  (d)  first  post- 
embryonic  whorl  -with  subsutural  spots,  next  whorl  or  two 
closely  streaked  with  dull  red-brown ;  last  whorl  of  a  muddy 
olivaceous  shade,  with  some  darker  brown  streaks;  lip  with 
a  narrow  red  edge  and  dark  submargin.

Achatina  magnified,  REEVE,  Conch.  Icon.  V,  pi.  9,  f.  33. — 
L.  magnificus  Pfr.,  PILSBRY,  Man.  Conch.  XII,  pi.  36a,  f.  30. 
Not  A.  magnified  Pfr. 

This  form  differs  from  Reeve's  figure  of  A.  dennisoni  by 
its  intensely  black  parietal  callus,  and  the  shape  of  the  aper- 
ture, which  is  wider,  less  acuminate  above,  the  outer  lip  be- 
ing arcuate  and  not  straightened  near  the  insertion. 

Reeve's  figure  33,  (copied  in  Manual  XII,  pi.  36a,  fig.  30) 
represents  a  form  differing  from  this  race  only  in  size,  as 
Mr.  E.  A.  Smith  has  pointed  out.  In  the  Manual  I  fol- 
lowed Reeve's  error  in  referring  to  it  as  an  illustration  of 
Achatina  magnifica  Pfr. 

3.  HEMIBULIMUS  MAGNIFICUS  (Pfr.).    PI.  40,  fig.  5. 

See  Vol.  XII,  p.  185,  where  a  translation  of  Pfeiffer's 
description  is  given.  From  the  reference-paragraph  there 
given  the  reference  to  Reeve's  figure  should  be  excluded,  and 
the  following  added:  Liguus  (Hemibulimus)  magnificus 
(Pfr.),  E.  A.  SMITH,  Proc.  Malac.  Soc.  London  VII,  1907; 
p.  314,  fig.  of  type.  This  species  seems  to  be  known  only  by 
the  original  specimen,  said  to  be  from  Quito.  Mr.  Smith's 
figure  of  this  is  copied  on  my  plate.  The  specimens  obtained 
•by  Lehmann  in  southern  Colombia  may  have  been  H. 
dennisoni. 

ACHATINA  MONILE  Swainson.  "Shell  very  finely  reticu- 
lated, whitish  with  waved  stripes,  and  transverse  bands  of 
chestnut  spots ;  basal  volution  subventricose ;  spire  produced,

the  last  two  volutions  close,  and  the  tip  papillary ;  base  nearly 
entire.  Distinct  from,  though  approximating  to,  Bulinus 
zebra  and  undatus," 

(Swainson,  Catalogue  of  the  rare  and  valuable  shells  which 
formed  the  celebrated  collection  of  the  late  Mrs.  Bligh,  Ap- 
pendix, p.  14,  1822 ;  Exotic  Conchology,  edit.  2,  p.  38,  1841) . 

This  seems  to  be  some  such  shell  as  Oxystyla  ferussaci,  or 
some  of  the  forms  represented  on  plate  17  of  vol.  XII ;  yet  the 
"apex  papillary"  recalls  Pseudotrochus  (Perideris) .

PARTULID^E.  155 

Family  PARTULID^E  Pilsibry. 

Partulidce  PILS.,  Proc.  Acad.  Nat.  Sci.  Phila.  1900,  p.  564. 

Orthurethra  in  which  the  kidney  is  triangular,  equal  to  the 
pericardium  in  length.  Genitalia  of  the  haplogonous  type, 
the  penis  without  an  appendix.  Shell  Buliuioid,  with  the 
outer  lip  expanded  or  reflexed  in  known  forms;  the  eolumellar 
lip  reflexed,  curving  into  the  basal  margin,  simple  or  nodu- 
lous; parietal  wall  often  dentate,  but  the  aperture  never  has 
entering  lamellae 

Jaw  very  thin,  formed  of  many  narrow  flat  plaits,  converg- 
ing downward  towards  the  middle.  Radula  broad;  the  cen- 
tral tooth  is  not  much  smaller  than  the  laterals,  and  has  a 
long  middle  and  small  side  cusps;  lateral  teeth  with  the 
mesocone  long,  ectocone  well  developed,  but  no  entocone; 
marginal  teeth  oblique  with  three  cusps  directed  outward,  the 
inner  one  largest. 

Distribution  entirely  insular,  confined  to  high  islands  of 
the  southern  and  western  Pacific.  Nearly  all  the  species  are 
arboreal,  living  on  trees  and  bushes,  but  some  species  of 
Raiatea,  Tahaa,  Tahiti  and  perhaps  the  Caroline  Islands,  are 
terrestrial. 

This  family  is  co-extensive  with  the  following  genus.

156  PARTULA. 

Soft  anatomy  of  Partula. 

The  first  anatomical  observations  on  Partula  were  by 
Ferussac,  who  discovered  that  these  snails  are  viviparous.  He 
erroneously  states  that  they  have  no  tentacles,  only  the  eye- 
pedicels.  The  next  work  was  by  Heynernann,  who  figured 
the  teeth  of  P.  Urata. 

The  following  species  of  Partula  were  dissected  by  Dr.  C. 
Semper  (Reisen  im  Archipel  Philippinen,  Landmollusken, 
pp.  158,  159)  :  P.  canalis  semilineata,  recluziana,  Urata  (pi. 
17,  f.  18,  jaw),  hyalina  (pi.  16,  f.  21,  genitalia),  lineata, 
otaheitana  (pi.  xii,  fig.  21,  genitalia),  vanikorensis  (pi.  17, 
f.  17,  teeth) .  P.  lineata  was  probably  not  correctly  identified. 

In  1875  (Proc.  Acad.  N.  S.  Phila.,  p.  244)  Mr.  W.  G. 
Binney  examined  the  anatomy  of  numerous  Raiatean  species : 
P.  fusca  (pi.  19,  f.  9,  genitalia),  citrina,  planilabrum  ab- 
breviata,  umbilicata  (pi.  19,  f.  7,  genitalia),  bilineata  (pi.  19, 
f.  10,  genitalia),  amanda  (pi.  19,  f.  4,  teeth),  virginea  (pi. 
19,  f.  8,  genitalia,  f.  11,  jaw),  and  gracilis,  besides  several 
unidentified  species.  Some  of  the  same  information  is  re- 
peated in  Annals,  of  the  N.  Y.  Acad.  Sci.  iii,  p.  127. 

I  have  examined  more  or  less  fully  P.  rosea,  P.  varia,  P. 
arguta  and  some  unidentified  Raiatean  species  received  with- 
out the  shell. 

We  have  therefore  some  knowledge  of  the  soft  parts  in 
species  of  the  sections  Partula,  Leptopartula,  Samoana,  and 
Thakombaua,  inhabiting  the  Society,  Samoa  and  Fiji  groups. 

Animal  externally  like  that  of  Bulimulidcu  or  Helicidcs; 
blunt  before,  the  tail  long,  gradually  tapering.  There  are 
no  pedal  furrows,  and  the  sole  is  undivided.  Dorsal  grooves 
weak,  but  the  genital  furrow  is  well  developed.  Genital  pore 
behind  the  right  tentacle,  as  usual.  The  labial  processes  are 
rather  large.  The  mantle  has  very  small  right  and  left 
lobes.  The  tentacles  are  as  well  developed  as  usual  in  land 
snails  (pi.  32,  fig.  10,  P.  canalis}. 

Garrett  writes:  "The  examination  of  the  animals  of  the 
various  species  has  convinced  me  that  they  possess  no  re- 
liable external  features  that  will  aid  in  their  determination. 


PARTULA.  157 

The  coloration  in  all  the  species  varies  from  pale  cinereous, 
through  all  the  intermediate  shades,  to  black  or  dusky  slate. 
The  'arboreal  species  are  generally  lighter  colored  than  the 
ground  species,  and  have  a  more  expanded  creeping-disk. 
The  animals  of  P.  arguta,  annectens,  turgida  and  attenuata, 
have  the  ocular  tentacles  longer  and  more  slender  than  the 
other  species,  and  the  exudation  of  mucus  is  much  more 
copious  and  more  viscid  or  tenacious  than  usual,  resembling 
in  that  respect  the  same  difference  as  exists  between  the  typi- 
cal Helices  and  the  arboreal  Naninae. " 

The  pallial  organs  are  characterized  by  the  short,  more 
or  less  triangular  kidney,  with  a  direct  ureter  which  does  not 
extend  to  the  collar,  and  opens  by  a  lateral  pore.  The  peri- 
cardium is  as  long  as  the  kidney.  The  surface  of  the  lung 
shows  no  visible  venation.  It  is  densely  peppered  with 
light  dots  (probably  calcareous)  arranged  in  irregular  lon- 
gitudinal lines.  In  P.  arguta  these  light  dots  are  present  in 
spots  and  stripes  (pi.  42,  fig.  4),  but  in  other  species  examined 
they  are  equally  and  densely  spread  over  the  whole  surface. 

In  P.  rosea  (pi.  42,  fig.  5,  x  3)  the  kidney  is  very  short 
and  strictly  triangular.  According  to  Semper,  that  of  P. 
canalis  seems  to  be  of  the  same  form.  In  P.  arguta  (pi.  42, 
fig.  4)  the  kidney  is  relatively  larger,  and  the  pericardium 
lies  parallel  to  its  longer  axis.  The  ureter  also  is  longer. 
In  an  undetermined  Raiatean  species  (doubtless  of  the  re- 
stricted section  Partula)  the  kidney  approaches  the  band- 
like  type  (pi.  42,  fig.  6),  yet  it  is  somewhat  triangular,  and 
equal  to  the  pericardium  in  length.  This  is  probably  the 
prevalent  shape  of  kidney,  since  Semper  mentions  that  all 
the  species  examined  by  him  except  canalis  had  the  kidney, 
"bandformig. "  In  most  of  the  subgenera  the  kidney  is 
unknown. 

The  alimentary  canal  is  of  the  usual  four-folded  type. 
There  is  a  fusiform  crop  (pi.  42,  fig.  5). 

The  jaw  is  very  thin  and  transparent,  varying  from  slightly 
arcuate  to  horseshoe-shaped,  similar  to  that  of  Drymczus 
and  Zaplagius,  formed  by  the  union  of  many  narrow  delicate 


158  PARTULA. 

plates,  which  converge  towards  the  middle,  so  that  there  are 
short  plates  where  the  two  series  meet  (pi.  42,  fig.  1  jaw  of 
P.  lirata,  after  Semper;  fig.  2,  central  portion  of  jaw  of 
P.  gracilis  Pse.,  after  Binney). 

The  num'ber  of  plates  on  the  two  sides  is  unequal,  there 
being  in  lineata  27.36,  in  recluziana  34.38,  in  otaheitana  40.50 
according  to  Semper. 

The  radula  is  broad.  The  teeth  form  thrice  bent  transverse 
rows,  as  shown  in  pi.  15,  fig.  11,  a  half  row  of  teeth  of 
P.  lirata.  The  central  teeth  have  the  usual  quadrate  basal 
plates.  In  P.  amanda,  P.  rosea,  P.  varia  etc.  the  length  of 
the  basal  plate  is  about  twice  its  width  in  the  middle;  the 
middle  cusp  is  long,  reaching  to  or  over  the  posterior  border 
of  the  basal  plate.  Side  cusps  represented  by  cutting-points, 
only.  The  lateral  teeth  are  larger,  with  the  mesocone  longer, 
outer  cusp  well  developed  with  a  strong  cutting-point  (pi. 
43,  fig.  1,  P.  varia  huaheinensis  Garrett;  fig.  2,  P.  rosea 
Brod.).  There  are  11  lateral  teeth  on  each  side  in  P.  rosea 
and  planilabrum;  10  in  abbreviata,  amanda,  otaheitana;  8  or 
9  in  varia,  umbilicata,  virginea,  bilineata,  kyalina,  lineata, 
recluziana,  canalis;  5  in  gracilis.  The  marginal  teeth  are 
peculiar  in  form,  having  a  long,  curved  basal  plate  and  3 
cusps,  the  inner  largest,  the  other  two  directed  outward  (pi. 
15,  fig.  8,  13th  to  15th  teeth  of  P.  rosea}.  They  are  numer- 
ous, over  120  in  P.  virginea. 

The  Fijian  P.  lirata  differs  from  the  Society  Island  species 
examined  by  Binney  and  myself  by  having  the  central  and 
lateral  teeth  shorter  and  wider,  the  central  scarcely  longer 
than  wide.  There  are  7  lateral  and  over  50  marginal  teeth, 
the  latter  of  typical  shape  (pi.  15,  figs.  11,  12,  P.  lirata  after 
Heynemann) . 

The  radula  has  been  examined  in  numerous  species  from 
the  Society,  Fiji  and  Samoan  Islands,  'by  Heynemann,  Binney, 
and  Semper.  I  have  examined  it  in  P.  rosea  and  varia. 

Genitalia  (pi.  43,  fig.  5,  P.  rosea). — The  penis  is  well  de- 
veloped. It  is  more  or  less  distinctly  contracted  near  the 
distal  end,  which  is  swollen.  Internally  the  lower  portion  is 


PARTULA.  159 

Coarsely  wrinkled,  the  upper  portion  densely  granulose  and 
coarsely  plicate.  The  retractor  muscle  is  terminal.  The  vas 
deferens  opens  below  a  papilla  situated  at  about  the  lower 
third  of  the  granulose  portion ;  it  is  therefore  not  terminal  on 
the  penis.  It  is  superficially  bound  to  the  penis,  to  the 
vagina  and  the  basal  part  of  the  spermatheca,  then  free  as 
far  as  the  upper  end  of  the  oviduct,  where  it  is  again  adnate 
for  a  short  distance.  The  ovisperm  duct  is  strongly  knotted, 
as  usual.  The  'basal  part  of  the  spermatheca-duct  is  much 
swollen  in  P.  rosea  and  P.  fusca,  the  distal  end  tapering; 
but  in  P.  bilineata  (pi.  43,  fig.  3,  after  Binney)  umbilicata, 
virginea,  otaheitana  and  hyalina  the  spermetheca  is  oblong, 
obtuse  distally,  and  seated  upon  a  slender  duct.  In  all  the 
species  which  have  been  examined  the  duct  is  short. 

Reproduction  seems  to  'be  ovo-viviparous.  The  upper  part 
of  the  oviduct  contains  oblong  egg-capsules  having  a  cal- 
careous shell,  which  lower  down  in  the  oviduct  becomes  dis- 
solved or  is  consumed  by  the  embryo.  From  one  to  five  eggs 
or  young  are  found  in  one  individual. 

Free  muscles: — In  P.  rosea  (pi.  43,  fig.  4).  The  pharyngeal 
retractor  is  free  to  its  proximal  insertion.  At  about  the 
middle  of  its  length  the  left  ocular  and  tentacular  retractor 
band  joins  it,  and  a  little  farther  out  the  anterior  pedal  re- 
tractors branch  off.  The  broad  posterior  pedal  retractor 
(tail  retractor  or  columellar  muscle)  remains  united  far 
forward  with  the  right  ocular  and  tentacular  retractor,  which 
gives  off  a  group  of  small  anterior  pedal  retractor  muscles. 
The  right  ocular  band  passes  between  the  male  and  female 
branches  of  the  genitalia. 

This  muscle  system  differs  from  that  of  Achatinella  dolei 
chiefly  by  the  union  of  the  right  ocular  with  the  tail  retractor. 
In  Achatinella  both  ocular  bands  are  free. 

Relationships  of  Partulidc?. 

This  family  is  one  of  the  most  sharply  defined  in  the 
Orthurethra.  By  its  short  kidney,  about  equal  to  the 
pericardium,  it  differs  conspicuously  from  the  Enidce, 


160  PARTULA. 

Ferussacidce,  Amastrida  and  Achatinellidce,  all  of  which 
have  the  kidney  very  long,  far  exceeding  the  pericar- 
dium. For  comparison  I  figure  the  pallial  region  of  Ena 
reiniana  (Bidiminus  reinianus  Kob.),  pi.  42,  fig.  3,  x  2.  In 
the  genitalia,  the  Partulida  are  remarkable  for  the  absence 
of  an  appendix,  the  penis  being  simple.  This  organ  is  pres- 
ent and  highly  developed  in  all  the  other  families.  The  vas 
deferens  is  practically  free  from  the  oviduct,  its  adhesions 
being  merely  superficial.  This  is  a  somewhat  unusual  con- 
dition, and  where  found  it  seems  to  be  associated  with  vivip- 
arous reproduction.  The  shell  is  rather  characteristic;  in 
form  some  En-idce  are  similar,  yet  the  spirally  striate  em- 
bryonic whorls  are  unlike  that  family,  and  are  an  invariable 
feature  of  Partulidce,  though  occasionally  this  sculpture  is 
lost  by  wear  in  adult  or  old  shells.  This  is  not  in  itself  a 
feature  of  much  importance,  yet  so  far  as  I  know,  there  is 
no  other  Bulimoid  snail  with  an  expanded  or  reflexed  lip 
which  has  spirally  striate  embryonic  whorls. 

From  these  comparisons  it  will  be  seen  that  the  Partulidce 
stand  somewhat  isolated.  There  is  no  family  of  Bulimoid 
or  Achatinoid  Orthurethra  which  can  be  said  to  be  nearer 
than  any  other  to  the  Partidida,  so  far  as  present  informa- 
tion goes. 

Hybridism. 

In  dealing  with  Society  Island  species  both  Mr.  G-arrett 
and  Dr.  Hartman  have  called  attention  to  certain  specimens 
of  intermediate  character  which  they  looked  upon  as  hybrids 
between  species  commonly  considered  to  be  distinct.  Garrett 
writes  as  follows:  "  Hybrids  between  P.  elongata  and  P. 
tceniata,  and  between  P.  garretti  and  P.  thalia,  are  so  com- 
mon where  those  species  come  in  contact,  that  I  am  inclined 
to  believe  they  possess  a  certain  degree  of  fertility.  I  have 
also  detected  several  hybrids  between  P.  faba  var.  subangu- 
lata,  and  P.  virginea ;  one  between  the  arboreal  P.  imperforata 
and  the  terrestrial  P.  lugubris;  two  between  P.  lineata  var. 
strigosa,  and  P.  tceniata ;  about  a  dozen  between  the  arboreal 


PARTULA. 


161 


P.  faba  and  the  terrestrial  P.  radiata;  a  number  between 
P.  faba  and  P.  fusca,  and  many  between  the  latter  and  P. 
navigatoria,  as  well  as  many  between  the  latter  and  P.  faba. 
I  failed  to  detect  hybrids  between  the  Tahitian  species,  and 
found  none  at  Huaheine. ' ' 

As  a  general  proposition,  apparent  evidence  of  hybridism 
among  land  snails  is  so  unusual  in  a  state  of  nature  that 
one  is  inclined  to  believe  that  well-established  species  very 
rarely  hybridize.  In  the  few  species  tested  experimentally 
(such  as  Lang's  crosses  between  Helix  nemoralis  and 
hortensis)  the  progeny  are  not  abundant  and  crosses  between 
them  are  almost  sterile.  It  must  be  remembered,  however, 
that  the  Moorean  and  Raiatean  species  mentioned  as  hybrid- 
izing by  Garrett  are  very  closely  related  forms,  which  have 
for  the  most  part  scarcely  reached  the  "specific"  stage  of 
differentiation;  hence  it  is  not  inherently  improbable  that 
hybrids  occur. 

In  the  case  of  species  between  which  supposed  hybrids  are 
"common,"  I  would  rather  explain  the  intermediate  forms 
occurring  on  the  overlapping  confines  of  the  two  "pure" 
races  as  an  undifferentiated  remnant  of  the  parent  stock 
which  has  elsewhere  become  "specifically"  differentiated. 
Pending  experimental  evidence  to  the  contrary,  this  view 
seems  in  accordance  with  what  seems  to  occur  in  a  multi- 
tude of  other  cases,  whereas  hybridism  on  an  extensive  scale 
is  certainly  a  very  rare  condition. 

Variation  in  Partula. 

Extended  study  of  variation  does  not  come  within  the  plan 
of  the  present  work,  the  purpose  of  this  Manual  being  the 
definition  of  species  and  their  systematic  classification. 
Moreover,  the  materials  for  a  study  of  variation — large,  un- 
selected  series  of  shells — are  not  accessible  to  me;  my  per- 
sonal knowledge  of  them  is  restricted  to  museum  specimens, 
which  as  usually  preserved  and  labelled  give  little  idea  of  the 
assO'ciation  of  forms  or  the  conditions  of  their  existence. 
Some  general  considerations  bearing  upon  variation  may  how- 
ever be  in  order. 


162  PARTULA. 

Most  species  of  Partula  are  neither  more  nor  less  variable 
than  the  generality  of  snails  living  in  exposed  situations 
elsewhere.  It  is  only  in  the  Society  Islands  that  species  oc- 
cur having  a  variety  of  well-developed  color-patterns.  In  this 
respect  they  resemble  many  other  genera  of  arboreal  snails, 
such  as  Ampliidromus,  Liguus,  Hemitrochus,  Polymita, 
Drymccus  etc.,  etc.  All  arboreal  snails  were  derived  from 
terrestrial  forms ;  and  almost  invariably,  with  arboreal  habits 
they  assume  variegated  color-patterns.  In  many  cases  the 
colors  or  patterns  seem  to  be  protective  (cryptic  or  warning), 
but  as  often  they  are  not  so,  to  our  eyes.  The  color-patterns 
in  arboreal  snails  seem  to  be  very  readily  modified,  new 
sports  or  mutations  arising,  which  are  perpetuated,  prob- 
ably in  Mendelian  ratio,  in  the  parent  colonies.  This  has 
not  yet  been  tested  experimentally  in  Partula;  yet  from  the 
complex  nature  of  many  colonies,  in  which  snails  of  several 
•distinct  color-patterns  co-exist  and  interbreed  (being  found 
together  in  the  uterus  of  a  single  mother) ,  I  have  little  doubt 
that  pedigree  cultures  would  reveal  a  Mendelian  mixture. 

Another  common  'condition  among  tree-snails  is  the  sim- 
plification or  absence  of  pattern,  by  variation  in  the  "color- 
factor,"  whereby  patterns  characteristic  of  species  or  phyla 
become  in  part  or  entirely  latent  in  individuals  or  races. 
Cf.  the  Pentata-nmte  snails,  Drymcuus,  Ampliidromus  etc. 
Some  species  of  Partula,  such  as  P.  liyalina,  are  apparently 
albinistic;  but  in  at  least  a  part  of  these  (P.  arguta)  the 
mantle  is  variegated,  showing  through  the  transparent  shell, 
which  in  life  should  vicariously  show  a  pattern. 

Probably  most  "species"  of  snails  and  other  sedentary 
animals  are  in  reality  more  or  less  complex  groups,  though 
in  plain-colored  forms  their  composite  constitution  is  not 
obvious.  In  some  of  the  plain,  ground-living  American  snails, 
such  as  Omphalina,  the  diversity  in  number  of  teeth  of  the 
radula  among  different  colonies  points  to  this  conclusion. 

In  the  Society  Islands,  where  alone  the  distribution  of 
Partula  has  been  studied,  most  species  and  races  are  strictly 
limited  to  small  areas,  a  single  valley,  or  several  'contiguous 


PARTULA.  163 

valleys.  The  topographic  barriers  (ridges  unsuitable  for 
Partula?)  are  evidently  older  than  the  races  so  isolated,  which 
are  the  modified  descendants  of  stocks  once  widely  diffused. 
Diverse  mutations  soon  result  in  racial  differentiation  in 
such  isolated  colonies,  whether  the  process  can  be  aided  by  di- 
versity of  environment  or  not.  On  a  small  scale  this  is  illus- 
trated by  the  colonies  of  Helix  nemoralis  in  Burlington,  New 
Jersey,  all  descended  from  a  single  colony  planted  about  50 
years  ago,  yet  now  showing  incipient  racial  traits  in  the 
several  colonies  scattered  over  the  town. 

Gulick,  in  his  "Evolution,  Racial  and  Habitudinal"  p.  220 
has  directed  attention  to  the  fact  that  arboreal  snails  do  not 
have  the  facility  in  migrating  enjoyed  by  terrestrial  species, 
and  hence  are  more  subject  to  local  differentiation  brought 
about  by  isolation. 

Dr.  A.  G.  Mayer  writes:  "It  is  probable  that  geographical 
isolation  plays  a  most  important  part  in  the  formation  of 
new  species.  If  two  valleys  be  adjacent,  their  snails  are 
closely  related  each  to  each,  whereas  the  wider  the  separation 
between  any  two  valleys,  the  more  distant  the  relationship 
between  their  snails.  The  ridges  between  the  valleys,  being 
either  barren  or  covered  with  vegetation  unsuitable  to  the 
snails,  affords  barriers  over  which  the  animals  must  find  it 
more  or  less  difficult  to  pass.  Thus  the  Partuke  in  the 
Tahitian  valleys  are  isolated  very  much  as.  are  the  Achati- 
nellidas  of  Oahu  in  the  Hawaiian  Islands. 

"In  Tahiti  the  snails  are  most  abundant  in  the  valley- 
bottoms,  where  they  usually  occur  on  the  under  sides  of  the 
leaves  of  Caladium  and  Plantain,  although  in  some  valleys 
they  are  frequently  found  on  Dracaena  and  Turmeric.  Al- 
though more  abundant  in  the  bottom,  they  extend  for  some 
distance  up  the  sides  of  the  valley  and  appear  to  be  present 
in  most  places  where  the  plants  which  they  affect  are  found. 
As  far  as  the  very  limited  observation  of  the  writer  goes, 
there  appears  to  be  no  difference  in  the  character  of  the 
snails  in  different  parts  of  the  same  valley.  The  difference 
between  any  two  adjacent  valleys  is,  however,  very  marked."

Fossil  Partulida:. 

No  fossil  Partulge  are  known.  The  ancestors  of  this  family 
lie  buried  under  the  South  Pacific.  Several  Eocene  and 
Oligoeene  species  have  been  described  as  Partulas,  as  follows : 

Partula  americana  Heilprin,  Trans.  Wagner  Free  Institute 
of  Science  i,  p.  115,  pi.  16,  f.  60  (1887)  =  Hyperaulax 
americanus  (Heilprin),  Man.  Conch.  XIV,  p.  103.  Oligocene, 
Tampa  Silex  bed,  Florida. 

Partula  vicentina  Oppenheim,  Denkschriften  der  Kaiser- 
lichen  Akademie  der  Wissenschaften  vol.  57,  1890,  p.  125, 
pi.  2,  f.  10-10&.  Zeitschrift  Deutschen  Geol.  Gesellschaft, 
vol.  47,  1895,  p.  104.  Eocene.  Red  tuffs  of  Capitello,  Sta. 
Catterina  above  Altissimo,  etc. 

Partula  dautzenbergi  Cossmann,  Annales  de  la  Societe 
Royale  Zoologique  et  Malacologique  de  Belgique,  xli,  1906, 
p.  280,  pi.  8,  f.  267&is-l.  Sparnacien  stage  of  the  Eocene,, 
at  Grauves,  Paris  Basin. 

The  reference  of  these  forms  to  Partula  is  purely  fanciful. 
The  American  species  is  referable  to  a  genus  of  Bulimulidre, 
Hyperaidax.  Well-preserved  specimens  have  not  the  char- 
acteristic apical  sculpture  of  all  known  Partulidge.  The 
European  Eocene  forms  offer  no  character  whatever  separ- 
ating them  from  ''Buliminus"  (Enidae).  Their  reference 
to  Partula  rose  from  the  fallacious  method  of  trying  to  exactly 
match  the  fossil  shell  with  some  recent  species,  ignoring  the 
obvious  fact  that  details  of  contour  are  constantly  changing 
in  the  evolution  of  any  group,  and  offer  no  features  diagnostic 
of  genera  in  Bulimini,  Bulimuli  or  Partulae.  The  Eocene 
forms  in  question  have  not  been  shown  to  have  the  embryonic 
sculpture  of  Partula. 

Classification  of  Partulidce. 

This  family  contains  the  single  genus  Partula.  It  is  quite 
possible  that  when  the  forms  of  Micronesia,  Melanesia  etc. 


PARTULA.  165 

are  investigated  anatomically,  a  further  generic  division 
may  foe  made.  There  are  two  rather  dissimilar  forms  of 
kidney  among  the  Polynesian  species,  though  at  present  we 
do  not  know  enough  species  anatomically  to  utilize  this  fact 
m  taxonomy.  By  conchological  characters  nine  divisions  are 
indicated,  herein  called  "sections."  In  all  cases  these  sec- 
tions are  geographically  limited  to  single  island-groups,  or 
to  several  adjacent  groups.  Five  of  the  nine  sections  of 
Partula  have  already  been  named  by  Dr.  Hartman,  who 
unfortunately  used  preoccupied  names,  and  in  most  cases 
understood  the  groups  in  limits  different  from  mine.  He 
also  split  the  typical  group  of  Partulas  into  numerous  sub- 
genera  which  seem  to  me  superfluous.  The  subgenera  here- 
in established  are  as  follows. 

MARQUESANA  Pilsbry.  Embryonic  whorls  coarsely  pitted 
along  the  spirals ;  post-embryonic  whorls  with  very  well  de- 
veloped spiral  lines ;  lip  .thin  but  often  widely  reflexed ;  colors 
not  bright,  a  subperipheral  band  frequently  present,  but 
no  others;  cuticle  thin,  often  deciduous.  Type  P.  gany- 
medes.  This  group  includes  all  known  Marquesan  species, 
no.  1  to  6. 

LEPTOPARTULA  Pils.  Shells  ovate  with  short  spire,  com- 
posed of  few  (4  to  4^/2)  whorls;  very  thin  and  fragile,  sub- 
transparent,  pale  colored ;  aperture  large,  ovate,  toothless, 
lip  expanded,  not  thickened.  Type  P.  arguta.  Huaheine  and 
Raiatea,  Society  Is.  Species  no.  7  and  8. 

PARTULA  s.  sir.  Shell  ovate,  usually  solid  and  with  opaque 
coloring,  often  in  bands  or  streaks;  lip  thickened  within,  the 
callus  not  extending  to  the  upper  insertion ;  parietal  wall 
often  toothed.  Society,  Austral  and  Hervey  Is.,  species  9- 
52,  and  probably  Samoan  and  Tonga  Is.,  species  60-62. 

SAMOANA  Pils.  The  shell  is  very  openly  umbilicate,  dex- 
tral  or  sinistral,  with  flatly  reflexed  lip  and  no  teeth.  Type 
P.  canalis.  Samoan  Is.,  species  53  to  58. 

THAKOMBAUA  Pils.  Shell  rimate,  long-ovate,  the  later 
whorls  sculptured  with  coarse  spiral  cords.  A  low  callous 
tubercle  on  the  parietal  wall  far  within.  Type  P.  lirata,  no. 


166  PARTULA. 

63.  Fiji  Is.  This  is  the  only  group  having  raised  spiral 
sculpture. 

MELANESICA  Pils.  Shell  rimate  or  umbilicate,  ovate  or 
pyramidal,  thin,  corneous,  greenish-yellow  or  pale  brown, 
uniform  or  obliquely  streaked,  not  banded;  aperture  simple, 
the  peristome  expanded  or  reflexed.  Type  P.  turneri.  Me- 
lanesia, one  species  in  Samoa.  Species  no.  59,  64  to  101. 

A  large  group  of  species  simple  in  form  and  coloring. 

PALAOPARTULA  Pils.  Long  forms  with  the  spire 
straightly  conic,  embryonic  whorls  high,  the  later  ones 
deeply  engraved  spirally,  saccate  below.  Umbilical  area 
very  ample,  deeply  perforate ;  aperture  unusually  long,  tooth- 
less, the  lip  thin  and  very  broadly  reflexed.  Type  P.  thetis. 
Pelew  Islands.  Species  102  to  104. 

CAROLINELLA  Pils.  Perforate,  rather  solid,  opaque  and 
ventricose  species  of  dull  or  brown  coloration,  aperture  large 
and  toothless.  They  have  the  appearance  of  ground  snails. 
Type  P.  guamensis.  Caroline  Islands.  Species  105  to  107. 

MARIANELLA  Pils.  Shell  ovate  or  inflated,  with  a  small 
umbilicus,  the  lip  somewhat  thickened  within,  parietal  wall 
plain  or  bearing  a  low  nodule  deep  within;  colors  rather 
bright.  Type  P.  gibba.  Marianne  Is.  Species  109  to  111. 

Geographic  distribution  of  the  Partulidce. 

Snails  of  this  family  are  confined  to  the  high  islands  of  the 
south  and  western  Pacific.  Not  one  species  has  ever  been 
found  on  an  atoll  or  low  island.  In  most  island  groups  all 
of  the  Partulae  belong  to  a  single  stock,  but  in  a  few,  notably 
the  Society  and  Samoan  groups,  several  phyla  are  repre- 
sented. Each  of  the  subgenera  or  sections  is  confined  to  a 
single  archipelago,  or  to  several  adjacent  island- groups;  and 
with  the  single  exception  of  P.  hyalina,  no  species  is  known 
to  inhabit  more  than  one  island-group,  while  a  great  majority 
of  the  forms  live  on  but  one  island.  The  distribution  of 
Partulas  is  remarkably  consistent,  and  lends  no  support  to  the 
idea  that  their  dispersal  has  been  due  to  drifting  by  ocean 
currents,  or  any  other  "accidental"  means  of  over-sea  carri- 


PARTULA.  167 

age.  Their  distribution  is  what  would  be  expected  were  the 
present  archipelagos  remnants  of  a  former  continent,  now  iso- 
lated by  subsidence.  This  continent,  from  the  absence  of  all  of 
the  higher  families  of  land  snails  on  the  islands  remaining,  I 
have  conjectured  to  have  been  isolated  since  Palaeozoic  times, 
though  the  final  dismemberment  of  its  various  components 
was  doubtless  much  later.  (See  Pilsbry,  The  Genesis  of 
Mid-Pacific  Faunas,  Proc.  Acad.  Nat,  Sci.  Phila.  1900,  p.  568) . 
Such  groups  as  the  Society  Islands  or  Fijis  may  well  have 
existed  as  rather  large  land  masses  as  late  as  middle  Tertiary 
times.  Indeed,  this  hypothesis  would  seem  to  be  an  essen- 
tial part  of  any  attempt  to  explain  the  distribution  of  land 
snails  in  most  of  the  groups  of  high  islands. 

The  most  convenient  grouping  of  species  for  the  purposes 
of  this  monograph  is  by  geographic  range.  The  following 
divisions  are  used. 

I.  Marquesas  Islands,  species  1  to  6. 

II.  Society  Islands,  species  7  to  50. 

III.  Austral  and  Hervey  Islands,  species  9,  52. 

IV.  Samoan  Islands,  species  53  to  60. 

V.  Fiji  Is.,  Kotuma  and  Tonga  Is.,  species  61  to  63. 
VI.  New  Hebrides  and  Santa  Cruz  groups,  species  64  to  80. 
VII.  Solomon  Islands,  species  81  to  91. 
VIII.  New  Ireland,   New  Britain,   etc.,   and   Admiralty   Is., 

species  92  to  96. 
IX.  Louisiade     Archipelago,     including     Trobriand     and 

Woodlark  Is. ;  New  Guinea,     Species  97  to  100. 
X.  Talauer  Is.,  species  101. 
XI.  Pelew  Islands,  species  102  to  104. 
XII.  Caroline  Islands,  species  105  to  108. 

XIII.  Marianne  Islands  (Guam),  species  109  to  111. 

XIV.  Snails  of  other  genera  described  as  Partulse. 

XV.  Species  of  uncertain  or  unknown  habitat,  species  12, 
21,  47,  48,  49,  50,  51,  60,  72,  86,  94.

Hartm.,  op.  cit.  p.  12,  type  P.  ganymedes  Pfr.  (not  Latia 
Gray,  1849). 

Partulas  having  the  embryonic  shell  coarsely  pitted  along 
the  spirals;  post-embryonic  whorls  with  very  well  developed 
spiral  striation;  lip  thin  but  often  wide.  Colors  not  bright; 
the  cuticle  thin,  often  deciduous;  a  subperipheral  band  fre- 
quently present,  but  no  others.  Type  P.  ganymedes. 

Species  of  Partula  are  known  from  five  of  the  nine  high 
islands  of  the  Marquesan  group,  the  others  being  unknown 
conchologically.  They  are  distributed  as  follows: 

Nukuhiva  :  P.  strigata  varieties. 

Huapu:  P.  strigata  (?),  P.  bellula. 

Hivaoa:  P.  inflata,  P.  ganymedes,  P.  bellula,  P.  decussatula. 

Tahuata:  P.  inflata. 

Fatuhiva:  P.  magdalinae. 

The  predominance  of  species  on  Hivaoa  may  be  due  to  its 
being  more  fully  explored.  It  is  the  largest  island  next  to

two  islands  is  remarkable,  if  indeed  it  proves  to  be  the  fact. 
It  seems  likely  that  further  research  would  greatly  augment 
the  brief  list  of  Marquesan  Partulas.

1.  P.  INFLATA  Reeve.     PI.  30,  figs.  1,  2,  3. 

Shell  openly  umbilicate,  globose-conic,  rather  thin,  luster- 
less  or  nearly  so,  varied  in  color:  (1)  white,  usually  with 
some  trace  of  an  olive  subperipheral  band.  (2)  white,  suf- 
fused and  obliquely  streaked  with  brown  in  a  broad  median 
belt,  abruptly  darker  below  the  periphery;  spire  corneous. 
(3)  reddish  or  dull  chestnut  brown,  more  or  less  streaked, 
and  sometimes  white  below  the  sutures;  reverse  of  the  lip 
and  columella  white.  Of  the  2y2  embryonic  whorls  the  first 
half  whorl  or  more  is  smooth,  the  rest  pitted  along  the  spirals. 
The  rest  of  the  shell  is  sculptured  with  very  distinct,  close 
waved  spiral  striae.  Spire  is  straightly  conic,  suture  moder- 
ately impressed.  Whorls  5%,  convex,  the  last  whorl  sivollen 
in  the  peripheral  region  except  for  the  space  of  a  third  or 
fourth  of  a  whorl  behind  the  lip,  where  it  is  compressed ;  this 
gives  a  humped  appearance  to  the  back  of  the  shell.  Aper- 
ture ovate;  lip  broad,  white,  flatly  reflexed,  thickened  with- 
in; columella  broad,  with  a  deep-seated  fold  above,  visible 
in  oblique  view.

Remarkable  for  its  gibbous  last  whorl  and  broad  white  lip. 
The  very  thin  cuticle  is  more  or  less  wholly  lost  in  most 
adult  shells.  The  examples  described  are  from  the  island  of 
Taiwata  (=>  Tahuata)  ;  whether  those  reported  from  Dom-

This  species  is  variable  in  size,  the  degree  to  which  the 
cuticle  is  lost,  and  the  color  of  what  remains.  Specimens  of 
one  lot  measure : 

Length  22,  diam.  13,  length  aperture  12.8  mm. ;  whorls 

Length  20,  diam.  11.3,  length  aperture  11.1  mm. ;  whorls

PARTULA,    MARQUESAS   ISLANDS.  171 

either  entirely  lost,  or  only  a  belt  remains  at  and  below  the 
periphery,  in  adult  shells.  The  upper  edge  of  the  subperi- 
pheral  brown  band  often  shows  as  a  thin  line  above  the  sutures 
of  the  spire;  but  frequently  a  mere  brown  line  replaces  the 
band,  and  is  concealed  on  the  spire  (fig.  5). 

In  another  form  of  the  species,  the  cuticle  is  removed  in  a 
zone  below  the  suture.  This  zone  may  be  wide  or  narrow; 
the  remaining  portion  of  the  last  whorl — usually  half  to  three- 
fourths --is  covered  with  greenish  or  dull  brown  cuticle. 
These  variations  seem  to  be  characteristic  of  different  colonies. 

The  beautifully  developed  spiral  striation  is  characteristic 
of  all  forms.  The  lip  is  flatly  reflected,  thickened  at  the  inner 
rim,  and  rather  abruptly  narrowed  near  the  upper  angle. 
The  umbilical  crevice  is  widely  open.

The  shell  is  openly  umbilicate,  acutely  ovate,  rather  thin, 
dingy  olive-brown,  the  latter  part  of  the  last  whorl  light 
cream-brownish  with  a  few  darker  oblique  streaks,  and  an 
orange  streak  in  the  angle  behind  the  lip.  Sculpture  of  fine, 
waved  spiral  lines.  Embryonic  shell  of  2y2  whorls,  coarsely 
pitted  in  spiral  lines  except  the  smoothish  initial  half  whorl. 
Whorls  4%,  convex,  the  last  evenly  rounded.  The  aperture  is 
ovate,  oblique,  peristome  flesh-tinted,  flatly  reflexed,  rather 
narrow,  thickened  within  except  near  the  upper  angle.

The  types,  one  of  which  was  figured  in  A.  J.  C.  iv,  are  before 
me.  The  above  description  and  figs.  8  and  12  were  drawn 
from  them.  Pease  gave  simply  Marquesas  as  the  habitat,  but 
Garrett  istated  that  ' '  Pease 's  shells  were  collected  by  a  native 
missionary  residing  on  Woapo. "  This  island  lies  south  of 
Nukahiva.  In  his  Marquesan  catalogue  of  1887  Garrett 
places  strigata  as  a  synonym  of  recta,  without  remark. 


172  PARTULA,    MARQUESAS   ISLANDS. 

Whether    the    specimens    were    actually    taken    on    Huapu 
("Woapo")  or  not  remains  uncertain. 

Compared  with  the  type  lot  of  Pease's  P.  recta,  P.  strigata 
is  thinner,  darker  colored,  dull  'brownish  instead  of  pale  green, 
with  a  narrower  flesh-tinted  peristome.  The  two  lots  seem 
to  he  specifically  distinct,  until  studied  in  connection  with  a 
large  series  from  Nukahiva,  subsequently  obtained,  which 
seem  to  be  partially  intermediate. 

3a.  P.  STRIGATA  OBESIOR  Pils.     PI.  30,  figs.  11,  14,  15,  16. 

A  lot  of  27  examples  from  Nukahiva  consists  of  shells  which 
are  generally  more  globose  than  either  recta  or  strigata,  thin, 
variable  in  color  as  follows : 

a.  White,  denuded  of  cuticle  (fig.  14). 

&.  White,  covered  with  a  very  thin  straw,  cream  or  brown 
tinted  cuticle,  the  spire  often  corneous  (fig.  15). 

c.  Rusty  brown,  having  a  whitish  belt  below  the  suture  (fig. 
16). 

d.  Dark  brown  (fig.  11). 

In  nearly  all  of  this  lot  the  lip  is  thin  and  narrow,  as  in 
strigata.  Specimens  measure: 

Length  21,.  diam.  12.8,  aperture  11.8  mm.,  whorls  5. 

Length  20.8  diam.  12,  aperture  11  mm.,  whorls  5. 

Length  19,  diam.  11.8,  aperture  11  nun.,  whorls  5. 

Length  18.5,  diam.  10.5,  aperture  10  mm.,  whorls  4%. 

Length  17,  diam.  10.5,  aperture  10  mm.,  whorls  4%. 

A  few  examples  among  these  shells  are  typical  recta. 
Probably  a  collector  who  would  keep  his  shells  from  different 
colonies  separate  would  find  that  there  are  several  races  on 
Nukahiva. 

3&.  P.  STRIGATA  RECTA  Pease.     PI.  30,  figs.  9,  10. 

The  shell  is  openly  umbilicate,  acutely  long-ovate,  solid,  the 
typical  form  -white  under  a  very  thin,  very  pale  green  cuticle, 
which  is  often  deciduous  on  the  last  half  whorl.  The  spire  is 
straightly  conic,  whorls  5*4  convex,  the  last  one  equably 
curved  from  suture  to  base.  The  initial  half  whorl  is  smooth,

next  two  whorls  of  the  embryonic  shell  are  rather  coarsely 
pitted  in  spiral  lines,  following  whorls  marked  with  fine 
growth-lines  and  very  fine  spiral  strise,  most  distinct  at  the 
base.  The  aperture  is  oblique,  ovate ;  peristome  broad,  white 
flatly  reflexed,  thickened  within  except  near  the  upper  angle.

covered  with  a  very  pale  olive  or  greenish-yellow  cuticle  with 
inconspicuous  darker  streaks,  the  embryonic  whorls  pale 
flesh-tinted.  Surface  somewhat  shining,  with  sculpture  of 
fine  spiral  striae  which  are  crowded  and  wavy  on  the  base, 
but  separated  by  spaces  much  wider  than  the  impressed  lines 
on  the  upper  part  of  the  last  whorl.  2^  embryonic  whorls 
(fig.  19)  have  the  coarse  pitting  of  other  Marquesan  species. 
Spire  short,  straightly  conic ;  whorls  4^,  moderately  convex,

at  the  inner  edge,  not  extending  to  the  upper  termination  of 
the  outer  lip.  Columellar  lip  dilated.

tinted  towards  the  summit,  with  a  pale  border  below  the 
suture  denuded  of  cuticle,  and  a  narrow  very  faint  brown 
band  just  below  the  periphery.  This  band  is  sometimes  very 
inconspicuous.  Old  shells  lose  much  of  the  cuticle,  becom- 
ing whitish  and  opaque.  The  aperture  is  ample.  The  peris- 
tome is  corneous,  thin,  well  expanded  but  not  thickened  with- 
in except  in  quite  old  shells.  Several  examples  measure:

This  very  delicate  snail  is  related  to  P.  decussatula  Pfr.,  but 
it  is  very  much  more  inflated,  shorter,  with  a  narrower  um- 
bilicus. Of  the  four  examples  originally  composing  the  type 
lot,  one  has  been  broken;  the  example  figured  by  Hartrnan 
is  also  damaged  by  a  hole  in  front  (not  shown  in  my  figure 
of  this  specimen).  Perhaps  none  of  the  specimens  is  quite 
fully  mature,  but  it  is  evidently  a  very  thin  shell  at  any  stage 
of  growth.  Figured  from  cotypes,  no.  4263  Carnegie  Museum. 

II.  SPECIES  OF  THE  SOCIETY  ISLANDS. 

The    Society    Islands    are   wonderfully    rich    in    Partulas. 
Both  species  and  individuals  are  developed  in  profusion,  and 
differentiation  of  form  and  color  has  been  carried  further 
than  in  any  other  island  group,  though  there  has  been  no 
great   structural    divergence.     Probably    all   of   the    Society 
species  are  referable  to  two  stocks,  herein  regarded  as  "sec- 
tions. ' '     These  sections  may  be  defined  thus : 
I.  Shell  ovate,  with  short  spire,  composed  of  4  to  4=y2  whorls, 
very   thin,   fragile   and   subtranslucent ;    color   pale   and 


176  PARTULA,    SOCIETY   ISLANDS. 

simple;  aperture  ample,  peristome  expanded,  not  thick- 
ened. Section  Leptopartula,  species  7  and  8. 
II.  Shell  composed  of  more  than  4.y2  whorls,  usually  solid, 
with  opaque  coloring,  but  sometimes  white ;  lip  thickened 
within.  Section  Partula,  species  9  to  50. 
Up  to  this  time  we  owe  our  knowledge  of  the  distribution 
and  variation  of  Society  Island  Partulae  to  Andrew  Garrett, 
whose  residence  at  Tahiti  gave  him  unusual  facilities  for  their 
study.     In  the  following  account  I  have  quoted  largely  from 
his  writings  and  except  in  a  few  cases,  have  accepted  his  esti- 
mate of  the  rank  of  the  several  species  and  races.     In  a  case 
like  this,  where  races  in  all  degrees  of  differentiation  abound, 
the  rank  to  be  assigned  to  any  given  race  is,  in  the  last  re- 
sort, a  matter  of  opinion.     The  criterion  of  intergradation  is 
often  difficult  of  application,  as  where  the  racial  divergence 
is  expressed  chiefly  in  slightly  different  tendencies  of  varia- 
tion.    In  Raiatea  and  Tahaa  especially,  there  seems  to  be  a 
good  deal  of  intergradation  between  the  races  and  so-called 
species.

which  are  weak  on  the  last  whorl  but  distinct  and  close  on 
the  spire.  The  spire  is  very  short,  conic;  whorls  4,  convex, 
the  last  evenly  convex,  globose.  The  aperture  is  somewhat

Huaheine:  "The  metropolis  of  this  very  fragile  species  is 
in  the  upper  portion  of  a  mountain  ravine,  on  the  west  coast 
of  Huaheine,  where  it  is  rather  common  on  the  leaves  of  low 
shrubs  and  ferns.  It  occurs  much  more  rarely  in  a  neighbor- 
ing valley  south  of  its  specific  center.  Mr.  Pease's  habitat 
'Tahiti,'  as  given  in  his  list  of  Polynesian  land  shells,  is 
decidedly  wrong."  (Garrett}.

Though  referred  by  Pease  to  the  genus  Bulimus,  it  is,  never- 
theless, a  true  Partula.  "The  animal,  which  is  viviparous, 
has  very  long,  slender,  ocular  tentacles,  long  lance-pointed 
foot,  and  that  portion  of  the  animal  occupying  the  whorls 
of  the  translucent  shells  is  beautifully  maculated  with  black 
and  white  spots  on  grayish  yellow  ground.  The  shell,  which 
is  very  uniform  in  all  its  specific  characters,  may  be  readily 
distinguished  by  its  very  thin  pellucid  texture,  ovate  form, 
abbreviated  spire,  turgid  body-whorl,  uniform  pale  yellow- 
ish horn-color,  thin,  slightly  expanded  lip  and  large  simple 
aperture. ' '  ( Garrett) . 

Pease  gave  the  following  description.  Specimens  received 
from  him  are  before  me.  "B.  testa  ovata,  tenuissima  pel-

The  shell  is  shortly,  openly  rimate,  not  perforate,  short, 
obliquely  ovate,  extremely  thin,  fragile,  corneous,  faintly 
tinted  with  pale  brown,  slightly  transparent.  The  surface 
is  glossy,  marked  with  growth-lines  and  minute,  close,  spiral 
striae.  Spire  very  short,  conic;  suture  marked  with  a  fine 
white  line.  Whorls  4^2,  convex,  the  last  very  large,  evenly 
swollen.  Aperture  oblique,  broadly  ovate,  two-thirds  the 
length  of  the  shell.  Peristome  thin,  narrowly  expanded,  the

This  delicate  shell  is  larger  and  more  opaque  than  P.  arguta, 
and  differs  in  the  non-perforating  umbilical  fissure.  Garrett 
remarks  that  "Like  P.  clara  and  P.  annectens,  it  appears  to

The  typical  group  of  Partula  is  restricted  to  the  Society 
and  Hervey  Islands.  Each  island  has  its  minor  type  of 
shell,  except  Moorea  and  Tahaa,  which  have  Tahiti  an  and 
Raiatean  types  respectively ;  'but  the  entire  series  is  so  closely 
interrelated  that  the  named  subgenerie  divisions  proposed  by 
Dr.  Hartman  cannot  be  sustained. 

A  small  group  of  white,  translucent  species  includes 

No.  9,  P.  hyalina  Brod.  Tahiti,  Hervey  and  Austral 
Islands. 

No.  16,  P.  clara  Pse.  Tahiti. 

No.  17,  P.  attenuata  Pse.  Tahiti  and  Raiatea. 

No.  44,  P.  annectens  Pse.  Huaheine. 

These  forms  may  have  some  exceptional  means  of  distribu- 
tion, or  they  may  be  conservative  stocks,  which  have  altered 
little  since  the  original  radiation  over  the  mountain  ranges 
which  are  now  islands.  They  approach  the  simply  colored 
southwestern  forms  of  Partula,  such  as  those  of  the  Solomon 
Islands,  in  appearance,  and  seem  to  be  little-changed  mem- 
bers of  an  old  stock. 

The  species  are  here  treated  in  geographic  order,  as  follows  : 

1.  Tahiti,  species  9  to  17. 

2.  Moorea,  species  18  to  21. 

3.  Raiatea  and  Tahaa,  species  22  to  41,  8. 

4.  Huaheine,  species  42  to  44,  7. 

5.  Borabora,  species  45. 

6.  Species  of  uncertain  habitat,  species  46  to  50. 


1.  Partulce  of  Tahiti. 

"On  Tahiti,  the  largest  island  in  the  group,  we  find  eight 
species  only,  six  of  which  are  endemic.  One  (P.  clara}, 
which  has  a  limited  range,  appears  to  be  gradually  becoming 
extinct.  Four  species  (P.  filosa,  nodosa,  producta  and  stolida) 
are  each  restricted  to  a  single  valley.  All  the  above  species 
are  well-defined,  and  exhibit  but  little  variation.  On  the 
contrary,  P.  otaheitana,  which  has  its  centre  of  distribution 


180  PARTULA,    TAHITI. 

in  Fa.utaua  valley,  has  spread  all  round  the  island,  and  is  sub- 
ject to  so  much  variation  that  no  less  than  fourteen  species 
have  'been  proposed  for  the  different  forms.  Two  species 
(P.  hyalina  and  attenuata)  are  common  to  other  islands; 
the  former  is  found  in  the  Austral  and  on  one  of  the  Cook's 
group ;  the  latter  occurs  on  Raiatea,  but  does  not  inhabit  the 
two  intermediate  islands.  It  is  a  .noteworthy  fact  that,  not- 
withstanding both  species  have  spread  nearly  all  round 
Tahiti,  yet  they  have  not  developed  a  single  varietal  feature, 
but,  on  the  contrary,  are  remarkably  uniform  in  all  their 
specific  characters. 

"Here  we  have  three  species  ranging  round  the  island,  and 
all  subject  to  the  same  conditions  of  life,  yet  two  have  not 
shown  the  slightest  tendency  to  depart  from  the  typical  forms, 
and  the  other,  which  is  very  variable  in  its  metropolis,  has 
developed  many  local  varieties.  The  above  facts,  which  are 
common  to  other  species,  seem  to  suggest  that  physical  con- 
ditions are  not  the  primary  cause  of  variations,  but  that  it  is 
the  operation  of  some  unknown  law."  (Garrett). 

Numerous  forms  of  Tahiti  and  Moorea  are  sinistral.  The 
species  of  all  the  other  islands  are  invariably  dextral.  Sin- 
istral Partulae  also  occur  in  the  Samoan  group.

The  shell  is  perforate,  acutely  long-ovate,  thin  but  rather 
strong,  corneous-white  or  bluish-white  throughout.  The 
spire  is  straightly  conic,  apex  acute.  Whorls  5,  weakly  con- 
vex, the  last  convex,  becoming  somewhat  compressed  laterally 
in  the  last  half,  base  convex.  Sculpture  of  fine  growth-lines 
decussated  by  minute,  close  spiral  incised  lines.  .  The  aper- 
ture is  very  oblique,  ovate.  Peristome  rather  broadly  re-

Quite  distinct  'by  its  milk-white  color,  and  the  very  oblique 
aperture,  contracted  in  adult  shells  by  a  strong  inner  rib  of 
the  lip.  It  might  form  a  separate  subgenus. 

The  distribution  of  this  snail  on  several  widely  separated 
groups  is  remarkable.  Such  distribution  is  unparalleled  by 
any  land  snail  of  its  size  in  Polynesia.  I  have  not  seen 
specimens  from  Mangaia  or  Rurutu,  but  those  collected  by 
Voy  at  Rarotonga  seem  indistinguishable  from  Tahitian  ex- 
amples. It  seems  possible  that  it  has  been  distributed  by  hu- 
man agency,  since  it  is  not  likely  that  a  snail  of  this  size  could 
be  carried  far  over  sea  by  hurricanes,  as  the  minute  forms 
(Tornatellina,  Pupidce  etc.)  no  doubt  have  been.  Still  an- 
other hypothesis :  P.  hyalina  may  be  an  ancient  and  conserva- 
tive stock,  which  has  survived  from  the  time  when  these 
mountain  islands  formed  the  sierras  of  a  larger  land  mass.

The  descriptions  of  Reeve  and  of  Pfeiffer  are  given  above. 
The  type  specimen  is  represented  by  fig.  21,  copied  from 
Reeve  who  described  the  species  in  advance  of  Pfeiffer.  The 
figure  measures  about  24  mm.  long.  The  last  whorl  is  dark 
chestnut  colored. 

Three  specimens  received  as  P.  compressa  from  Mr.  Cuming 
in  1862  are  before  me,  two  being  figured,  pi.  41,  figs.  19,  20. 
The  shell  is  glossy,  with  very  fine  and  rather  weak  spiral 
striation.  The  color  in  one  shell  is  white  under  a  yellow 
cuticle,  closely  streaked  with  olive-yellow,  the  streaks  form- 
ing an  ill-defined  median  belt.  The  other  specimens  are  very 
finely,  closely  but  irregularly  streaked  with  brown,  on  a 
yellow  ground  on  the  last  whorl,  giving  a  rather  bright  red- 
dish or  yellowish  brown  appearance,  while  the  spire  is  dull 
or  liver  brown,  the  apex  dull  purplish-brown.  The  last 
whorl  is  very  conspicuously  compressed  laterally,  flat  there 
in  the  last  half-whorl.  The  aperture  is  diagonal,  the  base 
thrown  out  from  the  middle,  in  the  type  figure  and  in  the 
yellow  shell  before  me  (fig.  19),  but  in  a  smaller  shell  it  is 
normal  in  shape.  The  lip  is  reflexed,  heavily  thickened 
within.  The  interior  is  white. 

Length  21,  diam.  !!%»  aperture  12  mm.,  whorls  5%. 

Length  191/2,  diam.  IQi/o,  aperture  10.2  mm.,  whorls  5%. 

These  specimens  agree  perfectly  with  one  received  from 
Andrew  Garrett  as  P.  stolida,  and  which  he  figured  in  Journ. 
A.  N.  S.  Phila.  ix,  p.  70,  pi.  3,  fig.  58.  I  have  drawn  this 


PARTULA,    TAHITI.  183 

shell  somewhat  enlarged  on  pi.  25,  fig.  7.  It  has  some  re- 
semblance to  P.  a/finis,  but  the  last  whorl  is  far  more  com- 
pressed laterally  than  in  affinis.  The  spire  is  reddish-brown, 
becoming  darker  towards  the  apex,  which  is  blackish-purple. 
The  last  whorl  is  olivaceous-chestnut,  closely  streaked  with 
yellow.  The  last  half  of  the  last  whorl  is  strongly  com- 
pressed at  the  side,  with  a  very  convex,  "saccate"  base.  The 
umbilical  crease  is  rather  ample.  The  rather  narrowly  re- 
flexed  lip  is  fleshy-tinted,  thin-edged,  having  a  strong  in- 
ternal thickening.  No  parietal  tooth.  Sculpture  consists 
of  very  fine  and  close  spiral  striae  crossing  the  growth- 
wrinkles,  and  continuing  to  the  lip.  This  shell  measures, 
length  19,  diam.  11,  length  of  aperture  10  mm.  G-arrett 
writes:  "I  took  a  few  examples  of  this  ground  species  about 
two  miles  up  Papenoo  valley,  on  the  northeast  coast  of  Tahiti. 
They  were  all  found  lurking  among  the  roots  of  ferns." 

The  identity  of  the  original  P.  stolida  of  Pease  is  doubt- 
ful. There  is  little  in  the  description  to  exclude  it  from 
P.  compressa,  yet  the  statement  that  it  is  "dentate"  prob- 
ably indicates  that  what  Pease  originally  had  was  a  form 
closer  to  P.  affiuis  (no. 


11.  P.  OTAHEITANA  (Bruguiere).     PI.  26,  figs.  13-15;  pi.  28,

"This  species  is  fluviatile  and  was  discovered  during  the 
same  voyage  as  the  preceding  [Captain  Cook's],  in  the  brooks 
of  the  island  Otahiti.  The  shell  is  sinistral,  oblong,  oval, 
very  thick,  not  more  than  10  or  11  lines  in  length  by  about 
6  in  diameter.  It  is  composed  of  5  whorls,  united  exteriorly, 
and  as  much  swollen  as  those  of  the  austral  Bulimus,  but 
coiled  in  a  direction  contrary  to  that  of  most  shells;  that  is 
to  say,  the  right  side  of  its  animal  is  towards  the  left.  The 
spire  is  conic  and  terminates  in  a  pointed  summit.  The 
sutures  resemble  those  of  the  preceding  species  [P.  faba]. 
The  'aperture  is  semi-oval,  oblique,  rounded  at  the  base,  only 
a  third  longer  than  wide,  and  shorter  (by  a  line  than  half 
the  shell.  Outer  lip  arcuate,  much  reflexed  and  recurved  to

the  exterior,  flat  and  projecting  outside.  The  inner 
[parietal]  lip  is  very  thin  and  furnished  with  a  tooth  in  the 
middle,  only  found  in  old  shells,  the  young  having  an  in- 
conspicuous callus  in  its  place.  The  •columella  is  simple,  out- 
wardly covering  an  umbilicus  resembling  that  of  Bulimus 
australis.  The  whole  shell  is  brown  outside,  or  the  color  of 
roasted  coffee;  the  lips  are  whitish  and  the  cavity  sooty. 
It  is  not  common. ' '  (Brug.}.

Bruguiere's  account  is  given  above,  since  it  seems  to  indi- 
cate a  darker,  more  elongate  shell  than  that  generally  ac- 
cepted as  typical  otaheitana. 

"The  metropolis  of  the  typical  otaheitana  is  about  two 
miles  up  Pautaua  valley,  on  the  northwest  part  of  Tahiti, 
where  it  is  very  abundant  on  the  trunks  and  foliage  of  trees 
and  bushes.  The  above-mentioned  valley  being  close  to  the 
principal  harbor  which  was  frequented  by  the  early  naviga- 
tors, it  was  undoubtedly  where  Bruguiere's  type  was  ob- 
tained. 

' '  The  Fautaua  shells,  which  are  very  variable  in  size,  shape, 
and  color,  are  never  ornamented  by  spiral  bands,  and  about 
one-third  of  the  specimens  are  sinistral.  The  parietal  tooth 
is  nearly  always  present  in  the  adults,  and  the  peristome, 
though  usually  white,  is  frequently  pinky  flesh-color.  The 
prevailing  colors  are  straw-yellow,  reddish  fulvous,  light 
'chestnut,  frequently  with  the  spire  more  or  less  tinted  with 
reddish  and  often  with  longitudinal  strigations.  The  spire 
is  more  or  less  produced,  and  the  aperture  varies  some  in  size 
and  shape. 

"The  shape  of  the  shell  varies  from  abbreviate-ovate  to 
elongate-ovate,  as  the  following  measurements  will  show: 
Length  21,  diana.  10  mm.     Dextral  specimen. 
Length  16,  diam.  10  mm.     Dextral  specimen.

Length  20,  diam.  10  mm.     Sinistral  specimen.

The  following  form  has  been  referred  to  otakeitana  as  a 
synonym  by  Garrett  and  Hartman.  "Bulimus  isabellinus 
Pfr.  Shell  subperforate,  oblong-conic,  solid,  striatulate,  isa-

P.  Iccvigata  Pfr.  is  doubtless  a  Society  Island  shell,  prob- 
ably a  form  of  P.  otaheitana.  The  description  follows:

swollen  next  the  suture,  rounded  at  base.  Columella  in- 
wardly nodose-plicate  above  the  middle.  Aperture  slightly 
oblique,  oblong,  obstructed  by  a  deeply  placed  tubercle  on 
the  penultimate  whorl;  peristome  thick,  white,  spreading 
throughout,  the  columellar  margin  dilated  and  adnate  above.

lla.  P.  o.  LIGNARIA  Pse  (pi.  25,  figs.  1,  2,  3,  4.)  "In  a 
valley  about  two  miles  west  of  Fautaua,  there  exists  in  abund- 
ance the  variety  ( ? )  lignaria,  Pease,  which,  though  described 
as  dextral,  is  nevertheless  very  frequently  sinistral.  Though 
not  attaining  quite  so  large  a  size  as  the  Fautaua  shells,  it 
differs  none  in  shape,  but  is  usually  darker  colored  and

wore  strigated,  as  well  as  exhibiting  one  to  three  transverse 
reddish  chestnut  bands.  The  lip  is  always  white,  and  the 
parietal  tooth  is  very  seldom  absent.  The  inosculation  with 
otakeitana  is  so  complete  that  it  cannot  be  even  separated  as 
a  well-marked  variety."  It  was  thus  described:  Partula 
lignaria  Pease  in  Proc.  Zool.  Soc.  1864,  p.  671.  "  P.  t.  ovata, 
solidiusculai  dextrorsa,  anguste  umbilicata,  sub  lente  minu- 
tissime  transversim  striata,  irregulariter  longitudinaliter 
striata;  anfr.  5,  plano-convexis,  sutura  impressa;  apertura 
rotundato-ovata,  edentata,  labro  rotundatim  incrassato ;  cas- 
taneo-fusco  irregulariter  longitudinaliter  strigata,  interdum 
omnino  rufo-fusca.  Long.  18,  diam.  10  mill." 

"Var.  &.  Fascia  unica  nigro-fusca  cingulata,  seu  omnino 
fiavide  fusca. " 

G-arrett's  note  on  this  imperfectly  differentiated  race  is 
given  above.  The  figures  are  from  shells  collected  by  him, 
showing  several  color-patterns.  In  certain  examples  a  more 
or  less  conspicuous  nodule  appears  on  the  face  of  the  colu- 
mella  near  its  insertion,  fig.  4,  much  as  in  P.  auriculata  and 
nodosa. 

Dr.  Mayer  found  lignaria  streaked  without  spiral  bands, 
and  also  with  one  dark  peripheral  band  in  Tipasrui  valley. 
All  were  dextral.  In  a  few  there  is  an  additional  subsutural 
band. 

In  Hamuta  and  Pirae  Valleys,  a  form  with  sutural,  peri- 
pheral and  umbilical  bands  was  found,  constituting  3  to  4 
per  cent  of  the  Partulcc  caken.  It  occurred  with  streaked 
Lignaria.  In  Pirse,  all  are  sinistral;  in  Hamuta  (between 
Piras  and  Tipoerui)  both  dextral  and  sinistral  individuals  were 
found.

suture. 

"Observations:  The  above  species  is  allied  to  P.  otaheitana. 
It  is,  however,  smaller  and  less  elongate."  (Pease). 

Garrett  writes:  "Pease's  affinis,  which  cannot  be  separated 
from  some  of  the  small  abbreviated  forms  of  otaheitana,  oc- 
curs in  greater  or  less  abundance  in  all  the  valleys  from 
Haona  as  far  as  the  southeast  end  of  Taiarapu  peninsula, 
and  round  the  opposite  coast  as  far  as  Papieri  on  the  south- 
west of  Tahiti  proper.  In  Papinoo  I  discovered  a  large 
colony  of  affinis,  many  of  which  had  the  pinky  flesh-colored  lip 
and  sinistral  form  of  otaheitana.  Far  up  in  the  same  valley, 
though  common,  none  but  dextral  forms  were  found,  and  out 
of  thousands  taken  in  the  other  valleys,  not  one  sinistral  ex- 
ample occurred  to  my  notice. 

Three  examples  of  affinis,  received  from  Pease,  and  rep- 
resenting the  three  color-forms  mentioned  by  him,  are  fig- 
ured, pi.  25,  figs.  5,  6,  9.  All  the  examples  of  this  lot  have 
the  parietal  wall  dentate.  The  sculpture  of  spiral  lines  is 
very  fine  and  close,  but  on  the  last  whorl  it  is  more  or  less 
obsolete,  especially  so  in  the  middle  of  each  whorl. 

In  a  lot  of  five  examples  received  from  Garrett,  one  has 
a  small  parietal  tooth,  the  others  none.  All  are  obscurely 
streaked  with  chestnut  on  a  yellow  ground,  the  spire  brown. 
The  sculpture  of  the  latter  part  of  the  last  whorl  below  the 
suture,  of  one  of  this  lot,  is  drawn  in  pi.  25,  fig.  8.  In  some 
other  individuals,  the  spiral  lines  are  subobsolete,  as  in 
typical  affinis.

"In  a  valley  several  miles  from  Papinoo  I  found  a  small 
colony  of  affinis  which  were  marked  by  three  transverse  red- 
dish chestnut  bands  like  lignaria.  And  most  singular,  no

Carpenter  erroneously  referred  to  varia."  [PI.  25,  fig.  10, 
11].  The  var.  dubia  was  not  defined  by  Pease,  but  only 
mentioned  as  a  form  of  varia,  in  P.  Z.  S.  1864,  p.  675.  Its 
first  published  definition  was  in  Garrett's  note,  quoted  above. 
Examples  of  dubia  from  Pease  are  figured  (pi.  25,  figs.  10, 
11).  The  smallest  dubia  seen  are  only  15  mm.  long.

"To  the  eastward  between  Fautana  and  Papinoo  valley,  a 
distance  of  about  eight  miles,  there  are  three  valleys,  all  in- 
habited by  Pfeiffer 's  amabilis,  a  sinistral  form  which  has 
not  a  single  feature  to  distinguish  it  from  some  of  the  large 
turreted  Fautaua  shells.  In  the  first  valley,  Pfeiffer's  species, 
though  not  abundant,  were  very  fine  specimens.  The  next 
valley,  known  as  Pirai,  (the  metropolis  of  the  small  dextral 
P.  filosa,  which  occupies  the  lower  part  of  the  valley),  is,  in 
the  upper  part,  which  trends  towards  the  headquarters  of 
otaheitana,  inhabited  by  the  sinistral  amabilis.  A  few  im- 
mature examples  were  found  which  were  'banded  like  lignaria. 
The  only  dextral  Partulce  taken  in  the  two  valleys  were 
filosa,,  attenuata  and  hyalina. 

"In  the  next  valley,  called  Haona,  I  found  the  dextral 
P.  affinis  abundant,  and  took  a  few  of  amabilis. 

"Both  Dr.  Pfeiffer  and  Reeve  described  the  latter  species 
from  specimens  in  the  Cumingian  collection,  and  both  quote

Anaa,  a  low  coral  island,  as  its  habitat.  Having  resided 
about  five  months  on  that  island,  and  searched  all  parts  for 
shells,  I  did  not  find  a  single  Partula  there,  or  on  any  other 
low  coral  island.  Though  neither  Pfeiffer  nor  Reeve  allude 
to  a  parietal  tooth,  it  is  very  frequently  present."  (Garrett) .

Fig.  4  is  a  copy  of  Reeve's.  The  examples  before  me  are 
the  form  sent  out  as  turricula  by  Pease.  They  are  all  sinis- 
tral, elongate,  glossy,  varying  from  chestnut-tinted  yellow  to 
pale  yellow  with  light  green  streaks  on  the  last  two  whorls, 
those  preceding  rose-tinted,  the  shade  deepening  to  the  apex. 
The  lip  is  white  in  the  paler  shells,  rose-tinted  in  the  darker. 
Measurements  vary  from  length  22,  diam.  12.1,  aperture  10.9 
mm.,  to  19,  11,  9.8  mm.  just  three-fourths  of  the  adult  shells 
seen  have  a  parietal  tooth.  Garrett  writes:  "Reeve's  rubes- 
cens is  abundant  in  Papinoo,  and  occurs  sparingly  in  all  the 
valleys  as  far  as  the  southeast  end  of  the  island.  Like  ama- 
bilis  it  cannot  be  separated  from  the  sinistral  turreted  ota- 
heitana,  inhabiting  Fautaua.  It  is  always  sinistral,  never 
banded,  and,  though  usually  of  a  reddish  tint,  is  frequently 
straw-yellow  or  fulvous,  with  or  without  a  reddish  or  pinky 
apex.  The  lip  is  white  or  pinky  flesh-color.  Though  de- 
scribed as  edentate,  some  have  a  small  parietal  tooth.  Reeve 
gave  no  locality,  and  Pfeiffer  erroneously  cites  the  Marquesas 
as  its  habitat."

"Pease's  sinistrorsa  is  confined  to  the  south  coast  of  Tahiti 

proper,  where  it  exists  in  the  greatest  profusion  in  all  the 


PARTULA,    TAHITI.  191 

valleys  and  lowland  forests  for  a  distance  of  ten  or  twelve 
miles.  In  the  valley  which  is  the  limit  of  the  range  of  the 
dextral  affinis  I  took  several  specimens  of  the  sinistral  sinis- 
trorsa.  The  latter  is  invariably  reversed,  dentate  or  eden- 
tate, fulvous  with  three  more  or  less  diffused  reddish  chest- 
nut bands.  Reeve  figures  the  same  shell  on  Plate  3,  fig.  13a, 
as  otaheitana.  Bandless  varieties  are  frequent,  and  vary 
from  straw-yellow  to  fulvous  or  light  chestnut,  frequently 
strigated  and  the  lip  white.  The 'latter  varieties  differ  none 
from  the  true  otaheitana  of  Fautaua. 

"  It  is  worthy  of  remark  that  in  that  part  of  the  district  of 
Papieri,  occupied  by  sinistrorsa,  is  also  the  headquarters  of 
the  terrestrial  P.  producta,  a  dextral  species,  which  is  always 
edentate,  and  exhibits  the  fasciation  of  the  former. 

"After  passing  to  the  westward  of  the  range  of  the  typical 
sinistrorsa,  which  presents  the  same  features  for  a  distance 
of  ten  or  twelve  miles,  it  suddenly  exhibits  a  tendency  to  a 
change  in  its  becoming  more  stunted,  more  solid,  always  den- 
tated,  and  the  bands,  one  to  three,  are  sharply  defined  on  a 
pale  ground.  It  is  the  sinistralis  of  Pease,  MS.,  and  occupies 
two  valleys. 

"In  the  next  large  valley,  called  Faahuaite,  on  the  south- 
west coast,  we  find  Pease's  crassa  (MS.),  which  is  also  a  sin- 
istral shell,  always  dentated,  solid,  more  tightly  coiled  than 
sinistrorsa,  and  the  body- whorl  is  more  flattened.  It  is  rarely 
marked  by  a  single  narrow  submedian  chestnut  band.  In  the 
same  valley,  but  more  inland,  occurs  a  smaller  form,  which  is, 
I  suppose,  the  P.  brevicula,  Pse.,  MS.  [see  pi.  26,  f.  12,  speci- 
men from  Dr.  Hartman]. 

' '  The  following  valley,  named  Punaavia,  is  the  metropolis 
of  the  beautiful  P.  nodosa,  which  also  exhibits  three  bands. 
Far  above  the  restricted  range  of  the  latter,  where  the  valley 
turns  towards  the  head  of  Fautaua,  the  home  of  the  typical 
otaheitana,  I  took  a  few  examples  of  a  Partula,  similar  to,  but 
larger  than  crassa.  The  next  valley  is  the  habitat  of 
lignaria. ' '  ( Garrett) .

In  my  copy  of  Pfeiffer's  figure  (pi.  27,  fig.  13)  the  small 
parietal  tooth  was  omitted  by  oversight.  It  is  very  indis- 
tinctly drawn  in  the  original  figure,  and  should  resemble  that 
of  fig.  9  of  the  same  plate. 

P.  stenostoma  was  not  identified  by  Mr.  Garrett.  The 
positions  of  the  bands  eause  me  to  think  it  related  to  affinis 
Pse.,  and  dubia  Garr.,  but  it  differs  from  these  and  other 
forms  of  P.  otaheitana  by  the  narrow  shape  of  the  aperture. 
Dr.  Hartman  has  referred  stenostoma,  to  P.  vexillum  Pse. ;

This  terrestrial  form  was  found  by  Garrett  to  be  invariably 
dextral.  It  is  not  so  glossy  as  P.  otaheitana  sinistrorsa  Pse., 
but  otherwise  there  is  not  much  difference.  P.  producta  how- 
ever has  somewhat  diverse  variations;  the  dark  bands  be- 
come confluent  in  some  individuals  by  darkening  of  the 
ground  color,  leaving  the  last  whorl  chestnut  with  (usually) 
a  pale  sutural  band  and  umbilical  patch.  Garrett  also  re- 
cords a  mutation  uniform  pale  fulvous  or  tawny  with  a  darker 
apex.  Description  and  figs.  1,  2,  3  from  examples  received

Tahiti  :  '  '  This  beautiful  arboreal  species  is  restricted  to  a 
limited  area  about  two  miles  up  Punaavia  valley  on  the  west 
coast  of  Tahiti.  I  first  discovered  the  location  in  1861,  and 
gathered  about  three  hundred  examples.  On  a  subsequent 
visit,  nine  years  later,  I  secured  over  eight  hundred  speci- 
mens. It  is  entirely  confined  to  the  south  side  of  the  stream 
which  flows  through  the  valley,  and  circumscribed  in  a  nar- 
row area  about  three-fourths  of  a  mile  in  length."  (Garrett)  .

P.  nodosa  stands  near  P.  suturalis  of  Moorea,  which  doubt- 
less arose  from  the  same  ancestral  stock.  In  Tahiti  it  has  no 
little  resemblance  to  certain  forms  of  P.  lignaria,  especially 
those  with  many  streaks  and  a  single  dark  belt,  many  of 
which  show  a  more  or  less  developed  nodule  on  the  columella, 
such  as  is  characteristic  of  P.  nodosa. 

The  typical  P.  nodosa,  pi.  25,  figs.  12,  13,  was  the  dark 
reddish-brown  or  chestnut-brown  shell,  with  a  wide  cream- 
white  band  below  the  suture  on  the  last  one  or  two  whorls. 


PARTULA,    TAHITI.  195 

There  is  usually  more  or  less  pale  streaking  of  the  dark 
ground  on  the  last  whorl;  the  reverse  of  the  lip  and  the 
border  of  the  umbilicus  are  also  pale.  Several  examples  seen, 
one  of  them  received  from  Dr.  Pfeiffer.  All  are  dextral. 
Judging  'by  the  lots  before  me,  this  form  occurs  in  the  same 
colonies  with  the  following  color  phases. 

Color-form  TRILINEATA  Pease.  PI.  25,  figs.  14,  15.  "Cream 
color  or  yellowish  horn-color,  the  spire  usually  reddish-brown, 
last  whorl  striped  irregularly  with  brown,  and  encircled  by 
three  dark  reddish-'brown  lines  or  'bands;  suture  margined 
with  white  "(Pse).  In  the  typical  lot  of  trilineata  received 
from  Pease  the  spire  is  fleshy  brown  in  two  examples  (typical 
-coloration)  ;  clear  corneous  in  two;  and  the  other  two  have 
some  whitish  and  faint  'brown  markings  on  a  fleshy- corneous 
ground.  Four  of  the  shells  are  3-banded,  like  fig.  14,  15,  one 
has  only  a  wide  chestnut  'belt,  and  is  conspicuously  streaked 
with  brown,  and  the  sixth  is  a  typical  nodosa  in  color. 

A  lot  from  Grarrett  consists  of  ( 1 )  ordinary  dark  P.  nodosa ; 
(2)  one  sinistral  shell  (fig.  16)  with  normal  trilineata  color- 
pattern.  Garrett  states  "about  one  in  two  hundred  is  sinis- 
tral ")  ;  and  (3)  pale  shells  with  the  spire  corneous,  last  I1/-* 
whorls  cream-colored  with  a  profusion  of  corneous  and  cor- 
neous-brown streaks  which  do  not  reach  to  the  suture;  aper- 
ture typical  (pi.  25,  fig.  17,  color- form  pallidior).

' '  The  shell  is  blunt  in  shape  and  the  spire  is  short ;  the  lip 
is  quite  thick,  and  is  usually  provided  with  a  well-developed 
tooth  upon  the  columellar  side,  and  there  is  also  a  tooth  upon 
the  wall  of  the  aperture.  The  surface  of  the  shell  is  smooth 
and  slightly  polished,  and  there  are  no  deep  longitudinal  fur- 
rows. About  57  per  cent  of  these  snails  are  well  represented 
by  fig.  18.  The  ground  color  is  a  light  horny-yellow  streaked 
longitudinally  with  darker  brown,  in  addition  to  which  there 
are  two  dark-brown  whorl-stripes  and  a  white  whorl-stripe 
adjacent  to  the  suture  of  the  spire.  In  about  43  per  cent 
the  dark-brown  whorl  stripes  are  either  absent  or  veiy  faint, 


196  PARTULA,    TAHITI. 

and  the  ground  color  of  the  shell  varies  from  light  horny- 
yellow  to  rich  'brown.  A  snail  of  this  type  is  fairly  well  rep- 
resented in  fig.  19,  a  dark-brown  individual  being  drawn. 
Ninety-seven  per  cent  of  the  adult  snails  of  type  18  and  91 
per  cent  of  type  19  -are  sinistral ;  while  of  the  young,  100  per 
cent  from  type  18  and  90  per  cent  from  type  19  are  sinistral. 
In  the  case  of  the  snails  of  type  19,  twenty-six  sinistral  adults 
gave  forty-six  sinistral  and  one  dextral  young;  while  two  dex- 
tral  adults  gave  four  dextral  and  no  sinistral  young.  Among 
the  snails  of  type  18,  only  one  of  the  dextral  adults  con- 
tained young  and  this  one  gave  a  single  sinistral  offspring. 
Twenty-  six  whorl-striped  adults  of  the  type  of  fig.  18  gave 
forty-two  young,  of  which  76  per  cent  display  whorl-stripes, 
while  24  per  cent  are  plain  colored.  On  the  other  hand, 
twenty-eight  adults  of  type  19,  which  are  either  unstriped 
or  with  very  faint  whorl-stripes,  gave  forty-one  young  of 
which  61.5  per  cent  are  marked  with  whorl-stripes  and  38.5 
per  cent  are  plain  colored.  It  is  very  evident  that  the 
striped  and  unstriped  forms  intergrade. 

"Of  the  one  hundred  adults  found  in  the  valley,  94  per 
cent  are  sinistral,  while  of  the  eighty-eight  young  taken  from 
them,  94.5  per  cent  are  sinistral.  This  condition  appears, 
therefore,  to  be  stable  from  one  generation  to  another."

P.  filosa  is  quite  distinct  from  other  Tahitian  snails,  but  is 
very  closely  related  to  the  Moorean  P.  nucleola  Pse.  It  is 
a  small,  ovate,  solid  and  compactly  coiled  shell,  dull  or  with 
but  little  gloss,  and  either  reddish-brown  with  darker  pur- 
plish summit,  or  dull  yellow  with  the  summit  roseate;  in 
either  case  'being  irregularly  marked  with  many  backwardly 
sloping  longitudinal  whitish  lines.  Under  the  lens  these  lines 
appear  ragged,  and  are  seen  to  be  due  to  the  loss  of  cuticle 
along  some  of  the  lines  of  growth.  All  the  post-embryonic 
whorls  have  this  peculiarity.  The  spiral  striation  is  well 
developed  throughout.  All  of  the  thirty  examples  seen  have 
a  parietal  tooth,  but  in  some  it  is  quite  small.  The  peristome 
is  white,  moderately  expanded  but  strongly  thickened  within. 
There  is  often  the  low  indication  of  a  tubercle  on  the  colu- 
mella.  No  banded  or  sinistral  examples  have  been  found.

This  leaf-dweller  is  said  by  Garrett  to  be  rare  and  in  his 
opinion  approaching  extinction.  It  has  the  figure  of  P. 
annectens  of  Huaheine,  but  is  much  less  delicate.  P.  attenuata 
of  Raiatea  and  Tahiti,  is  an  allied  species  of  much  more 
slender  contour. 

Specimens  from  Pease  and  Garrett  before  one  are  either 
nearly  uniform  in  tint,  or  streaked  obliquely  with  chestnut. 
Pease  in  his  original  account  has  described  a  livar.,  encircled 
with  a  single  line,  or  two  or  three."  Garrett  describes  it  as 
"corneous,  sometimes  with  darker  stripes,  and  more  rarely 
with  one  or  two  transverse  chestnut  bands. ' '  In  being  varie- 
gated, P.  clara  is  -clearly  less  modified  from  the  ancestral  stock 
than  P.  attenuata  and  annectens.

faintly  marked  with  growth  lines  and  minute,  crowded,  finely

vex, the  last  one  compressed  below  the  periphery,  and  strongly 
convex,  somewhat  swollen,  at  the  base.  (This  is  well  shown 
in  fig.  2).  The  aperture  is  nearly  vertical,  more  than  half 
the  total  length.  Peristome  broadly  reflexed,  the  basal  and 
outer  margins  thickened  within  except  near  the  upper  end 
of  the  lip,  which  is  thin  and  merely  a  little  expanded.  Colu-

abundant  in  Toloa  and  Hapai  valleys  than  elsewhere.  Owing 
to  its  peculiar  habit  of  living  on  the  foliage  near  the  tops  of 
trees,  it  easily  escapes  observation.  It  occurs  more  rarely  at 
Tahiti,  where  it  has,  also,  a  wide  range,  and  is  confined  to 
the  upper  portions  of  the  valleys."  (Garrett} .

This  snail  is  closely  related  to  P.  annectens  of  Huaheine, 
having  in  common  with  that  the  color,  texture  and  sculpture, 
and  especially  the  peculiar  shape  of  the  last  whorl,  which  is 
compressed  below  the  middle,  then  swollen  around  the  umbili- 
cal region  in  both  species.  It  differs  from  annectens  by  its 


200  PARTULA,    MOOREA. 

more  slender  shape,  heavier  substance,  and  wider  lip,  which 
is  calloused  within.  P.  clara  also  is  an  allied  species  of 
broader  contour,  but  with  an  aperture  much  like  that  of 
attenuata. 

In  a  lot  or  three  specimens  sent  many  years  ago  by  Pease, 
the  suture  has  a  grayish  margin ;  but  in  all  other  shells  seen, 
the  margin  is  white,  by  loss  of  the  cuticle,  or  by  its  becoming 
permeated  with  air.  Normally  the  lip-edge  and  parietal 
callus  are  thin,  but  in  one  very  old  shell  before  me,  both  are 
considerably  thickened. 

Pease  described  this  species  twice,  evidently  from  the  same 
examples.  He  seems  to  have  forgotten  the  description  of 
1864.  It  is  an  error  other  prolific  authors  have  committed. 

"When  we  take  into  consideration  its  peculiar  habit  of 
concealment  in  the  tops  of  trees,  and  its  range  restricted  to 
the  more  elevated  portions  of  the  valleys,  so  contrary  to  the 
habits  of  other  species,  it  is  really  remarkable  to  find  it  in- 
habiting two  remote  islands,  especially  as  all  the  other  species 
have  a  very  limited  range.  It  does  not  occur  at  Tahaa,  which 
is  only  four  miles  from  Raiatea,  and  enclosed  in  the  same  en- 
circling reef.  It  is  no  less  singular  to  note  its  absence  from 
Huaheine  and  Moorea,  though  at  the  former  island  we  find 
the  closely  allied  P.  annectens."  (Garrett). 

2.  Moorean  Partula. 

Four  species  and  numerous  subspecies  are  peculiar  to 
Moorea,  which  is  separated  from  Tahiti  by  a  channel  only 
eight  miles  wide.  All  show  clear  traces  of  a  common  ancestry 
with  Tahitian  forms,  though  since  the  separation  of  the  islands 
there  has  been  specific  divergence.  The  affinities  of  the  snails 
are  as  follows : 

Tahiti.  Moorea.

P.  nodosa  P.  suturalis

P.  nworeana  "may  be  characterized  by  its  elongate-ovate 
form,  rather  thin  texture,  constant  parietal  tooth,  planulate- 
conical  spire,  which  equals  half  the  length  of  the  shell,  pale 
luteous  color,  with  darker  apex.  It  is  alivays  sinistral,  and 
the  white  expanded  lip  is  rather  thin  and  moderately  incras- 
sated.  A  variety  with  three  narrow  pale  brown  revolving 
bands  is  not  infrequent. 

"It  is  closely  related  to  some  of  the  sinistral  forms  of 
varieties  of  P.  otaheitana,  particularly  with  Pease's  P.  crassa, 
which,  though  of  the  same  shape,  is  more  solid,  rougher,  and 
the  fine  crowded  spiral  incised  lines  which  extend  over  the 
whole  surface  of  the  former  are  nearly  obsolete  on  the  latter."

The  original  figures  of  this  species  are  copied,  pi.  27,  figs. 
10,  11.  It  was  described  from  the  Curning  collection,  the 
habitat  being  unknown.  Dr.  Hartman  seems  to  have  first  re- 
cognized it  in  the  common  Moorean  shell  under  considera- 
tion. Garrett  subsequently  (1884)  discussed  the  species  at 
great  length. 

Figures  5,  6,  8  of  plate  28  represent  the  typical  form  of 
the  species.  The  shell  is  rather  solid  when  adult,  compact  in 
shape.  The  lip  is  snow-white,  thickened  within,  columella 
vertical,  swollen  or  inflated  just  below  the  insertion.  There 
is  generally  no  parietal  tooth,  but  when  developed  it  is  a  low 
callous  node  or  pad,  not  often  a  distinct  tooth,  as  in  vexillum. 
The  first  2y2  whorls  are  isabella-colored  ;  the  darker  ob- 
liquely longitudinal  stripes  appear  at  first  rather  faint  and 
widely  spaced  on  the  isabelline  ground,  but  on  the  last  whorl 
the  ground  becomes  opaque,  more  or  less  cafe-au-lait  tinted  or 


PARTULA,    MOOREA.  203 

sometimes  nearly  white,  and  the  stripes  are  brown-corneous  or 
even,  unequal  and  unevenly  spaced.  The  sculpture  consists 
of  spiral  incised  striae  which  are  rather  widely  spaced,  and 
typically  are  distinct  on  the  last  whorl. 

This  type  of  shell  is  further  modified  by  the  development 
of  spiral  bands;  sometimes  only  one,  at  the  periphery,  the 
base  of  the  shell  often  chestnut-colored,  and  again  two  bands, 
one  above,  the  other  below  the  periphery  (pi.  28,  fig.  8;  pi.  27, 
fig.  6).  Specimens  with  oblique  streaks  only,  with  one  and 
with  two  bands,  occur  together  in  Garrett 's  sendings,  and 
apparently  are  mingled  in  the  same  colonies.  The  spiral 
striation  is  usually  subobsolete  on  the  upper  part  of  the  last 
whorl  in  these  shells,  which  are  what  Pease  named  in  MS.  and 
Smith  described  as  P.  alternata.  The  preceding  forms  are 
what  Garrett  alludes  to  as  found  in  Oahumi  valley.  Com- 
paring this  race  with  vexillum,  he  writes:  "The  Oahumi 
shells  are  usually  a  trifle  smaller,  not  so  frequently  dentated, 
and  are  much  more  conspicuously  strigated  than  the  Vaianai 
shells.  The  spiral  bands,  of  which  there  are  one  or  two,  sel- 
dom three,  on  the  body- whorl,  are  very  frequently  interrupted, 
which,  with  the  conspicuous  strigations,  gives  the  shell  a  some- 
what tessellated  appearance.  All  the  color-varieties  alluded 
to  in  my  remarks  on  the  Vaianai  shells  are  also  found  in 
Oahumi,  but  the  uniform  dark-colored  ones  are  more  fre- 
quent, besides  one  of  a  uniform  white  color,  not  decorticated, 
of  which  I  took  three  examples. 

"So  far  as  I  can  ascertain,  there  has  been  no  figure  pub- 
lished of  Pfeiffer's  strigosa.  He  gives  the  Admiralty  Islands 
as  its  habitat.  There  are  no  species  of  the  type  he  describes 
found  in  the  western  Pacific.  It  is  undoubtedly  a  Society 
Islands  species,  and  I  fully  agree  with  Dr.  Hartman  in  re- 
ferring it  to  the  shells  under  consideration. ' ' 

Further  Oahumi  color-forms  are  represented  in  pi.  28,  figs. 
1,  2,  3,  4,  the  lot  from  Garrett.  They  are  chestnut  with  light 
streaks  and  a  white  suture,  the  spire  flesh-colored  (fig.  3),  the 
same  with  a  pale  girdle  (fig.  2),  or  line  (fig.  1),  at  the  peri- 
phery, or  there  may  be  two  white  zones,  one  below  the  suture, 
the  other  in  the  middle  of  the  basal  slope  (fig.  4).

P.  strigosa  Pfr.  is  p  rob-ably,  as  Garrett  and  Hartman  have 
held,  a  form  of  suturalis.  It  w:as  described  as  follows  :  '  '  Shell 
perforate,  oblong-conic,  rather  solid,  very  obsoletely  decus- 
sate, subopaque  ;  whitish,  ornamented  with  irregular  fulvous 
and  rufous  streaks.  Spire  conic,  the  apex  acute.  Whorls  5, 
nearly  flat,  the  last  slightly  shorter  than  the  spire,  somewhat 
tapering  at  the  base,  rounded.  Columella  somewhat  twisted 
above,  subnodose  at  base.  Aperture  slightly  oblique,  trun- 
cate-oval, generally  contracted  by  a  nodiform  parietal  callus. 
Peristome  white,  callous,  subequally  spreading  throughout. 
Length  17  to  18,  diam.  9  mm.,  aperture  with  peristome  8^2  x 
6%  mm.,  inside  3%  mm.  wide.  Admiralty  Is."  (P.  strigosa

The  shell  is  typically  dextral,  more  lengthened  than  the 
preceding,  less  compact,  and  somewhat  thinner.  On  a  corn- 
eous-buff ground  it  is  obliquely  streaked  with  opaque  buff 
on  the  last  whorl,  and  begirt  with  two  chestnut  bands,  the 
upper  one  ascending  on  the  penult,  whorl.  Parietal  tooth 
well-developed.  Spiral  striation  wanting  or  extremely  weak 
on  the  last  whorl.  Sutural  white  line  inconspicuous  or  even 
wanting.  Length  21,  diam.  ll1/^,  length  of  aperture  11  mm. 
Description  and  fig.  9  are  from  one  of  Pease's  original  lot. 
Other  shells  are  somewhat  smaller,  length  18  mm.,  and  the 
oblique  streaks  may  be  less  distinct, 

Many  examples  were  collected  by  Andrew  Garrett,  who 
found  it  variable.  Some  shells  are  dark  chestnut  with  a 
white  sutural  line  (fig.  10)  ;  others  are  like  Pease's  original 
lot,  or  have  a  third  band,  around  the  umbilicus  (fig.  11)  ; 
while  some  shells  are  finely  streaked  brown  and  buff,  without 
any  bands  (fig.  12)  .  Garrett  writes  as  follows  :  "This  beau- 
tiful arboreal  species  is  found  in  great  profusion  in  Vaianai 
valley,  on  the  southeast  coast  of  Moorea,  where  it  occurs  in 
company  with  P.  mooreana  and  P.  elongata.  It  also  exists 
in  considerable  numbers  in  a  small  valley  about  two  miles  to 
the  westward,  associated  with  P.  taniata  and  elongata. 


PARTULA,    MOOREA.  205 

' '  I  first  discovered  this  species  in  1861,  and  obtained  several 
hundred  specimens,  all  collected  on  the  eastern  side  of  the 
stream  that  flows  through  the  valley  of  Vaianai.  They  were 
all  dextral,  and  were  so  described  by  Pease,  under  the  name 
of  vexillum.  On  a  second  visit,  in  1875,  I  took  over  2000  ex- 
amples, all  gathered  on  the  tvestern  side  of  the  stream,  and 
was  surprised  to  find  many  sinistral  forms  among  them 
[pi.  28,  fig.  9].  At  the  same  time  I  found  about  a  dozen 
specimens,  all  sinistral,  in  a  large  semicircular  valley  on  the 
opposite  side  of  the  island.  They  were  probably  stragglers 
from  Vaianai. 

"It  is  noteworthy  that  no  reversed  Partulce  were  found  in 
any  other  part  of  the  island  except  on  the  western  side  of  the 
stream  in  Vaianai,  and  the  above-mentioned  stragglers  taken 
on  the  opposite  coast.  The  same  side  of  the  stream  is  also 
the  home  of  the  sinistral  P.  mooreana."

Tlie  typical  form  is  tawny  brown  with  two  widely  separ- 
ated white  bands  as  shown  in  figures  15,  16  of  pi.  28.  There 
are  also  often  some  pale  oblique  streaks.  The  shape,  as 
(jarrett  writes,  "varies  from  abbreviate-ovate  to  elongate- 
ovate,  more  or  less  solid,  scarcely  shining,  smooth  or  wrin- 
kled with  incremental  strige,  and  the  spiral  incised  lines  are 
very  fine,  and  crowded  on  all  the  whorls.  The  spire  is  more 
or  less  produced  half  the  length  of  the  shell,  sometimes 
shorter  or  a  trifle  longer.  The  last  whorl  is  frequently  com- 
pressed in  the  back  and  right  side,  which  gives  it  a  faintly 
biangular  appearance.  The  peristome  is  more  or  less  ex- 
panded, sometimes  considerably  so,  moderately  thick,  slant- 
ing and  labiated  within.  Columellar  lip  more  or  less  tor- 
tuous, abruptly  receding  above,  which  gives  it  a  nodulous  ap- 
pearance. About  one  in  a  hundred  exhibits  the  parietal 
tooth.  The  color  is  also  variable :  white,  straw-yellow,  lemon- 
yellow,  light  orange,  corneous,  fulvous,  various  shades  of 
brown,  sometimes  with  darker  stri  gallons,  and  frequently 
spirally  banded.  The  most  common  style  of  fasciation  con- 
sists of  from  one  to  four  narrow,  more  or  less  broken,  fulvous 
or  fulvous-brown  bands  on  the  body-whorl.  Fulvous-brown 
examples,  with  two  or  three  pale  bands,  are  not  so  common. 
The  last  appears  to  be  Morch's  type,  which  he  incorrectly  as- 
signs to  the  Viti  Islands." 

"The  metropolis  of  this  truly  protean  species  is  in  a  very 
large  semicircular  valley  on  the  north  coast  of  Moorea,  where 
it  occurs  in  prodigious  numbers  on  the  foliage  of  bushes.  In 
the  western  part  oi  the  same  valley,  where  it  exhibits  less 
variation,  it  gradually  intergrades  with  the  form  which  has 
been  distributed  under  the  name  of  nucleola  Pease,  which 
has  its  headquarters  in  a  small,  but  isolated,  valley  about 
two  miles  west  of  Opunohu. 


PARTULA,    MOOREA.  207 

' '  On  the  -southwest  part  of  the  island  we  find  tceniata  toler- 
ably abundant  in  three  valleys,  and,  like  the  shells  in  the 
western  part  of  Opunohu,  it  is  subject  to  much  less  variation 
than  obtains  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  same  valley.  The 
shells  from  the  southwest  coast  were  described  by  Pease  un- 
der the  name  of  P.  simulans  [pi.  29,  figs.  8,  12,  13]. 

"In  the  third  or  more  eastern  valley,  where  they  come  in 
contact  with  P.  elongata  and  lineata,  hybrids  between  the 
former  and  tceniata  are  so  numerous  that,  any  one  collecting 
in  that  valley  only  would,  without  hesitation,  pronounce  them 
one  and  the  same  species. 

"From  this  point  to  a  distance  of  several  miles,  the  valleys 
are  inhabited  by  lineata,  mooreana,  elongata  and  lineata,  var. 
stngosa,  only.  But  after  passing  Oahumi,  the  home  of  the 
latter  variety,  we  again  find  tceniata,  but  nearly  as  variable  as 
the  eastern  Opunohu  shells,  and  mixed  with  the  form  known 
as  striolata,  Pse.,  with  which  it  intergrades.  Here  I  found 
several  unmistakable  hybrids  between  strigosa  and  tceniata. 
All  the  valleys  between  this  latter  location  and  the  one  near- 
est to  Opunohu  are  inhabited  by  the  typical  form  striolata, 
which  scarcely  differs  from  nucleola,  except  in  being  smoother 
and  more  variegated  with  stripes.  In  a  large  valley  adja- 
cent to  Opunohu,  we  find  these  shells  by  thousands;  they 
differ  in  being  beautifully  striped  like  stngosa.  Here,  again, 
it  insensibly  graduates  into  the  typical  tceniata.  Whether  the 
inosculation  takes  place  through  hybrids  or  not  is  a  difficult 
question  to  decide.  In  looking  over  a  large  collection  from 
the  eastern  part  of  Opunohu,  I  find  some  of  the  small  forms 
are  not  dissimilar  to  the  typical  striolata,  which  has  suggested 
the  propriety  of  following  Dr.  Hartman  in  consolidating  the 
three  forms."  (Garrett).

An  example  of  P.  spadicea  received  from  Mr.  Cuming  in 
1862  is  smaller  than  Reeve's  figure,  but  resembles  it  in  other- 
wise. Though  labeled  "Marquesas"  it  is  apparently  a  form 
of  P.  elongata  Pease,  or  very  closely  related  to  that  species. 
Dr.  Hartman  has  referred  spadicea  to  P.  t&niata;  and  the 
figure  certainly  lias  a  close  resemblance  to  P.  simulans  Pse.,  a 
form  of  t&niata. 

P.  simulans  Pease,  based  on  shells  which  are  "plain  red- 
dish-brown yellowish  or  horn-color  ' '  or  with  ' '  three  inter- 
rupted transverse  bands  '  belongs  apparently  to  t&niata. 
PI.  28,  fig.  14  represents  the  cotype  originally  supplied  by 
Pease  for  pi.  1,  fig.  11  of  the  Am.  Journ.  Conch.  It  is  not 
fully  mature,  and  is  corneous  with  indistinct  brown  streaks. 
It  is  this  form  which  seems  to  be  identical  with  P.  spadicea 
Rve.  PI.  29,  figs.  8,  12  are  uniform  white  and  brown-banded 
examples  also  supplied  by  Pease  at  the  time  of  original  pub- 
lication. The  banded  examples  have  two  submedian  and  one 
umbilical  band,  on  a  corneous-whitish  ground.  Some  of 
these  shells  scarcely  differ  from  P.  t.  nucleola. 

P.  striolata  Pease,  seems  to  be  identical  with  t&niata  ex- 
cept in  coloration ;  it  is  dull  tawny-brown  with  a  few  whitish 
oblique  streaks.  The  columellar  tubercle  is  very  weak,  not 
prominent  as  in  nucleola.  Fig.  8,  pi.  27,  is  drawto  from  a 
cotype  received  from  Pease. 

Whitish-corneous,  solid  shells,  striped  closely  with  brown 
or  chestnut,  chiefly  on  the  last  whorl  (pi.  28,  fig.  7)  have  been 
distributed  by  Garrett  as  striolata,.  They  are  probably  closer

Another  race,  tangent  from  nucleola,  is  figured,  pi.  27,  fig. 
7.  The  dark  brown  shell  is  profusely  striped  on  the  last  l1/^ 
whorls  with  cream-white.  The  columellar  denticle  is  small 
and  prominent. 

P.  T.ENIATA  NUCLEOLA  'Pease'  Garrett.     PI.  29,  figs.  14,  15,  16. 

A  small,  compact,  ovate-conic  race.  The  surface  is  densely 
and  distinctly  striate  spirally,  but  little  shining,  corneous- 
whitish,  corneous-brown  with  wide  indistinct  darker  and 
paler  streaks,  yellowish-brown  or  chestnut  brown.  The  short 
spire  is  straightly  conic;  whorls  about  4-°;4>  the  last  full  be- 
low, rounded  or  somewhat  flattened  on  the  back.  The  colu- 
mella  bears  a  small  but  rather  acute  tubercle  in  the  middle, 
at  the  lower  end  of  the  axial  expansion.  There  is  no  parietal 
tooth,  but  sometimes  the  very  slight  indication  of  one  may 
be  seen. 

Length  15,  diam.  9,  aperture  8.4  mm. 

Length  16,  diam.  8.2,  aperture  8  mm. 

Length  14,  diam.  9,  aperture  8  mm. 

This  form  is  probably  more  primitive  than  the  typical 
tceniata.  It  stands  very  close  to  P.  filosa  of  Tahiti.  The  two 
are  apparently  of  common  origin.  According  to  Garrett, 
nucleola  intergrades  with  tccniata,  yet  it  appears  to  be  as 
distinct  as  elongata  is.  The  largest  examples  measure  18  x 
10,  apert.  9 y2  mm.  It  lives  in  a  small  valley  about  two  miles 
west  of  Opunohu.

Form  corneola  Hartman,  pi.  41,  figs.  15,  17.  A  form  of 
nucleola  has  been  described  as  a  distinct  species  under  the 
name  P.  corneola.  It  is  similar  to  P.  t.  nucleola  in  most  re- 
spects. The  surface  is  dilute  'brown  with  some  faint  whitish- 
corneous  streaks;  surface  very  beautifully  engraved  spirally, 
the  lines  close  and  somewhat  waved.  There  are  rather  coarse 
longitudinal  ivrinkles  on  the  back  of  the  last  whorl,  readily

appreciable  in  a  basal  view,  as  they  cause  the  periphery  to 
be  irregular.  The  lip  is  like  that  of  nucleola.  There  is  a 
small  nodule  above  the  middle  of  the  columella,  and  a  small 
but  iv ell-developed  callous  nodule  or  tooth  on  the  parietal 
wall,  deep  within  and  near  the  columella.

The  larger  of  the  two  shells  in  Dr.  Hartman's  collection 
(no.  4242  Carnegie  Museum)  may  be  considered  the  type  of 
this  'form  or  race,  if  it  be  found  racially  separable  from 
nucleola.  The  chief  difference  is  the  possession  of  a  parietal 
tooth  by  corneola,  which  is  wanting  or  only  weakly  developed 
in  nucleola.  The  back  of  the  last  whorl  is  also  somewhat 
more  roughened  in  corneola.  The  smaller  of  the  two  speci- 
mens mentioned  in  the  original  account  of  "corneola"  is 
identical  with  nucleola. 

Fig.  15  represents  the  type;  fig.  17  is  a  back  view  of  an 
example  in  coll.  Acad.  Nat.  Sciences,  showing  the  wrinkles 
and  the  longitudinal  streaking  of  the  last  whorl. 

I  suspect  that  P.  concinna  Pse.  was  based  on  a  specimen 
of  nucleola. 

P.  T.  ELONGATA  Pease.     PI.  29,  figs.  1  to  7,  9  to  11. 

"Shell  elongate,  slender,  turreted,  thin,  transparent,  shin- 
ing, transversely  very  finely  striated,  somewhat  roughened 
longitudinally,  narrowly  umbilicate ;  whorls  51/o,  flatly  con- 
vex, suture  somewvhat  impressed,  very  rarely  marginated; 
aperture  oblong  oval,  somewhat  oblique,  edentate,  one-half 
the  length  of  the  shell ;  lip  evenly  and  somewhat  roundly  re- 
flected. Horn  color  or  pale  rose,  striped  longitudinally,  or

more  or  less  interrupted. "  (Pease}. 

"The  headquarters  of  this  arboreal  species  is  in  Vaianai 
valley  on  the  southeast  coast  of  Moorea,  where  it  is  abundant, 
associated  with  P.  lineata  (=  suturalis)  and  P.  mooreana. 
It  occurs,  also,  but  in  less  numbers,  in  a  valley  to  the  west-

ward,  where  it  is  found  in  company  with  lineata  and  tcrniata. 
The  same  valley,  which  is  about  two  miles  from  Vaianai,  is 
the  limit  of  the  range  of  the  latter  species  on  that  part  of  the 
island,  and  hybrids  between  it  and  elongata  are  rather  com- 
mon, the  same  as  between  garrettii  and  thalia  at  Raiatea.  To 
the  eastward  of  Vaianai  it  ranges  throughout  the  small  val- 
leys for  a  distance  of  several  miles,  as  far  as  Oahumi,  the 
specific  centre  of  strigosa."  (Garrett).

This  form  seems  to  intergrade  perfectly  with  P.  taeniata, 
of  which  I  would  think  it  a  subspecies,  so  far  as  I 
can  judge  without  detailed  study  of  the  colonies  in  the 
field.  However,  Garrett  writes  "I  cannot  agree  with  Dr. 
Hartman  in  uniting  this  species  with  tceniata.  It  is  only 
through  hybrids  between  the  two  species  that  the  inoscula- 
tion takes  places.  Examples  taken  in  any  of  the  valleys 
not  inhabited  by  t&niata  prove  at  once  its  distinction." 

The  type  lot  received  from  Pease  contains  three  shells 
measuring 

Length  18.5,  diam.  9,  aperture  9.3  mm.,  5  whorls. 

Length  17.2,  diam.  8.8,  aperture  9.2  mm.,  4%  whorls. 

Length  16,  diam.  8.1,  aperture  8.9  mm.,  4%  whorls. 

One  shell  is  corneous-brown  with  inconspicuous  narrow 
darker  streaks,  another  is  corneous-white  with  white  streaks 
on  the  last  whorl,  while  the  third  (fig.  6,  and  A.  J.  Conch,  iii, 
pi.  1,  f.  2)  is  dilute  brown  with  indistinct,  wide  whitish 
corneous  streaks.  All  have  the  dense,  minute  spiral  sculpture 
of  taniata  and  its  allies.  The  whorls  are  not  very  convex, 
last  one  more  or  less  flattened  below  the  periphery,  very  con-

vex  at  base.  The  lip  is  narrowly  reflexed,  a  little  thickened 
within.  There  is  no  noticeable  callous  nodule  on  the  colu- 
inella,  and  no  parietal  tooth. 

Other  lots  show  a  wide  range  of  variation  in  form  and  color, 
apparently  showing  considerable  local  differentiation.  In  one 
lot  from  G-arrett  (pi.  29,  figs.  1,  2,  3,  4,  5)  there  are  several 
color-forms:  tawny  shells  with  narrow  browner  streaks  (fig. 
5)  ;  greenish  white  (fig.  1)  ;  pale  brown  or  whitish  with  4  in- 
terrupted bands  (figs.  2-4).  Another  lot  consists  of  yellow 
or  yellowish-corneous  shells,  very  indistinctly  streaked  (fig. 
11).  Still  other  forms  (figs.  9,  10)  approach  closely  to  typi- 
cal P.  tceniata,  in  color,  having  two  widely  separated  whitish 
bands  on  a  tawny-brown  ground.

A  thin  little  shell,  writes  M.  Morelet,  diaphanous,  finely 
striate  in  both  directions,  recognizable  by  the  obliquity  of  the 
aperture,  the  plane  of  which  is  inclined  backward,  as  well  as- 
by  the  angular  shape  of  the  last  whorl.  The  peristome  is  di- 
lated, reddish  at  the  edge,  thickened  by  a  white  callus  which 
is  sharply  limited  towards  the  inside.  The  slightly  curved 
columellar  margin  is  applied  over  the  umbilical  region  so  as 
to  almost  wholly  mask  the  opening. 

Dr.  Hartman  referred  this  form  to  P.  taniata,  but  the 
features  noticed  in  Morelet 's  remarks,  translated  above, 
hardly  warrant  such  a  disposition  of  it.  The  lip-color  and 


PARTULA,    RAIATEA    AND    TAHAA.  213 

the  angle  on  the  front  differentiate  P.  erhelii  from  otherwise 
similar  known  Moorean  forms.  M.  Morelet  states  that  it 
was  brought  from  Tahiti  by  M.  Erhel,  a  young  surgeon  of 
the  marine  service  who  died  in  Senegal. 

3.  Species  of  Raiatea  and  Tahaa. 

The  Partulae  of  these  two  islands  are  so  intimately  related 
that  they  must  be  treated  together.  The  separation  of  the 
islands  by  a  shallow  lagoon  about  two  miles  wide,  has  evi- 
dently been  a  quite  recent  event.  Both  islands  are  enclosed 
in  the  same  encircling  reef. 

The  extrinsic  relations  of  the  Partulae  are  with  Tahitian 
forms.  With  the  exceptions  of  P.  turgida  (no.  8)  and  P. 
attenudta  (no.  17)  already  described,  all  Raiatean  species 
may  credibly  be  assumed  to  have  descended  from  a  single 
ancestral  stock  which  was  also  the  common  parent  of  the 
otaheitana  group.  Subsequent  events  were  as  follows.  (1) 
Three  chief  branches  of  this  stock  arose :  the  faba  group,  the 
dentifera  group  and  the  liebe  group.  (2)  Each  of  these 
stocks  spread  over  the  available  area,  and  (3)  by  local  differ- 
entiation gave  rise  to  numerous  races,  which  are  still  doubt- 
less spreading  and  becoming  further  modified.  This  tertiary 
geographic  radiation  and  racial  differentiation  was  also  ac- 
companied by  an  adaptive  radiation  whereby  several  arboreal 
forms  gave  rise  to  terrestrial  species.  As  the  result  of  these 
events  we  find  most  available  stations  occupied  by  two  to  four 
species,  each  representing  one  of  the  three  stocks  derived 
from  differentiation  (1),  and  from  the  adaptation  to  terres- 
trial conditions. 

The  comparative  simplicity  of  the  distributional  conditions 
indicates  that  the  evolution  cycle  outlined  above  has  not 
been  of  great  duration.  By  analogy  with  known  cases,  dif- 
ferentiation (1)  probably  took  place  in  Pliocene  time. 

Most  Partulge  known  to  be  terrestrial  are  from  Raiatea  and 
Tahaa,  The  terrestrial  habit  is  no  doubt  a  readaptation  of 
arboreal  ancestors.  The  eoloration  approximates  to  the  dull 
tints  of  ground  snails.

Group  of  Partula  dentifera. 

These  arboreal  snails  of  Raiatea  and  Tahaa  are  character- 
ized by  the  usually  light  yellow  color  of  the  shell,  the  sum- 
mit white,  yellow,  pink,  or  purple-tipped;  lip  white,  thick- 
ened within,  more  or  less  strongly  toothed  within  the  outer 
lip  and  excised  above  the  tooth.  Columella  and  parietal 
wall  often  toothed.  The  species  are  closely  related  to  some 
of  the  faba  group. 

a.  Shell    denuded  of   cuticle,   openly   umbilicate;    aperture 
rounded-oval,  with  two  or  three  strong  teeth. 

P.  callifera,  no.  22. 
aa.  Cuticle  present;  aperture  ovate. 

b.  Lip  heavy,  keeled  on  the  face,  with  a  heavy  tooth 
above ;  no  columellar  or  parietal  teeth. 

P.  dentifera,  no.  24. 
bb.  Lip  thinner,  its  face  not  keeled,  tooth  smaller. 

c.  No  parietal  tooth,  but  having  a  columellar 

tooth;     umbilicate,     greenish-yellow,     length 

23  mm.  P.  citrina,  no.  25. 

cc.  Parietal  tooth  usually  developed;  nearly  or 

quite  imperf  orate;  length  17  to  21  mm. 

P.  imperforata,  no.  26. 

Properly  speaking,  this  group  consists  of  only  three  species : 
P.  callifera  of  Haamoa  valley,  Raiatea ;  P.  solidula  of  unknown 
locality,  and  P.  dentifera,  of  which  formosa,  citrina,  imper- 
forata and  virginea  are  scarcely  more  than  subspecies,  spread 
over  Raiatea  and  part  of  Tahaa.  P.  imperforata  raiatensis 
and  virginea  are  apparently  the  least  modified  survivors  of 
the  original  stock.

A  beautiful  and  very  distinct  species,  totally  lacking  cuticle 
in  adult  shells,  and  hence  having  a  dull  surface  and  cream- 
white  color;  the  early  whorls  generally  yellow,  sometimes 
white.  The  last  whorl  is  quite  inflated,  the  aperture  rounded- 
oval,  usually  three-toothed:  there  is  a  strong  parietal  tooth, 
a  wider  one  above  the  middle  of  the  outer  lip,  and  a  smaller 
denticle,  or  sometimes  only  an  indistinct  callous  nodule,  on 
the  columella.  The  lip  is  generally  thickened  on  the  face, 
which  is  usually  carinated.  The  size  varies  from  length  17, 
diam.  11  mm.,  to  length  21,  diam.  12y2  mm.  Fig.  3  repre-

stock,  not  rediscovered  by  Mr.  Garrett.  Pfeiffer's  figures 
evidently  do  not  apply  to  -exactly  the  same  form.  Hartman 
expressed  the  idea  that  solidula  is  a  large  form  of  P.  lutea.

differs  by  the  parietal  tooth.  Description  and  figure  from

Raiatea:  The  specific  centre  of  the  type  of  this  species  is 
in  the  large  valley  of  Vairahi,  on  the  east  coast  of  Raiatea, 
where  it  occurs  in  vast  numbers  on  foliage  in  company  with 
the  typical  P.  hebe.  It  has  not  spread  at  all  to  the  south- 
ward, but  a  variety  occurs  in  an  adjacent  valley  on  the  other 
side.  ( Garrett} .

contracted,  forming  a  conspicuous  sinus.  A  very  rare  variety 
occurs  of  a  ruddy  brown  color,  purple-black  apex,  and  flesh- 
colored  peristome.  Examples  with  a  white  sutural  line  are 
not  infrequent  and  most  shells  are  a  little  paler  below  the 
suture ;  otherwise  it  is  never  ornamented  with  bands ;  even 
the  most  perfect  specimens  always  have  the  cuticle  more  or 
less  decorticated  behind  the  peristome,  which  suggested  the 
provisional  name  decorticata.  The  above  notes,  slightly  modi- 
fied from  Garrett,  apply  to  the  typical  P.  dentifera  from 
Vairahi  valley,  of  which  P.  labiata  Pease  (fig.  9)  is  an  exact 
synonym.  In  this  form  a  parietal  tooth  is  never  developed. 
The  color  varies  commonly  from  straw  to  light  greenish  yellow. 
The  figured  shell  (fig.  9)  measures,  length  21,  diam.  11,  aper- 
ture 12  mm.  but  it  is  sometimes  as  small  as  19  mm.  long. 

Garrett  states  that  north  of  Vairahi  valley,  P.  dentifera 
;'has  migrated  into  a  small  adjacent  valley,  where  it  is  much 
less  abundant,  and  differs  from  the  type  in  about  half  of  the 
specimens  having  a  prominent  parietal  tooth  (which  is  al- 
ways absent  in  examples  inhabiting  Vairahi)  ;  otherwise  the 
shells  are  not  dissimilar. ' '  Examples  of  this  dentate  race  are 
figured  pi.  20,  figs.  7,  8.  It  certainly  approaches  close  to 
P.  imperforata  raiatensis. 

P.  dentifera  is  never  banded,  and  the  apex,  though  often 
yellow,  is  never  rose-colored,  as  it  often  is  in  P.  imperforata.

The  metropolis  of  this  very  distinct  species  is  in  Fatimu, 
or  on  the  southwest  part  of  Raiatea.  It  occurs  in  vast  num- 
bers on  bushes  on  the  lowlands  near  the  seashore,  becoming 
more  scarce  inland,  where  it  is  found  associated  with  P. 
hebe,  var.  bella.  It  ranges  north  as  far  as  Vaiau  valley,  be- 
coming less  and  less  abundant  as  the  distance  increases  from 
its  specific  centre.  (Garrett).

This  species  stands  very  close  to  P.  dentifera  and  P.  im- 
perforata.  It  differs  from  dentifera  by  the  flattened  or  in- 
wardly sloping  lip,  which  is  not  keeled  on  the  face,  by  the 
less  prominent  tubercle  within  the  outer  lip,  and  by  the  more 
emphatic  nodule  on  the  columella.  Compared  with  P.  im- 
perforata,  it  differs  by  the  absence  of  a  parietal  tooth,  the 
usually  lighter  color,  larger  size  and  slightly  open  umbilicus, 
all  being  inconstant  characters.  Garrett  writes  as  follows: 
"Though  considered  by  some  authors  to  be  a  variety  of  P. 
faba,  I  am,  nevertheless,  fully  convinced  of  its  specific  value. 
When  I  first  discovered  it  in  1861,  I  took  but  few  examples, 
in  consequence  of  not  penetrating  far  enough  into  the  valley 
to  find  its  headquarters.  A  more  extended  research  in  1873 


220  PARTULA,    RAIATEA   AND   TAHAA. 

revealed  its  specific  centre,  and  I  took  about  eight  hundred 
specimens  in  various  stages  of  growth,  and  many  of  the  adults 
were  in  a  gravid  condition. 

"It  has  been  suggested  that  it  may  be  a  hybrid  be- 
tween faba  and  some  other  species,  I  only  noticed 
faba  and  garrettii  in  the  lower  part  of  the  valley,  and  not  in 
the  upper  portion,  which  is  the  principal  haunt  of  citrina. 
Its  uniform  straw-yellow  -color,  more  slender  form,  smaller 
perforation,  more  reflected  columella,  and  more  decided  labial 
tooth,  and  profounder  emargination,  will  distinguish  it  from 
the  very  variable  faba. 

"My  largest  examples  are  25  mill,  in  length  and  12  in  dia- 
meter. It  is  always  of  a  straw-yellow  color,  rarely  with  faint 
longitudinal  darker  strigations,  and  is  either  lemon-yellow 
or  light  red  at  the  apex.  It  is  never  spirally  banded,  and 
the  parietal  wall  is  invariably  edentate.  The  oblong  white 
aperture  is,  including  the  peristome,  half  the  length  of  the 
shell.  The  ivory-white  lip  is  broadly  expanded,  planulate, 
declivous,  strongly  labiated,  slightly  dentate  and  distinctly 
emarginate  above.  The  slightly  gibbous  columella  is  re- 
flected over  the  small  compressed  perforation."

"Like  all  the  species,  they  differ  some  in  size,  shape,  and 
some  have  the  spire  more  abbreviated  than  others.  The  type, 
which  inhabits  Hapai  valley,  is  nearly  always  imperforated 
and  may  be  distinguished  from  the  imperforate  formosa  by 
its  smaller  size,  gibbous  columella  and  parietal  tooth.  Car- 
penter confused  it  with  dentifera,  an  allied  species  confined 
to  the  opposite  side  of  the  island"  (Garrett). 

Garrett 's  description,  slightly  modified,  is  given  above. 
His  figured  cotype  and  two  others  of  the  same  lot  are  illus- 
trated, pi.  20,  figs.  13-15.  The  length  varies  commonly  from 
19  to  21  mm.,  diam.  usually  11  mm.  It  differs  from  P. 
dentifera  by  the  smaller  tooth  in  the  outer  lip,  by  having  a 
more  or  less  distinct  oblong  callus  lump  on  the  columella 
near  its  insertion,  and  a  small  parietal  tooth  (sometimes  ab- 
sent) ;  the  face  of  the  lip  is  less  thickened  than  in  dentifera. 
It  is  a  less  evolved  race  than  dentifera. 

Typical  imperforata  is  confined  to  Hapai  valley.  The 
valley  Toloa  is  inhabited  by  a  weakly  individualized  local  race 
which  has  been  called  raiatensis  Garrett  (pi.  20,  figs.  16,  17) 
and  recta  Pse.  (in  coll.  1863)  not  P.  recta  Pse.  1868.  Gar- 
rett writes:  "After  a  careful  study  of  about  2000  specimens 
of  the  two  species,  I  have  annexed  the  Toloa  with  the  Hapai 
shell.  The  only  difference  between  the  two  is  that  raiatensis 
is  usually  lighter-colored,  seldom  imperforate,  and  the  apex  is 


222  PARTULA,    RAIATEA   AND   TAHAA. 

much  more  frequently  rose-red.  It  is,  I  think,  more  nearly 
related  to  the  dentated  virginea,  inhabiting  the  neighboring 
island,  than  to  dentifera."  This  conclusion  is  fully  sup- 
ported by  the  series  before  me,  received  from  Pease,  Garrett 
and  others.

what shining,  yellowish  corneous  or  light  fulvous  brown;

margined  by  a  whitish  line;  whorls  5-5^,  slightly  convex;

gins frequently  nearly  united  by  a  ridge  of  callus;  colu-

Raiatea:  The  specific  centre  is  in  Vaipiti  valley,  on  the

fusion on  the  foliage  of  shrubs.  It  has  extended  its  range 
to  the  northward  as  far  as  Murifanna  on  the  north  coast,

of  imperforata.  Although  I  give  Garrett's  description  above, 
I  am  convinced  that  no  study  of  descriptions  or  of  the  type 
specimens,  which  I  have  'before  me,  would  enable  one  to 
separate  a  series  of  the  two  forms  if  mixed.  The  distinc- 
tion is  based  chiefly  on  geographic  distribution  but  also 
to  some  extent  on  the  diverse  variations  of  the  two  forms. 
Pale  specimens  of  virginea  usually  have  the  apex  purple- 
tipped  (not  pink,  as  in  raiatensis}  ;  but  the  darker  shells  have 
the  embryonic  whorls  white.  The  only  closely  related  or 
similar  shell  on  Tahaa  is  P.  planilabrum,  which  belongs  to 
the  faba  series.

Raiatea:  "The  specific  centre  of  the  type  of  this  small 
white  species  is  in  the  large  valley  of  Faaloa,  on  the  eastern 
coast  of  Raiatea,  where  it  is  found  in  great  profusion  on  the 
foliage  of  bushes.  From  this  central  point  it  has  migrated

to  the  northward,  where  it  is  found,  though  less  abundant,  in 
an  adjacent  valley,  associated  with  the  typical  P.  dentifera. 
About  two  miles  to  the  southward,  on  the  same  side  of  the 
island,  in  a  large  valley  called  Opoa,  is  found  in  large  num- 
bers the  pretty  variety  bella  Pse.,  which  has  passed  over  a 
range  of  wooded  hills  into  a  large  valley  on  the  south  coast, 
where  it  occurs  in  limited  numbers  in  company  with  P.  for-

Typical  P.  hebe  (pi.  21,  fig.  1)  has  the  shell  covered  with 
a  very  thin  white  more  or  less  shining  cuticle,  upon  which 
delicate  spiral  lines  may  be  seen  under  the  lens.  Most  ex- 
amples have  lost  their  cuticle  and  have  a  matte  white  sur- 
face (figs.  2,  3).  The  size  and  proportions  vary  but  little, 
the  usual  size  being,  length  15,  diam.  10.2  to  11,  length 
aperture  8.2  to  8.8  mm. 

The  outer  lip  is  rather  narrow  in  the  typical  form ;  in  the 
heavy,  denuded  examples  it  is  wide  and  heavily  thickened 
within,  generally  showing  a  trace  of  the  tooth  or  tubercle 
above  the  middle  which  is  so  prominent  in  the  related  faba 
group.  It  is  often  thickened  on  the  face  and  convex  or 
carinate  there.  The  columella  in  oblique  view  in  the  aper- 
ture, is  very  wide. 

This  charming  snail  has  several  close  relatives  among  the 
dull  ground-living  species,  such  as  P.  crassilabris  etc.

P.  HEBE  BELLA  'Pse.'  Hartman  (pi.  21,  figs.  4,  8)  has  the 
spire  orange  rose  colored,  usually  darker  towards  the  apex. 
The  surface  is  glossy,  covered  with  a  very  thin  yellow  cuticle 
which  is  usually  deciduous  in  part,  or  is  entirely  lost, 
when  the  whole  surface  is  lusterless.  The  shell  is  often 
more  solid  than  typical  P.  hebe.  This  form  was  named 
P.  globosa  and  P.  h.  bella  by  Pease  many  years  ago,  but  it 
was  in  no  manner  described  until  Dr.  Hartman  reported  on 
Pease's  duplicates. 

I  am  unable  to  find  much  cause  for  recognizing  var. 
ventricosa  Garrett,  1884  (pi.  21,  figs.  6,  7).  It  "is  usually 
a  little  smaller  than  the  type,  not  decorticated,  and  is  more 
variable  in  color,  but  never  banded.  The  ground  color  varies 
from  whitish  to  fulvous,  rarely  with  a  reddish  spire,  but 
more  frequently  with  the  apex  of  a  purple-brown."  (Gar- 
rett}. The  cuticle  is  decidedly  thicker  than  in  other  forms 
of  hebe;  it  peels  off  in  an  area  behind  the  lip,  but  is  else- 
where persistent.  The  parietal  tooth  is  smaller  than  in  other

rett.  This  form  is  probably  what  Dr.  Hartman  refers  to  as 
"P.  ventrosa  Pse."  (t.  c.,  p.  193).  It  approaches  P.  cras- 
silabris,  a  ground  species,  but  differs  by  its  much  larger 
parietal  tooth,  etc.

The  shell  is  umbilicate,  short,  ovate-conic,  moderately  thick. 
Surface  rather  dull,  lightly  marked  with  growth-lines  and 
usually  showing  engraved  spiral  lines  distinctly  on  all  the 
whorls;  brown  or  corneous-brown,  the  base  darker,  spire  or 
apex  usually  purplish-brown;  periphery  frequently  (and 
typically)  encircled  with  a  yellow  belt  or  line.  The  conic 
spire  has  straight  sides;  whorls  4%,  only  slightly  convex,  the 
last  rotund.  The  aperture  is  small,  rounded-ovate,  dark 
flesh-colored  inside.  Peristome  expanded,  thick  in  adult 
shells,  thickened  within,  its  face  convex,  white,  or  brownish 
towards  the  outer  edge.  Outer  lip  is  a  little  narrower  above, 
but  not  dentate ;  at  the  insertion  it  gives  off  a  short  parietal

Raiatea :  The  metropolis  of  this  species  is  in  Hapai  valley, 
on  the  west  coast  of  Raiatea,  the  home  of  P.  imperforata 
and  lugiibris.  It  is  very  abundant,  lurking  beneath  decay- 
ing vegetation  and  found  associated  with  the  typical  form 
of  P.  lugubris.  It  has  not  spread  any  to  the  northward,  but 
to  the  southward  it  has  migrated  into  two  small  ravines.

This  small  ground-snail  is  very  closely  related  to  P.  hebe. 
It  differs  from  that  by  the  dull  brown  color,  smaller  parietal 
tooth  (which  indeed  is  sometimes  wanting),  the  less  ex- 
panded lip,  and  persistent  cuticle.  The  description  and 
fig.  10  are  from  Pease's  type  lot,  no.  59477  A.  N.  S.  P.  The 
color  is  variable. 

a.  Yellowish  'chestnut,  the  base  darker,  summit  purplish,  a 
pale  brown  peripheral  line  (fig.  5). 

6.  Chestnut,  the  spire  darker,  purplish;  often  a  white  hair- 
line at  suture  (fig.  9). 

c.  Light  brown  or  brownish-corneous,  summit  darker,  peri- 
phery indistinctly  marked  with  a  light  or  a  dark  band. 

d.  Greenish-corneous,  lip  pure  white.     An  albino.

The  shell  is  rather  openly  umbilicate,  obesely  ovate-conic, 
somewhat  thin.  Surface  rather  dull,  lightly  marked  with 
growth-lines  and  spiral  engraved  lines,  which  are  generally 
subobsolete  on  the  last  whorl  except  near  suture  and  base; 
chestnut-brown,  sometimes  ha.ving  a  pale  belt,  or  pale  brown- 
ish-corneous, the  summit  or  spire  purplish-brown.  Spire 
conic  with  straight  outlines;  whorls  4%,  slightly  convex,  the 
last  rotund.  The  umbilicus  has  a  more  or  less  distinct  spiral 
groove  or  excavation  within.  Aperture  subvertical,  ovate, 
dark  flesh-colored  within ;  peristome  narrowly  expanded, 
thickened  within,  noticeably  narrower  near  the  upper  inser- 
tion. Columellar  margin  sinuate d  or  weakly  nodose  with- 
in; in  oblique  view  less  wide  than  P.  crassilabris.  Parietal 
wall  covered  with  a  transparent  callus  which  is  rather  thick 
at  the  edge,  and  often  bears  a  very  small  tooth  far  within.

Raiatea:  The  metropolis  of  this  species  is  in  a  large 
valley  called  Toloa,  on  the  west  coast  of  Raiatea,  where  it 
occurs  in  great  abundance  beneath  decaying  vegetation.  It 
has  migrated  to  the  southward  into  two  small  adjacent  val- 
leys, but  does  not  extend  its  range  so  far  as  Hapai,  the  next 
large  valley,  and  the  home  of  the  allied  P.  crassilabris.

Garrett  writes  as  follows:  "It  is  larger,  less  globose,  the 
aperture  more  oblong,  than  P.  crassilabris  with  which  it  has 
been  confounded.  Its  chief  character  consists  in  the  colu-

mellar  region  'being,  as  it  were,  pressed  in  towards  the  aper- 
ture, nodulous  on  the  inner  margin,  and  subangulated  at  the 
base.  The  parietal  tooth  is  less  developed  and  absent  more 
frequently  than  in  crassilabris.  The  coloration  is  the  same 
in  the  two  species.  Like  the  majority  of  the  ground  species, 
it  varies  in  a  greater  or  less  degree  in  shape  and  size.  Some 
forms  almost  exactly  simulate  P.  garrettii,  not  only  in  the  out- 
line of  the  shell,  but  in  the  peculiar  shape  of  the  aperture  as 
modified  by  the  columella  being  pressed  inwardly.  Occa- 
sionally examples  occur  which  are  so  much  abbreviated  that 
they  resemble  P.  crassilabris,  but  may  readily  be  separated  by 
the  dissimilarity  in  the  columellar  region. 

"My  P.  pinguis,  of  which  I  have  seen  only  a  dozen  ex- 
amples, was  found  under  decaying  leaves  in  the  mountain 
ravines,  at  the  head  of  Vaioara  valley.  It  certainly  equals 
rustica."  (Garrett).

The  shell  is  minutely  rimate  or  imperforate,  oblong-ovate, 
solid  and  strong,  slightly  shining,  lightly  marked  with 
growth-strife  and  minute  engraved  spiral  lines,  which  are 
usually  more  or  less  obsolete  on  the  last  whorl;  yellowish, 
the  spire  either  paler,  apex  white,  or  spire  pink-tinted  with 
the  apex  purplish  flesh  colored.  Suture  very  lightly  impressed, 
edged  with  a  white  line.  Whorls  5,  very  slightly  convex. 
Aperture  is  oblique,  white  within.  Peristome  very  narrowly 
expanded,  thick,  the  face  convex  or  keeled,  pure  white ;  in-

former  direction  'has  slightly  overlapped  the  southern  range  of

Differs  from  the  related  P.  thalia  and  P.  nistica  by  its 
less  inflated  form,  extremely  narrow  or  closed  umbilicus,  less 
expanded  lip  and  strongly  developed  columellar  sinuosity. 
Garrett  remarks  that  "Its  principal  characters  are  its  small 
size,  contracted  aperture,  rounded  or  angulated  peristome 
and  nodulous  columella,  which  latter  is,  as  it  were,  pushed  in 
towards  the  aperture.  The  parietal  region  is  very  rarely 
toothed.  It  is  whitish  or  pale  yellowish  horn-color,  rarely 
fulvous  or  light  brown,  and  sometimes  the  apex  is  purple- 
brown.  A  variety  with  a  brown  base  and  sutural  band  is  not 
infrequent." 

Fig.  15  represents  one  of  Pease's  original  lot.  Fig.  19 
is  somewhat  intermediate  between  garretti  and  rustica.  It 
has  the  columella  and  almost  closed  umbilicus  of  garretti,  but 
a  somewhat  fuller  shape  and  a  minute  parietal  tooth.

The  shell  is  globoscly  ovate,  solid,  rather  dull  openly  um- 
bilicate,  roundly  angulate  at  the  umbilicus,  very  delicately 
striated  spirally.  Whorls  4!/o,  convex,  the  last  swollen. 
Aperture  rounded-oval,  toothed.  Lip  internally  thickened,

Tahaa :  The  metropolis  of  this  well-defined  species  is  in  a 
large  valley  called  Haamene,  on  the  east  coast  of  Tahaa,  where 
they  are  found  in  prodigious  numbers  on  the  foliage  of  low 
bushes.  It  has  not  spread  any  to  the  southward,  but,  on  the 
other  hand,  ranges  in  considerable  numbers  through  all  the 
valleys,  except  Faa-apa,  the  home  of  bilineata,  as  far  as 
Murifanna  on  the  northwest  coast,  where  it  is  found  asso- 
ciated with  P.  virginea.  (Garrett}.

P.  umbilicata  unites  characters  of  the  auriculata  and  the 
rustica  groups  in  some  degree,  though  nearer  rustica,  of  which 
it  might  be  called  a  very  large  and  obese  edition.  The  outer 
lip  is  a  little  narrower  in  its  upper  fourth  than  in  P.  thalia, 
and  there  is  a  distinct  callus,  often  dentiform,  superposed 
upon  the  columella.  The  parietal  tooth  varies  from  small  to 
well  developed,  and  seems  to  be  invariably  present.  There 
is  often  an  indistinct  appearance  of  several  angles  in  the  out- 
line of  the  outer  lip,  which  is  moderately  expanded,  and 
cream-white  behind,  white  on  the  face.  The  whole  surface 
generally  shows  spiral  strias.  Umbilicus  much  wider  than 
in  P.  thalia.  The  last  whorl  is  typically  well  inflated,  but 
I  have  seen  specimens  with  a  strong  peripheral  angle,  from 
retention  of  a  juvenile  character  in  the  adult  stage. 

Color  various;  the  commonest  pattern  before  me  is  chest- 
nut, fading  to  yellowish-white  below  the  last  suture,  gradu- 
ally shading  to  purplish-black  at  the  apex ;  but  sometimes  the 
whole  shell  is  straw-color.  In  fig.  11  it  shows  one  of  the 
common  color-patterns  of  the  faba  group.  Figs.  13,  14  rep-

"P.  compressa  Pfr."  Garrett 's  type,  no.  59409  A.  N.  S.  P. 
is  figured,  fig.  5.  Others  from  Pease  (fig.  6),  Hartman  and 
others  are  before  me.  P.  radiata  stands  very  close  to  P. 
fusca  approximata  of  the,,  southern  part  of  Raiatea,  but  it  is 
duller,  with  a  larger  lip-tooth  and  generally  it  has  a  parietal 
tooth.  In  the  several  forms  of  P.  fusca,  the  parietal  tooth, 
when  present,  is  not  so  large  as  in  radiata. 

A  form  which  Pease  called  P.  microstoma  (in  his  collection, 
1863),  and  which  inhabits  Vairahi  valley,  "though  very  fre- 
quently found  adhering  to  the  lower  portion  of  the  trunks  of 
trees  and  shrubs,  can  scarcely  be  separated  from  radiata, 
which  is  strictly  terrestrial  in  habit.  Dr.  Hartman  unites  it 
with  P.  vittata.  It  appears  to  me  more  nearly  related  to 
radiata  than  the  latter,  which  is  smoother,  and  the  columellar 
lip  is  flat  and  simple."  (Garrett).

received  from  Hartman.  It  measures,  length  23.7,  diam.  13, 
aperture  12.2  mm.,  has  the  shape  of  radiata,  but  the  tooth 
within  the  outer  lip  is  less  developed.  There  is  no  parietal 
tooth.  The  base  of  the  last  whorl  and  a  band  below  the 
suture,  ascending  the  spire  are  chestnut,  leaving  a  rather  wide 
pale  buff  zone.  The  surface  is  not  quite  so  dull  as  in 
radiata.  Whether  this  form  is  identical  with  Garrett's 
Vairahi  microstoma  remains  uncertain.  The  discussion  be- 
tween Hartman  and  Garrett  about  the  identity  of  Pease's 
microstoma  is  academic,  since  Pease  never  described  the  form. 
It  was  first  described  (by  accident,  and  quite  unrecognizably) 
from  Hartman 's  collection,  by  H.  H.  Smith,  as  cited  above. 

According  to  Garrett,  specimens  which  he  regards  as  hybrids 
between  P.  radiata  and  P.  fab  a  are  of  common  occurrence.

This  is  a  very  thin  member  of  the  faba,  group,  deficient  in 
lip  callus  and  teeth,  smaller  and  more  lightly  built  than 
P.  fusca,  which  is  also  a  ground  snail. 

The  race  described  by  Pease  as  P.  ovalis  (pi.  19,  fig.  7) 
differs  from  lugubris  only  by  being  a  little  larger,  more  solid, 
with  a  stronger  lip-callus.  It  replaces  lugubris  in  Vaiau 
valley,  the  typical  lugubris  being  confined  to  Hapai  valley. 
It  approaches  very  near  to  P.  vittata,  which  is  a  larger  form 
with  longer  spire  and  a  small  parietal  tooth.  The  ovalis  form 
is  usually  dark  chestnut  with  a  yellowish  belt,  but  sometimes 
is  of  a  uniform  chestnut  hue. 

Mr.  Garrett  writes:  "My  largest  Vaiau  specimens  are  20y2 
mm.  long,  and  11  mm.  in  diameter.  The  smallest  adult  from 
Hapai  is  16  by  8  mm.  I  have  found  hybrids  between  lugubris 
and  imperforata,  the  latter  a  strictly  arboreal  species. 

"Dr.  Hartman,  overlooking  the  fact  that  lugubris,  ovalis, 
protea  and  fusca  inhabit  widely  separated  valleys,  has  sug- 
gested that  the  three  former  may  be  the  juvenile  and  adoles- 
cent forms  of  the  adult  fusca.  The  habitats  of  the  two  former 
species  are  about  two  miles  apart,  and  five  miles  south  of  the 
location  of  fusca.  P.  protea,  which  =  fusca,  is  confined  to 
the  opposite  side  of  the  island,  and  is  separated  from  the  lat- 
ter by  an  almost  inaccessible  mountain."

No  description. 

P.  faba  was  first  obtained  when  Captain  Cook  visited 
Raiatea  in  1769.  Andrew  Garrett  writes  as  follows: 

' '  The  type  varies  from  straw-yellow  to  brownish  yellow  or 
fulvous,  with  a  broad  basal  and  narrow  sutural  chestnut- 
brown  band.  The  most  common  bandless  variety  is  of  the 
normal  color  varied  with  longitudinal  darker  strigations.  A 
variety  of  a  uniform,  whitish  horn-color,  as  well  as  one  of  a 
uniform  chestnut-brown,  sometimes  approaching  black,  is  not 
infrequent.  The  lip  is  white,  and  the  apex  frequently  tinted 
with  purple-black. 

They  vary  considerably  in  shape,  as  the  following  measure- 
ments will  prove : 

Length  25,  diam.  14  mill. 

Length  25,  diani.  12  mill. 

The  average  dimension  is  25  *by  13  mill.  Out  of  about 
6000  examples  I  found  but  one  possessing  the  parietal  tooth. 
Hybrids  between  this  species  and  radiata,  fusca  and  naviga- 
toria  are  not  uncommon." 

Fig.  1  is  a  copy  ot  Martyn's  type  figure.  Fig.  2  is  a  more 
streaked  example  of  the  typical  form.  Deep  brown  (fig.  3), 
and  greenish-yellow  (fig.  4),  examples  are  also  drawn.  Figs. 
5  to  8  are  from  a  series  collected  by  C.  D.  Voy,  presumably  in 
one  colony,  the  several  color-forms  being  connected  by  inter- 
mediate stages. 

P.  subangulata,  amanda,  navigatoria  and  fusca  might  be 
ranked  as  subspecies  of  faba  without  going  far  wrong.

The  pale  subsutural  band  gives  the  shoulder  an  appearance 
of  angulation,  which  does  not  really  exist.  While  the  Tahaan 
forms  of  the  faba  type  differ  but  little  from  Raiatean  faba, 
yet  their  variation-forms  are  somewhat  diverse,  and  the  minor 
differences  noted  above  seem  fairly  constant.  I  have  therefore 
thought  it  best,  in  view  of  the  minute  specific  subdivision  of 
Raiatean  Partula?,  to  give  subangulata  specific  rank. 

36a.  P.  s.  AMANDA  Garrett.     PI.  17,  figs.  1,  2,  3. 

The  shell  is  like  subangulata  in  shape,  but  it  occasionally 
has  a  small  tooth  on  the  parietal  wall.  The  usual  color  is 
pale  yellow  or  greenish  yellow,  almost  white  towards  the 
summit,  or  more  or  less  suffused  with  fulvous,  with  a  white 
or  flesh-tinted  lip.  "A  beautiful  variety  occurs  which  has  a 
wide  median  reddish  chestnut  band  (fig.  1).  A  more  common 
variety  is  found  with  two  narrow  reddish  chestnut  bands" 
(fig.  2)  ;  the  summit  in  these  is  purple-black.  '"Chestnut- 
brown  varieties  are  not  uncommon.  The  rarest  variety  is 
fasciated  the  same  as  the  typical  faba."  (Garrett).

A  subvariety  of  amanda  has  been  called  var.  dubia  Garrett 
(pi.  17,  figs.  4,  8)  but  that  name  was  already  in  use  for  a 
Tahitian  form  of  the  otaheitana  group.  It  is  yellow  with  a 
white  spire,  white  lip,  and  invariably  has  a  parietal  tooth. 
Some  specimens  have  a  chestnut  umbilical  area,  or  are  some- 
what suffused  and  streaked  with  fulvous,  and  the  apex  is 
pinkish  brown.  This  form  is  found  in  some  valleys  on  the 
north  coast. 

37.  P.  NAVIGATORIA  (Pfeiffer).     PI.  16,  figs.  9  to  13. 

Shell  perforate,  dextral,  oblong-ovate,  solid,  obsoletely 
granulose-striate,  rather  shining;  fulvous,  marked  with  close 
darker  lines.  Spire  conic,  rather  acute,  suture  light,  white- 
edged.  Whorls  5,  nearly  flat,  the  last  longer  than  the  spire. 
Aperture  oblong,  narrow,  whitish  within,  provided  with  a 
small  callous  [parietal]  tooth  deep  on  the  ventral  side  of  the 
penult  whorl.  Peristome  somewhat  thickened,  strongly 
white-lipped  within,  the  margins  parallel,  right  margin  nar- 
rowly expanded,  somewhat  toothed  in  the  middle,  columellar 
margin  dilated,  fiat,  reflexed.  Length  23,  diam.  11,  aperture

ally lurking  beneath  decaying  vegetation,  but  sometimes  taken 
on  the  trunks  of  trees.  (Garrett).

This  form  differs  from  P.  faba  chiefly  by  having  the  last 

two  whorls  less  convex  than  usual  in  that  species,  and  the 

aperture  is  narrower,  more  contracted.     Moreover  it  lives  for 

the  most  part  on  the  ground,  and  has  its  own  patterns  of 

•  coloring,  which  however  do  not  differ  much  from  the  patterns 


240  PARTULA,    RAIATEA    AND    TAHAA. 

of  faba  and  fusca.  Garrett  writes  that  "hybrids  between  this 
species  and  fusca  and  faba  are  very  frequent." 

The  typical  coloration  of  navigatoria  (fig.  9,  copied  from 
Reeve)  and  the  synonymous  varidbilis  is  yellow,  profusely 
streaked  with  chestnut,  the  spire  often  pinkish.  This  is  the 
normal  or  usual  form.  Other  patterns  are: 

Uniform  yellow.     Not  common. 

Uniform  dark  chestnut,  or  with  pale  apex.     Not  common. 

The  last  form,  greenish  yellow,  the  base  and  a  subsutural 
band  chestnut,  is  not  uncommon;  it  resembles  typical  P. 
faba  in  pattern. 

' '  The  parietal  tooth  mentioned  by  Pf eiffer,  but  not  alluded 
to  by  Reeve  or  Pease,  is  not  constant,  but  exists  in  about  two- 
fifths  of  the  adults.  The  former  author's  'medio  subden- 
tato,'  likewise  not  mentioned  by  the  latter  two  writers,  is 
simply  the  lower  angle  of  the  small  labial  sinus. 

"In  shape  it  varies  from  ovate  to  oblong-ovate,  as  the  fol- 
lowing two  measurements  will  show:  Length  25,  diam. 
13  mm.;  length  20,  diam.  13  mm."  (Garrett). 

38.  P.  PUSCA  Pease.     PI.  17,  figs,  5,  6,  7. 

' '  Shell  umbilicated,  solid,  varying  from  an  abbreviate-ovate 
to  oblong-ovate,  roughly  striated  by  irregular  lines  of  growth, 
and  the  usual  fine  spiral  incised  lines  become  evanescent  on 
the  body- whorl ;  spire  convexly  conical,  less  than  half  the 
length  of  the  shell ;  suture  linearly  impressed,  frequently  mar- 
gined by  a  thread-like  white  line;  whorls  5-6,  more  or  less 
flatly  convex,  last  one  large,  convex,  rounded  or  turgid,  some- 
times slightly  angled  just  above  the  aperture;  base  more 
openly  umbilicated  than  usual  in  the  ground  species;  aper- 
ture subvertical,  oblong,  sides  nearly  parallel ;  parietal  region 
more  or  less  glazed  with  callus,  and  sometimes  dentate ;  peris- 
tome  rather  broadly  expanded,  moderately  thick,  slanting, 
flat  or  concave,  strongly  incrassated  within  and  sinuous 
above ;  columellar  lip  depressed,  receding  or  transversely 
grooved  above.  Color  very  variable :  whitish  corneous,  straw- 
yellow,  fulvous,  light  or  dark  chestnut,  sometimes  brown-

black,  and  frequently  strigated.  Yellowish  horn-colored  ex- 
amples with  the  base  and  the  sutural  band  chestnut,  are  not 
uncommon.  The  lip,  though  usually  white,  is  frequently  mar- 
gined with  purple-brown.  Length  20,  diam.  11  mm. 

"The  above  is  about  the  average  dimensions.  My  largest 
example  is  24  by  IS1/!*  and  the  smallest  adult  17  by  10  mm. 
Sometimes,  though  rarely,  the  spire  equals  half  the  length  of 
the  shell.  Very  old  examples  have  a  more  or  less  nodulous 
columella  and  a  more  or  less  distinct  denticle  on  the  outer 
lip."  (Garrett).

Raiatea:  The  metropolis  of  this  very  variable  ground 
species  is  in  Vaioara  valley,  on  the  west  coast  of  Raiatea,  the 
headquarters  of  P.  garrettii  and  navigatoria.  It  has  not 
migrated  any  to  the  southward,  but  to  the  northward  it  oc- 
curs sparingly  far  up  in  Huaru  valley.  On  the  opposite  side 
of  the  island  it  is  found  in  Tepua  valley,  and  I  took  a  few 
in  a  small  ravine  more  to  the  southward.  The  Tepua  shell, 
which  is  the  protea  Pse.,  differs  none  from  his  fusca. 
(Garrett). 

'  Hybrids  between  protea  and  the  arboreal  P.  faba  are  not 
uncommon,  and  are  usually  found  adhering  to  the  lower 
parts  of  the  trunks  of  trees. 

'In  Vaioara,  hybrids  between  fusca  and  navigatoria,  and 
between  the  two  former  and  faba,  are  so  frequent  as  to  be 
very  embarrassing  in  the  separation  of  the  three  species  col- 
lected in  that  valley.  Like  the  Tepua  hybrids,  all  those  be- 
tween the  two  ground  species  and  the  arboreal  faba  live  on 
the  lower  parts  of  the  trunks  of  trees."  (Garrett).

Illustrated  from  specimens  received  from  Garrett.  Others 
from  Pease  are  before  me.  This  snail  lives  under  cover  on  the 
ground,  and  the  shell  is  less  glossy  than  navigatoria  or  faba 
which  differ  from  fused  and  vittata  chiefly  by  their  arboreal 
habits  and  brighter  shells.  The  lip  is  usually  expanded  more 
than  in  vittata,  which  replaces  fusca  on  the  southwest.  P. 
fusca  occasionally  has  a  small  parietal  tooth,  'but  in  vittata 
the  tooth  is  almost  invariable  in  fully  adult  shells.

The  shape  of  the  typical  vittata  is  oblong-conic,  more  or 
less  compressedly  umbilicated,  and  the  spire,  which  equals 
half  the  length  of  the  shell,  has  straight  outlines.  The  last 
whorl  is  not  angular  in  front  of  the  aperture.  The  ample, 
oblong  aperture  is  'considerably  contracted  by  the  intrusion 
of  white  callus  on  the  inner  margin  of  the  peristome,  and  the 
sides  are  nearly  parallel.  The  peristome  is  rather  thin, 
widely  expanded  and  usually  stained  with  brownish  purple. 
The  white  callus  does  not  extend  to  the  upper  end  of  the 
lip,  leaving  a  shallow  sinus.  The  columella  is  flattened,  not 
calloused  or  nodose,  and  reflected  over  the  umbilicus.  The 
color  is  whitish,  yellowish  corneous,  fulvous  or  horn-color,  fre- 
quently with  the  basal  third  of  the  'body  and  a  sutural  band 
chestnut-color.  Sometimes  the  apex  is  'black  or  purple-black. 
The  parietal  tooth,  though  small,  is  constant,  'but  so  far 
within  that  it  is  hardly  visible  in  a  front  view.

ovalis,  which  two  valleys  are  between  Toloa  and  the  small 
ones  inhabited  by  approximata."

This  is  a  race  subsidiary  to  vittata  characterized  by  its 
inferior  size,  smaller  umbilicus,  which  is  frequently  imper- 
vious, smaller  aperture,  and  less  expanded  lip.  The  parietal 
tooth  is  very  seldom  developed.  The  banding  is  similar  in 
the  two  forms,  but  occurs  rarely  in  approximata,  which  dif- 
fers also  in  being  generally  a  lighter  or  darker  chestnut-color, 
though  both  have  similar  horn-colored  varieties,  with  brown 
streaks.  The  last  whorl  is  usually  angular  in  front,  as  in 
var.  terrestris. 

Occurs  in  greater  or  less  profusion  in  several  small  valleys 
on  the  southwest  part  of  Raiatea. 

Cotypes  from  Garrett  are  figured.

The  shell  is  moderately  umbilicate,  thin,  with  only  a  trace 
of  spiral  striae  on  the  last  whorl.  It  is  (1)  corneous  with 
yellowish  streaks,  (2)  chestnut  colored,  or  (3)  chestnut  with 
an  equatorial  yellow  zone.  The  apex  is  usually  pale,  but 
sometimes  purple.  The  last  ivhorl  is  rather  acutely  angular 
immediately  in  front  of  the  upper  termination  of  the  outer 
lip ;  or  if  not,  an  angle  may  'be  traced  above  the  suture,  near 
the  aperture;  the  immature  stage  being  strongly  angular. 
The  aperture  is  rather  narrow,  with  a  distinct  prominence  at 
the  upper  end  of  the  lip-callus.  Lip  moderately  expanded,

"In  the  valleys  on  the  southern  part  of  the  island 
(Raiatea),  we  find  a  gradual  change  from  the  typical  P.  ap- 
proximata  into  the  form  known  as  P.  terrestris  Pease,  which 
latter  connects  the  former  with  vittata.  The  range  of  ter- 
restris terminates  at  Opoa  valley,  on  the  southeast  coast. 

"At  Faaloa,  on  the  east  coast,  there  exists  a  form,  P.  cas- 
tanea Pease,  which  is  intermediate  between  terrestris  and 
vittata.  It  is  usually  chestnut-colored,  constantly  toothed  on 
the  parietal  wall,  and  the  fasciation  is  the  same  as  in  the  other 
varieties.  It  has  not  spread  any  to  the  northward  of  Faaloa, 
but  occurs  more  sparingly  in  a  small  valley  between  Faaloa 
and  Opoa."  (Garrett).  A  specimen  of  castanea  received 
from  Pease  is  figured  (pi.  17,  fig.  12).  It  is  absolutely  iden- 
tical with  terrestris.

(not  of  Pfeiffer). 

The  callous  rim  and  "tooth"  within  the  outer  lip  are  more 
strongly  developed  than  in  P.  faba,  fusca  and  their  immedi- 
ate allies.  There  is  an  oblong  callous  lump  on  the  face  of 
the  columella,  more  or  less  visible  in  different  examples.  The 
white  border  below  the  suture  is  an  important  feature  of  the 
species,  very  rarely  wanting.  P.  planilabrum  is  larger  and 
more  elongated  than  P.  bilineata,  and  the  surface  is  not  so 
smooth  and  shining.  The  structure  of  the  peristome  is  similar 
in  the  two  shells,  but  the  aperture  is  more  elongate  in 
planilabrum.  The  parietal  tooth  is  constant  in  adults  but 
varies  in  size.  The  following  color-forms  are  found. 

PI.  18,  figs.  2,  3.  The  type  is  deep  chestnut-brown,  gradu- 
ally fading  into  yellowish  corneous  towards  the  sutural  line; 
the  whitish  lip  is  •frequently  tinged  with  violet. 

PI.  18,  fig.  4.  Fulvous  yellow,  with  the  basal  half  of  the 
body- whorl  and  a  revolving  band  below  the  whitish  subsutural 
border,  deep  chestnut-brown.  Not  infrequent. 

PI.  18,  fig.  1.  Pale  corneous  or  light  fulvous  with  indis-

Numerous  specimens  from  Pease  and  G-arrett  show  it  to 
be  rather  constant  in  form,  but  some  shells  show  an  angle  on 
the  last  whorl,  in  front  of  the  aperture.  Garrett  writes: 
"The  metropolis  of  this  species  is  Haamene  valley,  on  the 
east  coast  of  Tahaa,  where  it  is  common,  and,  though  usually 
lurking  beneath  decaying  vegetation,  is  sometimes  found  ad- 
hering to  the  trunks  of  the  wild  banana.  It  is  found,  though 
less  abundant,  in  a  valley  north  of  its  specific  centre,  but  does 
not  occur  in  the  intermediate  valley  Faa-apa,  the  home  of 
bilineata."

brown  band  revolving  a  short  distance  below  the  suture,  and 
a  wider  one  just  below  the  perifery;  but  sometimes  the 
whole  base  is  dark  chestnut,  or  the  whole  shell  may  be  dark 
except  for  a  light  equatorial  girdle  or  zone.  The  aperture  is 
nearly  white  inside,  lip  broad,  white,  well  expanded  and 
strongly  thickened  within.  The  columellar  lip  bears  on  its 
inner  face  a  low  nodule,  sometimes  hardly  noticeable.  The

conic  form,  yellowish  horn-color,  and  two  revolving  chestnut- 
brown  bands,  the  upper  one  narrow  and  subsutural.  The

This  arboreal  species  is  obese,  solid,  not  very  glossy,  with 
a  moderate  or  quite  narrow  umbilicus.  The  lip  is  not  very 
broadly  expanded,  'but  is  strongly  thickened  within,  white, 
flat,  often  more  or  less  dentate,  and  is  conspicuously  excised 
above.  The  columella  is  oblique,  broad,  and  bears  a  moder-

P.  auriculata  has  been  united  by  many  authors  with  the 
totally  different  P.  otaheitana  of  Tahiti.  The  erroneous 
locality  "Huaheine"  was  given  by  Cuming,  who  collected 
the  types.  As  Pease  and  Garrett  have  already  remarked, 
P.  auriculata  was  evidently  based  upon  several  forms  of  this 
group,  but  the  emphasis  laid  by  Broderip  upon  the  flat  lip 
indicates  that  the  form  described  as  P.  compacta  by  Pease  is 
practically  typical  auriculata.  Reeve's  Conchologia  Iconica, 
Partula  plate  2,  figure  11&  may  be  considered  the  type  of 
P.  auriculata.  I  have  figured  similar  shells,  pi.  18,  figs.  10, 
11.  The  color  is  usually  light  brownish  yellow,  'but  it  varies 
to  light  chestnut  in  the  lots  before  me.  Fig.  9,  copied  from 
Reeve's  figure  of  one  of  the  original  lot,  is  unlike  the  com- 
pacta I  have  seen  in  being  banded.  Pease's  type  of  com- 
pacta, now  before  me,  is  a  typical  auriculata  in  develop- 
ment of  the  apertural  callosities.  In  many  individuals  the 
"teeth"  are  less  developed,  as  in  fig.  8.

more  compactly  ovate,  very  solid,  the  lip  very  little  ex- 
panded and  very  much  thickened  on  the  convex  face,  though 
less  broad  than  in  auriculata,  and  with  less  prominent  in- 
ternal callosities,  hence  the  aperture  is  more  open.  The 
parietal  tooth  is  smaller  than  in  auriculata,  and  often  almost 
disappears.  The  lip  is  generally  brown-edged,  and  often  a 
raised  callus  connects  the  ends.  The  columellar  lip  is  seen, 
in  profile  view,  to  be  very  thick,  and  the  umbilical  crevice 
is  narrow.  Color-patterns  as  follows:

4.  Species  of  Huaheine. 

Huaheine  possesses  four  species  all  endemic.  Two  (P. 
arguta  and  annectens)  are  restricted  to  two  valleys,  and  the 
latter,  like  P.  clara,  appears  to  be  gradually  becoming  extinct. 
Both  species  are  remarkably  uniform  in  all  their  specific 
characters,  and  are  related  to  forms  of  Tahiti  and  Raiatea. 
On  the  contrary,  the  other  two  species  (P.  rosea  and  varia) 
have  spread  nearly  all  over  the  island,  and  are  subject  to 
considerable  variation.  Neither  is  closely  related  to  other 
Society  Island  species,  but  a  form  scarcely  distinguishable 
from  varia  occurs  at  Rarotonga.  It  is  worthy  of  remark  that

dentated  species,  which  are  so  common  in  all  the  islands  ex- 
cept Borabora,  do  not  occur  on  Huaheine. 

The  structure  of  the  kidney  raises  a  doubt  as  to  the  sys- 
tematic position  of  P.  rosea  and  varia.  They  may  belong  in 
or  near  the  section  Samoana  rather  than  to  Partula  s.  sir.

very  abundant  on  foliage,  but  it  is  generally  distributed 
throughout  all  parts  of  the  island."  (Garrett) .

PARTULA,    HUAHEINE.  251 

This  common  Huaheine  species  is  smaller  and  more  glossy 
than  P.  rosea,  and  differs  in  its  range  of  color-variation.  Ac- 
cording to  Andrew  Garrett,  the  type  form  "is  very  variable 
in  coloration,  and  considerably  so  in  size  and  shape.  The 
smallest  form,  which  =  =  P.  pulchra  Pse.,  gradually  merges 
into  the  type,  and  is  restricted  to  the  larger  of  the  two  valleys 
called  Hamene.  The  type  which  equals  my  huaheinensis  and 
adusta,  is  usually  corneous,  luteous,  more  frequently  fulvous, 
rarely  white,  and  the  most  abundant  variety  is  dark  chestnut, 
sometimes  nearly  black  with  a  pale  apex  and  dark  or  pale  lip 
(fig.  1).  Deep  chestnut-colored  examples,  with  a  wide  or 
narrow  central  pale  band,  are  not  uncommon  (fig.  2).  The 
form  with  an  obscure  central  fulvous  band  on  a  pale  ground, 
is  rather  common  (figs.  6,  7). 

"In  the  higher  portion  of  Hamene  may  be  found  a  large 
form  (bicolor  Garr.,  not  of  Pease)  which  is  either  uniform 
straw-yellow,  or  greenish  yellow,  with  or  without  a  dark  chest- 
nut spire.  It  differs  from  the  typical  varia  in  being  larger, 
more  robust,  the  whorls  more  inflated  and  the  aperture  wider. 
Specimens  from  Garrett  are  figured,  pi.  23,  figs.  4  and  8. 

"In  a  valley  named  Faahiti,  on  the  northern  part  of  the 
island,  we  find  in  the  greatest  profusion,  associated  with 
P.  rosea  cognata  Pse.,  a  form  shaped  like  ' bicolor,'  but 
smaller  and  more  variable  in  color  than  the  typical  varia. 
The  most  -common  variety  is  light  yellowish,  sometimes  stri- 
gated,  the  lip,  and  sometimes  the  base,  stained  with  burnt- 
brown  or  violet-brown.  Nearly  half  of  the  specimens  are 
uniform  fulvous  brown,  or  chestnut-brown  approaching  black. 
The  variety  with  central  pale  band  is  also  very  frequent,  as 
well  as  the  one  of  a  uniform  whitish  or  luteous  with  white  lip. 
The  pale  variety  with  chestnut  spire  is  somewhat  rare,  besides 
one  with  a  dark  spire  and  two  narrow  bands  on  the  body- 
whorl.  A  lot  of  these  shells  sent  to  the  'Museum  Godeffroy,' 
were  by  Prof.  Mousson  referred  to  Morelet's  P.  simplaria, 
and  have  been  freely  distributed  under  that  name.  Morelet 
cites  'Tahiti'  as  the  habitat  of  his  species.  His  'apice  obtuso 
rosaceo'  and  'sutura  albo  marginata'  do  not  occur  in  these 


252  PARTULA,    HUAHEINE. 

shells,  nor  any  of  the  varieties  of  varia"  hence  the  name 
simplaria  should  not  be  applied  to  them.  Specimens  of 
various  color-patterns  are  figured,  pi.  23,  figs.  9,  10. 

The  form  called  P.  glutinosa  Pfr.  is  straw  colored  or  pale 
fulvous,  the  lip  white  with  a  purplish-brown  border.  It  was 
originally  described  as  from  the  Solomon  Islands.  Fig.  11 
is  a  copy  of  the  original  figure.  A  specimen  received  from 
Cuming  is  drawn  in  fig.  15.  "P.  perplexa  Pse.  MS."  of  H. 
H.  Smith  is  the  same. 

P.  mucida  Pfr.  was  based  on  the  uniform  chestnut  colored 
form  of  varia.  A  figure  of  the  type  specimen  in  the  British 
Museum  is  given,  pi.  41,  fig.  13. 

43.  P.  ROSEA  Broderip.     Plate  22. 

The  shell  is  openly  perforate,  rather  thin,  ovate-pyramidal, 
moderately  glossy ;  under  a  lens  it  is  seen  to  be  marked  with 
fine  growth-lines  and  close,  waved,  distinctly  engraved  spiral 
lines.  Whorls  5,  very  slightly  convex,  the  last  generally 
angular  at  the  periphery,  in  front  of  the  aperture.  The  aper- 
ture is  ovate,  slightly  oblique ;  outer  lip  well  expanded,  thin- 
edged,  strengthened  with  'a  narrow  callous  rim  within,  gradu- 
ally tapering  to  the  upper  end.  Columella  thin,  dilated  above. 
Parietal  film  transparent,  toothless. 

Length  22,  diam.  13  mm. 

Length  23,  diam.  13  to  15  mm. 

The  typical  color  (pi.  22,  figs.  1,  2)  is  uniform  rose,  in- 
cluding the  interior  and  lip ;  but  in  many  examples  the  em- 
bryonic whorls  are  paler  or  yellowish  with  a  pink  sutural  line. 

Huaheine :  ' '  The  headquarters  of  this  beautiful  and  well- 
known  arboreal  species  is  in  a  large  forest  at  the  head  of 
Hawai  bay  on  the  west  side  of  Huaheine.  From  this  region, 
where  they  are  very  numerous,  they  have  spread  over  many 
parts  of  the  island.  They  differ  but  little  in  .shape  in  the 
different  localities,  except  in  Faahiti  on  the  north  coast,  where 
they  (the  P.  cognata  Pease)  are  smaller,  less  angulated  on 
the  last  whorl,  and  in  the  total  absence  of  the  uniform  dark 
purple-brown  and  rose-colored  varieties  which  are  so  com- 


PARTULA,    HUAHEINE.  253 

mon  elsewhere.  The  most  numerous  variety  of  the  cognata 
form  is  straw-yellow  with  the  sutural  line  tinted  with  rose  or 
purple  rose.  A  rose  or  purple-brown  variety  with  a  central 
yellow  band  is  found  in  no  other  part  of  the  island."

Besides  the  common  typical  rose-colored  form  (figs.  1,  2), 
the  following  color-patterns  occur.  From  Garrett's  remarks 
it  appears  that  several  of  the  patterns  occur  together,  so  that 
they  seem  ordinarily  to  have  no  racial  status.  The  some- 
what smaller  form  cognata  seems  to  have  incipient  racial 
features. 

2,  form  purpurascens  Pfr.     Dull  purple,  the  aperture  and 
lip  violet,  common  (fig.  3). 

3,  form  bipartita.     Upper  surface  rose   (fig.  4)   or  purple 
(fig.  5)  base  pale  yellow,  the  lip  white.     "Frequent  in  the

4,  form  bicolorata.     Spire  rose  or  purple,  fading  at  the 
end  of  penultimate  whorl  to  straw  yellow  or  corneous  on  the 
last  whorl;  apex  whitish;  mouth  and  lip  white  (figs.  6,  7). 
Common. 

5,  form    straminea.     Straw-yellow   or    yellowish-corneous, 
the  apex  or  whole  spire  corneous- white ;   aperture  and   lip 


254  PARTULA,    HUAHEINE. 

white   (figs.  8,  9).     According  to  Garrett  this  form  is  very 
abundant. 

6,  form  zotiata.     Yellow,  with  the  base  and  a  narrow  or 
rather  wide  sutural  band  brown,  purple-brown  or  rose-color, 
mouth   bicolored.      Common    (fig.   10,    11).      Varies  in   size 
from  24  x  13.5  to  21.5  x  12.5  mm. 

7,  form   cognata   'Pse. '   Garrett.       Often   smaller,   length 
i9.5  to  23  mm.,  yellow  with  the  suture  tinted  with  rose  or 
purplish;  aperture  white  (pi.  22,  figs.  12,  17;  pi.  33,  fig.  3), 
"Very  common  in  Faahiti  valley,  but  rare  elsewhere"  (Gar- 
rett).    This  small   form  varies  to  light  yellow  with  pallid 
spire,  and  to  yellow  with  purple  or  roseate  spire,  like  form 
bicolorata ;  or  it  may  have  the  color  of  form  no.  6. 

8,  form   estalliana   'Garrett'    Smith.       Shell   small,    thin, 
whitish-corneous  or  yellowish,  with  the  base  and  a  'band  be- 
low the  suture  rose  or  dull  purple,  leaving  the  lighter  tint  in 
a  broad  zone  or  band.     Occurs  in  Faahiti  valley  only  (figs. 
13,  14). 

This  form  varies  to  yellow  or  corneous-yellow  shells,  with 
the  spire  corneous  or  more  or  less  purple-tinted,  lip  whitish 
or  with  a  purplish  tint  (figs.  15,  16). 

Broderip's  original  description  of  P.  rosea  follows: 
"Shell  ovate-pyramidal,  roseate;  whorls  6,  longitudinally 
substriate,  subdecussate  with  very  close  lines,  the  last  larg- 
est; epidermis  thin.  Length  %,  diam.  y$  inch. 

"Var.  a,  purple-brown.  Var.  &,  whitish,  sutures  and  base 
of  the  last  whorl  roseate,  epidermis  yellow."  (Brod.). 

44.  P.  ANNECTENS  (Pease).     PL  24,  figs.  5,  6. 

The  shell  is  perforate,  oblong-ovate,  very  thin,  pellucid, 
slightly  yellowish  corneous,  sometimes  with  a  pale  ruddy  tint 
at  the  apex,  the  suture  bordered  with  an  opaque  white  line. 
Surface  lustrous,  showing  fine  growth-lines,  and  very  close, 
minutely  crimped,  spiral  striae  throughout.  Whorls  4^,  con- 
vex, the  last  one  compressed  or  somewhat  flattened  below 
the  periphery,  therefore  unusually  convex  close  to  the  perfora- 
tion. The  aperture  is  quite  oblique,  ovate ;  peristome  thin,  re-

flexed  throughout,  white,  the  columellar  margin  dilated  and 
bifurcate  above.  Parietal  wall  covered  with  a  scarcely 
noticeable  film. 

Length  13,  diam.  7.25  mm. ;  aperture  7.8  mm. 

Length  14,  diam.  7  mm. ;  aperture  7.8  mm. 

Huaheine:  "This  delicate  arboreal  species  is  excessively 
rare,  and  has  only  occurred  to  my  notice  in  two  valleys  on 
the  west  coast  of  Huaheine."  (Garrett).

"It  is  more  fragile  and  less  slender  than  P.  attenuata,  the 
nearest  allied  form.  The  spire  is  less  than  half  the  length 
of  the  shell,  and  the  suture  is  margined  by  a  white  line.  The 
dull  whitish  peristome  is  widely  expanded.  The  aperture  is 
never  dentate,  and  the  yellow-corneous  shell  is  faintly  tinged 
with  greenish. 

"The  animal  varies  from  pale  luteous-yellow  to  light 
brownish  yellow.  The  soft  parts,  as  seen  through  the  trans- 
parent shell,  are  mottled  with  slate-colored  spots.  The  foot 
is  about  the  same  length  as  the  shell,  and  the  ocular  peduncles 
are  very  long  and  slender."  (Garrett).

This  species  resembles  the  preceding  [P.  lineata],  but  it 
is  distinguished  'by  having  the  peristome  less  thick,  by  the 
umbilicus,  of  which  the  crevice  is  obliterated.  Its  altitude 
is  8  lines  by  5  in  diameter.  Its  spire  is  more  swollen  than 
in  the  preceding.  The  shell  is  thinner,  and  entirely  corneous 
yellow.  The  Yellow  Partula  lives  on  the  island  of  Borabora

This  is  a  rather  solid,  obesely  ovate-conic  shell,  with 
straightly  conic,  acute  spire  and  rather  glossy  surface.  The 
spiral  striation  is  generally  weak  in  the  median  part  of  the 
last  whorl,  more  distinct  above  and  below.  The  first  two 
whorls  are  flattened  and  slope  steeply,  giving  the  apex  a  more 
acutely  conic  shape  than  usual.  Whorls  5,  the  post-embryonic 
ones  rather  convex,  last  whorl  inflated.  The  aperture  is 
somewhat  oblique;  outer  lip  reflexed  and  thickened  within, 
white.  Columellar  margin  only  very  little  dilated  at  its  in- 
sertion, near  which  it  is  thickened  by  a  callous  deposit  on 
the  inner  margin  of  its  face.  The  parietal  wall  is  covered 
with  a  transparent  callus,  which  near  the  lip-ends  is  thick- 
ened and  white.  There  is  no  parietal  tooth.  The  umbilicus 
is  reduced  to  a  very  narrow,  short  chink.  The  color  is 
variable : 

1.  Uniform  pale  yellow. 

2.  Pale  yellow  with  brownish  apex. 

3.  Isabelline,  the  first  2y2  whorls  purple-brown  or  blackish 
violet. 

4.  Purple-brown,  covered  on  the  last  whorl  with  a  yellow 
cuticle,    which   is   thin    and   transparent   on   the   spire,    the 
suture  white  (lilacina  Pfr.).

over  the  island,  it  has  not  developed  a  single  local  variety. 
In  fact  it  exhibits  less  variation  than  some  of  the  species  at 
the  other  islands  which  are  restricted  to  single  valleys." 

Dr.  Hartman  and  Andrew  Garrett  are  agreed  that  Partula 
lilacina  Pfr.  is  a  color-phase  of  P.  lutea.  A  figure  of  the 
type  specimen  in  the  British  Museum  is  given,  pi.  41,  fig.  14. 

6.  Species  of  unknown  habitats,  probably  from  the  Society  Is. 

The  following  will  probably  prove  to  be  forms  of  some  of 
the  species  already  known  from  the  Society  Islands;  but 
their  status  can  only  be  determined  by  examination  of  the 
type  specimens.

Garrett,  in  his  work  of  1884,  identified  specimens  of  P. 
compressa  as  stolida ;  but  they  cannot  be  made  to  agree  with 
Pease's  description.  Pease  himself,  in  1871,  gives  the  locality 
Raiatea;  yet  his  testimony  is  of  doubtful  value.  Perhaps

P.  stolida  will  prove,  if  the  type  specimen  can  foe  found,  to 
be  a  form  of  the  otaheitana  series  from  Tahiti.

This  Partula  is  distinguished  from  P.  varia  by  its  swollen 
shape,  obtuse  summit,  wider,  less  oblique  and  more  rounded 
aperture,  and  finally  the  less  thickened,  less  dilated  peris-

This  form  has  not  'been  rediscovered,  and  its  locality  is 
uncertain.  It  stands  near  P.  assimilis ;  and  by  some  authors 
has  been  considered  a  form  of  P.  rosea  or  P.  varia.

The  figure  does  not  agree  well  with  Pease's  measurements. 

"We  have  no  locality  for  the  above  species.  It  appears  to 
approach  the  Marquesau  type,  and  may  be  allied  to  lilacina

oft',  would  probably  leave  the  shell  without  color,  as  is  the 
case  with  ganymedes,  Pfr.  We  have  but  a  single  specimen. ' '

III.  PARTUL^E  OF  THE  AUSTRAL  AND  HERVEY  GROUPS. 

The  few  species  of  these  groups  are  very  closely  related  to 
those  of  the  Society  Islands,  and  no  doubt  are  of  common 
derivation. 

In  the  Austral  Group,  Partula  hyalina  (see  p.  180)  is 
found  on  Tubuai  and  Rurutu  (Oheteroa).  No  other  Partula 
is  known  from  the  group.  One  island,  Rurutu,  has  been 
somewhat  carefully  explored  for  land  shells  (see  Garrett, 
Proc.  A.  N.  S.  Phila.  1879,  pp.  17-30). 

In  the  Hervey  or  Cook's  Group,  P.  hyalina  has  been  found 
on  Mangaia  and  Rarotonga.  P.  assimilis  Pse.,  a  form  very 
close  to  P.  varia  of  Huaheine,  occurs  on  Rarotonga.  Pease 


PARTULA,  HERVEY  IS.  261 

has  stated  that  the  Baiatean  P.  liebe  is  found  on  Mangaia 
(Journ.  de  Conchyl.  1870,  p.  401)  but  his  records  occasion- 
ally prove  erroneous,  and  this  one  seems  doubtful. 

52.  P.  ASSIMILIS  Pease.     PI.  41,  figs.  5,  9. 

The  shell  is  narrowly  umbilicate,  ovate-conic,  rather  thin; 
corneous  or  faintly  yellowish-corneous,  nearly  uniform,  but 
under  a  lens  it  appears  to  be  very  indistinctly  marked  with 
pale  brown  streaks;  the  early  whorls  are  sometimes  pale 
brown.  2%  embryonic  whorls  with  the  usual  subpunctate 
spiral  lines,  succeeding  whorls  finely  weakly  striate  spirally, 
convex.  The  last  whorl  is  quite  convex,  very  indistinctly 
marked  with  more  or  less  effaced  spiral  lines,  or  they  may 
be  almost  wholly  absent.  Aperture  slightly  oblique,  white 
or  flesh-tinted  within.  Peristome  white  or  flesh-colored,  re- 
flexed  and  somewhat  thickened  within.  Columellar  lip  di- 
lated above.

(name  only). 

This  species  closely  resembles  the  pale,  yellowish  form  of 
P.  varia  of  Huaheine,  'but  differs  by  the  thinner,  less  conic 
shell,  with  the  spire  more  swollen,  apex  more  obtuse  and 
the  lip  is  less  thickened  within. 

Pease  has  described  a  "var.  virgulata,  shell  generally 
shorter  than  the  typical  form,  longitudinally  streaked  with 
light  red;  alt.  15,  diam  9  mm.  Barotonga." 

Two  specimens  out  of  the  Pease  duplicates,  from  a  series 
received  from  Dr.  Hartman,  have  the  summit  purplish,  like 
the  form  of  P.  varia  figured  on  pi.  23,  fig.  4,  yet  I  do  not 
feel  certain  that  they  are  really  from  Barotonga. 


262  PARTULA,    SAMOAN    ISLANDS. 

IV.  PARTITIVE  OF  THE  SAMOAN  ISLANDS. 

The  Samoan  Partulas  are  still  very  imperfectly  known, 
species  having  been  collected  only  on  Upolu  and  Tutuila. 
Nothing  is  known  of  the  species  of  the  largest  island,  Savii, 
if  any  exist  there,  or  of  several  smaller  islands  of  the  group. 

The  known  forms  belong  to  four  groups,  quite  diverse  in 
texture  and  coloration,  but  two  of  them  are  alike  in  having 
the  umbilicus  unusually  open.

Cat.  Gen.  Partula,  1881,  p.  12,  13,  fig. ;  not  of  Lesson. 

This  species  differs  from  P.  conica  by  its  longer,  more  slen- 
der spire,  absence  of  spiral  striae  except  on  the  embryonic 
whorls  and  base,  the  darker  tint,  etc.  It  is  said  to  be  in- 
variably sinistral,  and  restricted  to  the  island  Upolu. 

The  color  is  greenish-yellow  with  more  or  less  chestnut  suf- 
fusion, sometimes  darker  in  narrow  streaks.  The  spire  is 
darker,  reddish  brown;  suture  margined  with  a  white  line, 
narrower  than  in  P.  conica.  The  peristome  is  flesh-tinted, 
not  so  broad  as  that  of  P.  conica,  and  the  columella  is  gut- 
tered at  its  junction  with  the  body.  The  umbilicus  is  ample, 
as  in  P.  conica.  Figs.  6  and  7  were  drawn  from  one  of  the 
original  lot  collected  by  Schmeltz.  Specimens  measure  as 
follows. 

Length  28,  diam.  17,  aperture  16  mm. ;  S1/-?  whorls.

A  single  specimen  before  me  (pi.  32,  fig.  8)  has  a  much 
shorter  spire  than  canal-is,  not  attenuated  as  that  is.  The 
color  is  dark  chestnut,  the  spire  dull  dark  purple.  It  is 
spirally  striate  below  the  periphery.  Length  23,  diam.  15, 
aperture  13.3  mm. ;  whorls  slightly  over  5.  Upolu.  This  may 
represent  -a  distinct  subspecies.

Some  specimens  collected  by  the  United  States  Exploring 
Expedition  differ  from  canalis  by  having  the  last  whorl  more 
swollen  above  the  periphery,  tapering  to  the  base,  and  there- 
fore distinctly  conic;  the  umbilicus  is  much  narrower,  and 
the  plane  of  the  peristome  is  more  oblique.

The  shell  is  sinistral,  openly  umbilieate,  conic,  with  rather 
slender  spire ;  white  under  the  thin  yellow  cuticle,  the  earlier 
whorls  and  a  subsutural  margin  being  white.  The  surface 
is  glossy.  Whorls  5%,  the  first  half-whorl  smooth,  follow- 
ing 2~y2  whorls  spirally  engraved  (fig.  8)  ;  on  the  following 
whorls  the  spire  striae  are  almost  wanting,  but  they  reappear 
on  the  last  whorl,  which  is  very  closely  sculptured  through- 
out with  fine  wavy  spirals,  stronger  towards  the  base.  The 
whorls  are  moderately  convex,  the  last  whorl  rather  swollen 
peripherally  and  very  convex  at  the  base.  The  aperture  is 
ovate,  rather  oblique;  peristome  white,  flatly,  rather  widely 
reflexed,  dilated  at  the  columellar  insertion  and  somewhat 
excavated  or  grooved  at  its  junction  with  the  base.  Parietal

In  his  descriptions  of  this  species,  Gould  considered  the 
large,  more  or  less  chestnut  colored  and  smoother  form  later 
described  as  P.  canalis  to  be  a  form  of  conica,  and  he  also, 
by  implication,  included  the  dextral  form,  his  words  "in- 
terdum  sinistrorsa"  indicating  that  he  had  seen  dextral  ex- 
amples. It  is  obvious  that  Gould  considered  the  sinistral 
form  to  be  typical  from  his  selection  of  sinistral  examples 
for  figuring,  and  from  his  comparison  "resembling  Bulimus 
Lcrvus  in  form";  yet  his  description  is  composite,  the  num- 
ber of  whorls  referring  especially  to  the  larger  brown  form 
(canalis)  and  the  description  of  sculpture  to  the  striate  form 
here  considered  to  be  the  true  conica.  Garrett's  restriction 
of  P.  conica  to  the  dextral  form  was  not  allowable  under  the 
existing  conditions.

One  of  Gould's  figures  is  copied,  fig.  1.  Other  figures; 
drawn  from  the  same  type  specimen  are  given  (figs.  2,  3,  no. 
2687  A.  N.  S.  P.).  The  whitish  spiral  lines  on  this  shell  are 
apparently  pathologic. 

This  species  is  distinguished  from  P.  canalis  by  the  white 
spire  of  fewer  whorls  (5*4  to  51/^) ,  the  more  developed  stria- 
tion  of  the  last  whorl  and  the  comparatively  larger  aperture. 
In  some  examples,  such  as  that  shown  in  fig.  5,  the  spiral 
striation  of  the  last  whorl  is  hardly  visible  above  the  middle. 

Gould's  second  locality  for  this  species,  "Raraka, "  is  a 
low  island  (atoll)  of  the  Paumotu  group,  where  it  is  prac- 
tically certain  that  no  Partula  lives.

described  form,  about  which  very  little  is  known.  Garrett 
placed  upolensis  in  the  synonymy  of  P.  conica,  but  he  seems 
to  have  had  P.  stevensoniana.  A  specimen  purchased  from 
the  Godeffroys  as  P.  upolensis  (no.  59845  A.  N.  S.  P.)  as  from 
Samoa,  is  nothing  else  than  P.  rosea  cognata!  This  shell  is

The  shell  is  openly  umbilicate,  ovate-conic,  rather  thin, 
whitish  under  a  greenish-yellow  cuticle,  pale  corneous  or 
brown  on  the  spire,  suture  edged  with  a  white  line.  The 
embryonic  whorls,  except  the  first  half-whorl,  are  deeply  and 
very  closely  sculptured  with  engraved  punctate  spirals  (pi. 
31,  fig.  12)  ;  following  whorls  and  upper  half  of  last  whorl 
have  rather  widely  spaced  spiral  lines,  and  the  basal  half  of 
the  last  whorl  is  densely  marked  with  wavy  spirals.  Spire 
short,  conic,  regular.  Whorls  5*4,  convex,  the  last  equally 
convex  except  near  the  aperture  where  it  is  a  little  produced 
outwardly  towards  the  base.  Aperture  ample,  flesh  colored 
within,  but  slightly  oblique.  Peristome  reflexed,  ivory  white,,

This  form  seems  to  be  known  by  the  original  lot  only.  It 
stands  close  to  P.  canalis  and  P.  conica,  having  spiral  sculp- 
ture like  the  latter,  and  coloration  more  like  canalis.  The 
cuticle  is  readily  deciduous  on  the  summit  and  in  a  band 
along  the  suture.  The  compact,  subglobose  shape  distin- 
guishes it  from  allied  species.  It  is  shorter  and  wider  than 
P.  stevensoniana,  and  the  aperture  is  larger.

This  species  is  related  to  P.  expansa,  'but  differs  'by  its 
narrower,  less  deeply  penetrating  umbilicus,  longer  spire,  and 
especially  by  the  spiral  striation  of  the  last  whorl,  which 
was  described  by  Gould  (see  fig.  11,  drawn  from  below  the 
suture  just  back  of  the  outer  lip). 

The  opaque  buff  markings  appear  mostly  as  oblique  streaks 
along  the  lines  of  growth,  but  they  often  tend  to  become  trans- 
formed into  spirally  descending  stripes,  especially  on  the 
last  half  whorl,  approaching  the  condition  of  the  further 
evolved  P.  expansa.  Often  the  cream  tint  predominates  over 
the  corneous  or  brown  markings,  which  remain  as  streaks 
or  spots.

Partula  tryoni  Hartman  (pi.  31,  fig.  5)  is  a  zebrina  in 
wliich  the  cream-white  markings  are  reduced  to  mere  flecks. 
While  this  color-pattern  may  possibly  be  characteristic  of  a 
local  race,  it  is  surely  nothing  but  a  form  of  P.  zebrina.  I 
have  figured  the  type  specimen  (no.  4261  Carnegie  Mus.). 
It  was  erroneously  supposed  to  be  from  the  Solomon  Islands.

This  form  differs  from  P.  zebrina  by  its  larger  last  whorl 
and  shorter  spire.  Whether  it  is  a  true  race  or  merely  a 
phase  of  individual  variation  I  have  not  the  means  of  deciding.

white  spots  appear  in  the  gray  surface,  the  first  ones  being 
arranged  along  growth-lines;  they  rapidly  change  to  spirally 
lengthened  spots  and  belts  which  may  be  either  continuous  or 
interrupted  on  the  last  whorl.  The  last  whorl  is  lightly

to  the  group  of  P.  caledonica,  and  belongs  to  the  section 
Melanesica — forms  inhabiting  the  New  Hebrides  and  neigh- 
boring groups.  It  has  the  same  pyramidal  shape,  indistinct

ground  for  doubting  the  evidence  of  an  experienced  collector 
that  P.  brazieri  inhabits  the  Samoan  Islands ;  yet  up  to  this 
time  no  other  naturalist  has  encountered  it  there.

The  shell  is  dextral  oblong-acuminate,  openly  and  deeply 
rimate,  rather  thin,  glossy,  whitish,  having  a  very  thin  cuticle 
which  on  the  last  whorl  is  indistinctly  streaked  with  very  pale 
greenish-yellow,  this  color  strongest  in  an  indistinct  belt 
below  the  periphery,  and  on  the  base.  After  the  first  half 
whorl  the  embryonic  shell  (fig.  2)  is  sculptured  with  close, 
punctate  spiral  striae;  post-embryonic  whorls  sculptured  with 
engraved  spiral  lines,  which  are  rather  widely  spaced,  and 
on  the  last  half  of  the  last  whorl  are  obsolete  above  periphery. 
Spire  conic,  rather  slender  above.  Embryonic  shell  of  2^ 
flat  ivhorls;  following  whorls  convex,  the  last  whorl  convex 
above,  very  full  basally.  Aperture  slightly  oblique,  white 
within.  Peristome  narrowly  reflexed,  thickened  within, 
white,  tapering  towards  the  upper  termination,  where  it  is 
continued  in  a  small  triangular  callus  filling  the  angle  of 
the  aperture.  Columellar  lip  dilated  inwards,  a  trifle  grooved 
along  its  junction  with  the  body;  its  outer  edge  continued  a 
short  distance  upward  on  the  parietal  wall.  Parietal  callus

it  the  section  Thakombaua  is  here  instituted.  It  is  somewhat 
remarkable  that  in  Fiji  no  Partulas  are  known  from  the 
islands  inhabited  by  Placostylus.  The  same  is  true  of  the 
New  Caledonian  group;  but  in  the  New  Hebrides  and 
Solomon  Islands  both  genera  exist,

The  shell  is  long  ovate-conic,  rather  thin,  rimate;  white, 
pale  yellowish,  pale  brown  or  rather  dark  liver  brown  with 
narrow  paler  streaks.  Surface  lusterless.  The  embryonic 
shell  consists  of  nearly  3  whorls,  the  initial  half  whorl  smooth, 
following  half  whorl  very  subtly  punctate-striate  spirally, 
spirals  on  the  next  whorl  fewer,  rather  separated,  and  mainly 
on  the  upper  part;  third  whorl  with  very  weak  spirals,  which 
at  the  beginning  of  the  post-embryonic  shell  become  distinct 
but  low  cords.  These  increase  in  prominence  to  the  last 
whorl,  where  there  are  8-12  strong  spiral  cords  above  the 
periphery,  with  small,  unequal  cords  in  most  of  the  intervals, 
and  on  the  base  are  many  smaller  unequal  cords  and  threads. 
These  spiral  cords  extend  to  the  lip-edge,  which  is  creiiulated 
in  all  but  old  specimens.  The  last  whorl  is  somewhat  com- 
pressed laterally  and  convex  at  the  base.  Aperture  ovate, 
oblique,  colored  within  like  the  outside.  Peristome  narrowly 
expanded,  thickened  within ;  columella  dilated  above.  Parietal 
wall  covered  with  a  distinct  but  transparent  callus,  which 
bears  a  white  callous  tubercle  far  within  near  the  root  of  the

276  PARTULA,    NEW    HEBRIDES. 

The  single  Fijian  Partula  has  been  found  only  on  the  small 
islands  of  the  "eastern  group,"  the  genus  being  unknown  on 
the  large  islands,  where  Placostylus  'abounds.  The  rarity  of* 
Partula  in  this  archipelago  is  at  present  inexplicable.  The 
single  species  is  one  of  the  most  distinct  of  the  genus. 

Mr.  Layard  stated  in  a  letter  to  Dr.  Hartman  that  he  did 
not  find  the  species  on  Taviuni  or  Lomma-lomma,  in  six 
weeks  collecting  on  the  former  and  a  day  or  two  at  the  latter 
place.

about  10  degrees  of  latitude.  The  southern  islands,  Ero- 
manga,  Aneiteum,  are  not  remote  from  the  Loyalty  Islands 
which  lie  on  a  parallel  fold,  and  have  no  Partulse.  The 
northern  or  Santa  Cruz  end  of  the  group  approaches  the 
Solomon  Islands.  The  fauna  is  only  imperfectly  known,  but 
seems  to  be  somewhat  related  to  that  of  the  Solomon  Islands, 
though  much  poorer  and  more  primitive  by  lacking  Papuina, 
Chloritis,  etc.  Many  of  the  islands  are  high  and  wooded.

This  typical  form  of  P.  turneri  has  very  pale  narrow  yellow-

There  is  a  very  inconspicuous  band  below  the  periphery.  The

The  shell  is  ovate-conic,  rather  thin,  white  under  a  thin, 
pale,  yellowish  green  cuticle,  which  is  darkest  at  the  base,  fad- 
ing upward  to  corneous-whitish  on  the  upper  whorls,  the  last 
whorl  having  narrow  streaks  of  a  darker  shade  at  irregular 
intervals.  Surface  glossy.  Embryonic  shell  of  fully  2y2 
whorls  is  very  minutely  punctate-striate  spirally;  following 
whorls  are  more  convex,  with  rather  distinct  oblique  growth- 
strias  but  only  very  faint  and  fine  traces  of  spiral  lines,  ex- 
cept on  the  last  whorl,  which  is  distinctly  striate  spirally  on 
the  base  and  somewhat  malleate  behind  the  outer  lip.  The 
last  whorl  is  full,  rather  swollen  above  the  periphery,  then 
tapers  to  the  narrow,  very  convex  base.  The  umbilical  chink 
is  deep  and  ample.  Whorls  nearly  o1/^,  separated  by  a  well- 
impressed  suture,  which  in  the  last  two  whorls  is  bordered 
above  by  a  low  cord  defined  by  a  groove.  This  margin  is  cov- 
ered by  the  ascent  of  the  last  whorl  near  the  aperture,  but 
may  be  traced  faintly  on  the  last  whorl,  though  it  is  there 
very  indistinct.  The  aperture  is  vertical,  white  within. 
Outer  lip  narrowly  reflexed,  white,  thickened  within.  Colu-

This  species  was  thought  by  Dr.  Hartman  to  be  P.  alabas- 
trina, but  Pfeiffer's  description  of  that  shell  does  not  apply 
well  to  these  specimens  in  several  respects.  Fig.  3  represents

The  shell  is  very  deeply  rimate-perforate,  pyramidal.  The 
unique  type  is  a  "dead"  shell,  denuded  of  cuticle,  grayish 
white,  but  the  color  is  preserved  on  the  parietal  wall,  indicat- 
ing a  very  pale  buff  ground  marked  with  narrow  brownish- 
yellow  streaks;  the  coloration  perhaps  intermediate  between 
that  of  typical  P.  turneri  and  P.  caledonica.  The  apical 
whorls  resemble  those  of  P.  brazieri,  though  the  second  may  be 
slightly  more  convex.  Subsequent  whorls  are  quite  convex, 
and  traces  of  fine,  rather  spaced  spiral  striation,  just  as  in 
P.  caledonica,  may  be  seen  on  the  penultimate  and  next  earlier 
whorls,  the  last  whorl  being  'without  spirals  except  around 
the  umbilicus.  Oblique  growth-wrinkles  are  rather  distinct. 
The  last  whorl  is  compressed  laterally  and  very  convex  at 
the  base.  Aperture  only  half  the  total  length,  slightly 
oblique;  peristome  white,  expanded,  well  thickened  within; 
having  the  usual  deeply  placed  fold  at  the  root  of  the  colu-

This  species  stands  very  close  to  P.  caledonica,  from  which 
it  differs  by  the  slightly  more  lengthened  spire,  and  perhaps 
the  paler,  less  brown  color.  Hartman,  in  1896,  wrote  me 
that  he  considered  eximia  a  synonym  of  macgillvrayi,  having

in  the  Newcomb  collection  (see  Nautilus  XI,  1897,  p.  44).

Dr.  Hartman 's  description  and  a  copy  of  his  figure  (fig.  9) 
are  given.  The  specimens  before  me  from  Sitova  Island  (fig.

type.  The  apex  is  like  that  of  P.  brazieri;  later  whorls  are

engraved  with  distinct  spiral  lines  which  are  somewhat  separ- 
ated on  the  penultimate  whorl  and  front  of  the  last  one,  'but 
on  the  latter  half  of  the  last  whorl  the  spiral  striae  are  close, 
with  deeper  lines  at  short  intervals.  The  later  whorls  are 
strongly  convex,  but  the  last  becomes  compressed  laterally, 
towards  the  aperture,  and  is  sack-like  below.  The  umbilical 
chink  is  deep  and  wide.  The  color  is  a  slightly  bluish  milky 
white,  without  markings.  Length  21.8,  diam.  12.2,  length  of 
aperture  11.2  mm. ;  whorls  5%. 

"While  it  is  closely  related  to  P.  caledonica,  macgillivrayi, 
eximia  etc.,  this  species  is  distinct  by  the  absence  of  color 
streaks  and  the  persistence  of  spiral  striae  over  the  whole 
last  whorl. 

I  have  been  unable  to  find  an  Aura  Island  in  the  New 
Hebrides.  Probably  Arag  is  intended.  Sitova  is  also  un-

The  shell  is  deeply  rirnate,  rather  thin  but  solid,  ovate- 
conic.  The  last  two  whorls  are  whitish  (probably  denuded 
of  cuticle)  below  the  suture,  elsewhere  covered  with  a  thin 
greenish  yellow  cuticle  with  some  inconspicuous  darker  streaks. 
The  spire  lacks  cuticle  and  is  very  pale  brownish,  almost 
white.  Apex  obtuse;  embryonic  whorls  slightly  convex, 
punc'tate-striate,  not  so  high  as  in  P.  fraterna.  Subsequent 
whorls  more  convex,  sculptured  with  distinct,  regular  en- 
graved spirals,  which  are  somewhat  weaker  and  more  widely 
spaced  on  the  upper  part  of  the  last  whorl,  closer  and  deeper 
on  the  base.  Last  whorl  is  strongly  convex,  its  last  half 
however  being  perceptibly  compressed  laterally;  base  very 
convex.  The  aperture  is  but  slightly  oblique,  symmetrically 
ovate,  faintly  flesh-tinted  within.  Peristome  white,  moder- 
ately reflexed,  thickened  within.  Columellar  margin  dilated

This  is  said  to  be  a  common  species.  It  differs  from  P. 
fraterna  chiefly  by  the  better  developed  spiral  striation,  lower 
embryonic  whorls  and  shorter  spire ;  yet  it  is  not  improbable 
that  intermediaite  forms  occur. 

An  embryo  of  2i/>  whorls,  4.9  mm.  long,  is  figured,  pi.  34, 
fig.  8.  The  first  half  whorl  is  pale  brown  and  smooth,  fol- 
lowing whorls  are  densely  punctate-s'triate  above.  The  peri-

pliery  of  the  last  whorl  is  angular,  base  with  no  spiral  striae. 
The  columella  is  long,  vertical,  rather  heavily  calloused,  taper- 
ing and  somewhat  excised  'below,  not  unlike  the  columella 
in  some  forms  of  Obeliscus.  The  axis  is  perforated. 

Mr.  Sykes  states  that  the  specimens  from  Lo  Island  col-

The  shell  is  rather  widely  and  deeply  rimate,  solid,  ovate- 
conic.  Last  whorl  whitish  below  the  suture,  elsewhere  cov- 
ered with  a  faintly  green  tinted  yellow  cuticle  which  is  in- 
distinctly streaked  with  'brighter  yellow ;  the  spire  brown,  be- 
coming darker  towards  the  apex;  suture  well  impressed, 
marked  with  a  whitish  line.  Apex  obtuse,  the  top  more 
rounded  and  the  sides  less  straightened  than  in  P.  caledonica, 
brazicri  etc. ;  embryonic  whorls  punctate-striate,  convex ;  sub- 
sequent whorls  convex,  engraved  with  rather  delicate  spirals, 
almost  obsolete  on  the  upper  part  of  the  last  whorl,  but  dis- 
tinct though  delicate  on  the  base.  The  last  whorl  is  a  little 
flattened  laterally  behind  the  aperture,  convex  and  somewhat 
sack-like  basally.  Aperture  fleshy  within,  ovate,  hardly 
oblique.  Peristome  rather  narrowly  expanded  and  reflexed, 
thickened  within,  tapering  at  the  upper  end.  Columellar 
margin  broadly  reflexed,  dilated  and  biramose  above.  Parietal 
callus  thin,  transparent,  thickened  at  its  junctions  with  the 
lip  ends. 

Length  20.2,  diam.  11.8,  aperture  10.9  mm. ;  whorls  5%.

This  rather  stout,  opaque  species  has  some  resemblance  to 
P.  carnicolor,  but  differs  by  its  shorter  form,  wider  umbilical 
fissure  and  the  much  more  convex  base.  The  embryonic 
whorls  are  more  convex  than  in  the  group  of  P.  turneri,  and 
the  apex  is  more  obtuse.  It  is  closely  related  to  P.  auraniana

but  differs  by  the  longer  spire  of  decidedly  over  five  whorls, 
while  auraniana  has  barely  five  or  fewer.  The  spiral  striation 
is  not  nearly  so  well  developed  in  fraterna,  and  the  second 
whorl  is  higher. 

A  second  example  in  the  type  lot  is  19  mm.  long,  but  not 
quite  fully  mature.  Description  and  figure  are  from  the  type,

The  shell  is  oblong-conic,  moderately  solid,  rather  narrowly 
umbilicate ;  fleshy-brown  under  a  very  thin  yellowish-corneous 
cuticle  with  narrow  darker  greenish-yellow  streaks  (the 
cuticle  mostly  wanting  in  the  two  adult  cotypes,  which  were 
"dead"  shells).  Spire  straightly  conic.  Embryonic  shell 
rather  large,  conic,  densely  punctate-striate  spirally,  bicolored, 
the  lower  part  of  each  whorl  brown,  darker  than  the  upper. 
Subsequent  whorls  convex,  marked  with  growth^lines  but 
without  spirals  except  at  the  base,  which  is  very  closely 
marked  with  wavy  spiral  stria?.  Last  whorl  is  evenly  convex 
throughout,  tapering  basally.  Aperture  ovate,  oblique,  flesh- 
tinted  inside.  Peristome  narrowly  expanded  and  reflexed,

lines  and  extremely  delicate  engraved  spirals,  which  are  in- 
distinct and  rather  widely  spaced  except  on  the  'base  where 
they  are  closer  and  more  distinct.  The  last  whorl  is  some- 
what compressed  laterally  and  very  convex  -at  the  base  which 
is  rather  narrow  and  sack-like.  The  aperture  is  symmetri-

in  spiral  'bands,  not  much  remaining  on  the  last  whorl  and 
none  on  the  spire.  The  other  example  has  a  yellower,  more 
persistent  cuticle.

The  figures  are  from  a  specimen  in  the  Hartman  collection 
(no.  4244  Carnegie  Mus.).  It  measures  13  mm.  long,  8  wide, 
aperture  7.3  mm.  long,  and  has  4^  whorls.  It  is  bluish  white, 
the  spire  pale  brown.  The  columellar  nodule,  mentioned  by- 
Pease,  may  be  seen  in  fig.  9,  under  a  lens.  While  smaller  than 
Pease 's  type,  I  think  the  specimen  is  probably  identified  cor- 
rectly. 

I  suspect  that  P.  concinna  was  based  on  a  stray  example  of 
P.  taniata  nucleola.  The  description  certainly  favors  that 
theory,  and  the  Hartman  example  figured  seems  hardly  separ- 
able from  that  Moorean  shell.

The  shell  is  long  ovate,  moderately  strong,  white  under  a 
thin  cuticle  which  is  gray  on  the  spire  and  base,  yellowish- 
brown  in  the  middle  part  of  the  last  whorl,  where  there  are 
very  faint  traces  of  spiral  lighter  and  danker  bands.  The  spire 
is  rather  long,  whorls  convex;  suture  well  impressed.  Just 
above  the  suture  may  be  seen  an  inconspicuous  ridge  or  angle 
—the  periphery  of  the  penultimate  whorl.  The  embryonic 
sculpture  is  worn;  subsequent  whorls  have  very  even  and 
regular  spiral  striation,  which  may  be  slightly  weaker  on  the 
upper  part  of  the  last  whorl.  Last  whorl  is  convex  at  first, 
on  the  last  half  becoming  flattened  laterally;  very  convex, 
sack-like,  at  the  base.  The  umbilical  fissure  is  short  but  deep. 
Aperture  slightly  oblique,  ovate,  small,  white  inside.  Peris-

eum no.  4238)  are  fignred.  I  fail  to  get  Hartman 's  meaning 
in  calling  the  shell  "flexuose. "  It  is  very  closely  related  to 
the  following  species.  Fig.  13  shows  a  portion  of  the  last 
whorl  a  short  distance  behind  the  aperture. 

82.  P.  HASTULA  Hartman.     PI.  35,  figs.  6,  7,  8. 

Shell  similar  to  P.  flexuosa,  ovate-fusiform,  thin,  covered 
with  a  thin  cuticle,  pale  yellow  on  the  last  whorl,  grayish- 
corneous  on  the  spire ;  rather  openly  but  deeply  umbilicate ; 
sculptured  throughout  with  impressed  spiral  lines.  Whorls 
moderately  convex,  parted  by  impressed  sutures  which  are 
usually  margined  above  more  or  less  distinctly.  Last  whorl 
is  laterally  flattened  and  saccate  at  the  base.  Aperture  longer 
than  in  P.  flexuosa;  outer  lip  thin,  reflexed,  thickened  with- 
in except  near  the  posterior  termination. 

Length  19.7,  diarn.  9.8,  aperture  10.7  x  6.7  mm.;  whorls  5.

33,  pi.  2,  f.  9.— SMITH,  Ann.  Carnegie  Mus.  i,  p.  453,  no.  4239. 

This  form  stands  extremely  close  to  P.  flexuosa,  but  it  has 
a  longer  aperture  and  somewhat  thinner  shell.  The  umbilicus 
is  also  a  little  more  open  in  hastula.  I  hardly  think  the  two 
specifically  distinct.  Figures  and  description  from  the  co- 
types, no.  4239  Carnegie  Mus. 

Dr.  Hartman  at  first  gave  the  locality  as  "Erromango 
Island,  Solomon  Is.,"  an  error  for  Eromanga,  New  Hebrides; 
but  on  the  back  of  the  label  he  has  written  "Simbo,  Eddy- 
stone  Isl."

cate,  thin,  pale  gray-buff,  slightly  shining.  Embryonic 
whorls  are  very  minutely  sculptured  with  spiral  puncture- 
lines,  the  junction  with  the  after-growth  not  distinct;  whorls 
somewhat  convex,  separated  by  a  well-impressed  suture,  which 
is  narrowly  bordered  above,  the  border  defined  by  an  im- 
pressed line ;  last  whorl  is  strongly  compressed  laterally,  sac- 
cate at  base,  and  a  little  concave  just  below  the  suture.  Post- 
embryonic  sculpture  of  strongly  developed  spiral  striae  and 
irregular  growth-lines  (very  similar  to  that  of  P.  regularis, 
fig.  11)  ;  behind  the  outer  lip  the  surface  is  opaque  and  often 
of  a  brighter  yellow  tint.  Aperture  ovate,  hardly  oblique, 
bluish  white  within.  Peristome  reflexed,  thickened  within 
except  near  the  upper  angle  where  it  is  thin.  Columellar  mar- 
gin oblique,  dilated  above.  Parietal  callus  thin. 

Length  18,  diam.  9.5,  aperture  9  mm. ;  whorls  5%. 

Length  17,  diam.  8.6,  aperture  8  mm. ;  whorls  5~y3.

Partula  incurvum  HARTMAN,  Proc.  A.  N.  S.  Phila.  1886, 
p.  31,  pi.  2,  f.  3. 

By  its  strong  spiral  sculpture  this  species  is  close  to  P. 
regularis,  but  it  is  more  lengthened  than  that,  with  less  con- 
vex whorls,  the  last  one  more  flattened  laterally  and  more 
sack-like  below.  P.  hastula  resembles  incurva,  but  it  is  far 
less  strongly  sculptured.  Description  and  figures  from  the 
type,  no.  4240  Carnegie  Museum. 

84.  P.  REGULARIS  Hartman.     PL  35,  figs.  11,  14. 

The  shell  is  ovate-conic,  rather  thin,  nearly  lusterless,  of 
a  pale  gray-buff  tint.  Sculpture  of  close,  strongly  developed 
spiral  striae  as  wide  as  'their  intervals,  (pi.  35,  fig.  11,  last 
whorl  behind  aperture  x  25) .  Spire  conic,  the  whorl  rather 
convex;  last  half  of  the  last  whorl  is  a  little  compressed 
laterally,  and  the  base  is  very  convex ;  umbilicus  deep,  rather 
open.  Aperture  oval,  bluish- white  within ;  peristome  thin,  re- 
flexed,  thickened  within  except  near  the  upper  end. 

Length  17,  diam.  9.8,  aperture  9  mm. ;  whorls  5%.

This  species  resembles  P.  flexuosa  in  shape  and  convexity 
of  the  whorls,  but  differs  in  being  more  strongly  sculptured 
spirally.  In  sculpture  it  recalls  P.  incurva,  but  that  is  more 
lengthened,  the  last  whorl  more  compressed  and  more 

saccate.

"Compared  with  P.  similaris  it  is  a  larger,  thinner  and 
more  inflated  shell.  Capt,  Brazier  sent  me  two  examples ; 
the  smaller  measured:  length  14,  diani.  8  mm."  (Hartman).

86.  P.   HOLLANDIANA  U.  Sp.       PI.   37,   figS.   8,   9,   10. 

The  shell  is  ovate-conic;  moderately  thin;  deeply  and 
rather  narrowly  rim-ate ;  isabelline  with  many  unequal  chest- 
nut lines  and  streaks  in  the  direction  of  growth-strife,  and 
a  narrow,  weakly-marked  band  of  the  same  at  the  periphery. 
Surface  rather  dull,  with  sculpture  of  weak  growth-wrinkles 
and  close,  slightly  rippled,  deeply  engraved  spiral  lines;  at 
the  peripheral  band  there  is  a  group  of  finer  spiral  lines. 
Whorls  4%,  convex,  parted  by  a  simple  suture,  which  on 
the  last  half  of  the  last  whorl  has  a  rather  wide  margin  be- 
low, defined  by  an  impressed  line.  The  last  whorl  is  rather

convex,  but  tapers  slightly  toward  the  base.  The  aperture  is 
slightly  oblique,  bluish-white  inside.  Peristome  white;  outer 
lip  narrowly  reflexed,  thickened  within,  except  at  the  strongly 
curved  posterior  part,  where  it  is  thin.  Columellar  margin 
dilated,  bi  ramose  above,  having  a  low  weak  nodule  just  be- 
low the  middle,  at  the  termination  of  the  internal  callus.

Mus.  i,  p.  452,  no.  4237. 

In  shape  and  sculpture  this  species  resembles  Partula  re- 
yiilaris,  but  it  differs  by  the  very  distinctly  marginated  suture, 
the  less  approaching  terminations  of  the  lip,  the  better  de- 
veloped callus  within  the  lip,  and  the  coloration,  which  seems 
to  be  quite  characteristic.  It  will  probably  be  found  to  be 
a  species  of  the  Solomon  Island  or  the  New  Hebrides. 

This  species  was  in  the  Hartman  collection  under  the  name 
"P.  laevigata  Pfr.,"  but  on  the  label  Dr.  Hartman  expressed 
the  opinion  that  it  was  not  that  species.  It  has  little  in  com- 
mon with  Icuvigata,  which  evidently  belongs  to  a  wholly  dif- 
ferent group.  Named  in  honor  of  Dr.  J.  W.  Holland,  Director 
of  the  Carnegie  Museum.

slightly  longer  than  the  spire,  tapering  towards  the  base,  sub- 
compressed.  Aperture  a  little  oblique,  obliquely  truncate- 
oblong.  Columella  somewhat  straightly  receding.  Peristome

Shell  deeply  rimate,  subperforate,  ovate-conic,  thin,  dis- 
tinctly decussated  with  close  growth-stria?  and  spiral  lines, 
diaphanous,  slightly  glossy,  pale  corneous ;  spire  conic,  rather 
acute,  the  suture  deep.  Whorls  nearly  5,  convex,  the  last  as 
long  as  the  spire,  rounded  at  base.  Columella  lightly  arcuate. 
Aperture  slightly  oblique,  oblong-oval;  peristome  whitish,  ex-

The  shell  is  larger  than  P.  pellucida,  with  a  half  whorl  more.

The  spire  is  shorter  than  that  of  P.  similaris,  with  not  quite 
5  whorls,  the  last  one  convex,  shaped  about  as  in  similaris, 
being  much  less  compressed  laterally  than  P.  coxi.  The  lip 
is  only  very  slightly  thickened  within, — much  less  than  in 
coxi,  similaris  etc.  The  spiral  striation  is  weaker  on  the 
last  whorl  than  in  the  allied  species.  Color  very  pale  honey 
yellow,  slightly  transparent.  The  suture  is  marked  with  a 
whitish  line.  Sometimes  a  margining  thread  may  be  seen 
above  it  on  the  last  whorl,  but  in  other  shells  this  is  con- 
cealed. The  last  half  whorl  is  impressed  just  below  the 
suture,  forming  a  sort  of  margination  there.

The  shell  is  oblong-conic,  openly  rimate  and  perforate,  thin, 
pale  yellowish-corneous  throughout,  imperfectly  transparent, 
not  glossy.-  Spire  conic,  the  apex  slightly  obtuse;  whorls  4V2 
to  4%,  all  convex ;  2%  embryonic  whorls  sculptured  with 
punctured  engraved  spirals,  following  whorls  marked  with 
growth-lines  and  fine  engraved  spirals,  which  continue  strongly 
and  evenly  developed  on  the  last  whorl,  which  is  especially 
convex  above  the  periphery  and  at  the  base,  and  somewhat 
tapering  between.  The  aperture  varies  from  moderately  to 
very  slightly  oblique,  ovate ;  outer  and  basal  lip  narrowly  re- 
flexed,  slightly  thickened  within  except  at  the  posterior  curve 
of  the  outer  lip  where  it  is  thin;  on  the  columellar  side  the 
thickening  extends  about  half  way  up  to  the  insertion.  The

This  shell  stands  near  P.  pellucida  Hartm.  but  differs  by 
its  longer,  less  obtuse  spire. 

Dip  to  the  beginning  of  the  last  whorl  the  shell  is  biconic, 
acutely  angular  or  earinate  at  the  periphery,  the  angle  bear- 
ing a  projecting  cord  wider  than  the  other  intervals  of  the 
spiral  sculpture.  The  axis  is  perforate  at  all  stages  of 
growth. 

P.  micans  has  the  last  whorl  less  compressed  laterally,  and 
the  lip  is  much  less  thickened  within.

"It  is  the  nearest  allied  to  P.  minuta  Pfr.  It  differs  in

One  adult  and  two  young  examples  in  the  Hartman  collec-

corneous  cuticle  which  is  partly  worn  off  in  ragged  streaks. 
The  surface  is  rather  coarsely  sculptured  with  close  wavy

spirals,  the  intervals  as  wide  as  the  striae ;  embryonic  sculp- 
ture indistinct,  being  worn.  Whorls  4*4,  convex,  the  latter 
part  of  the  last  whorl  somewhat  flattened  laterally  and 
slightly  concave  just  below  the  suture,  w*hich  is  whitish. 
Aperture  slightly  oblique,  oval;  peristome  continuous,  the 
outer  lip  slightly  expanded,  thickened  within  except  near 
the  posterior  angle ;  parietal  callus  heavy  for  so  small  a  shell, 
its  edge  distinctly  raised.  Umbilical  chink  short  but  deep.

long.  It  is  similar  but  has  the  corneous  cuticle  entire  and 
the  parietal  callus  weak  in  the  middle.  There  is  a  narrow 
slightly  prominent  though  hardly  raised  girdle  at  the  peri- 
phery, where  the  cuticle  is  more  persistent,  and  this  is  visible 
above  the  suture  for  a  short  distance  behind  the  aperture. 
This  structure  is  so  weak  that  it  might  readily  be  overlooked, 
but  it  is  visible  in  both  of  the  examples  seen.  The  aperture 
is  decidedly  oblique  in  this  shell. 

This  species  has  a  shorter  spire  than  the  preceding  forms 
and  is  a  little  smaller,  otherwise  they  seem  to  be  closely 
related.

pale  flesh-colored.  The  surface  is  glossy,  with  sculpture  of 
growth-wrinkles  and  extremely  fine  and  close  engraved  spirals. 
Above  the  periphery  of  the  last  whorl  these  spiral  lines  be- 
come faint,  more  or  less  obsolete.  The  apex  is  rather  pointed. 
The  last  half  of  the  last  whorl  is  compressed  laterally,  the 
base  saccate.  The  aperture  is  vertical,  ovate ;  the  lip  narrowly 
reflexed  and  thickened  within,  thin  near  the  posterior  angle, 
the  outer  margin  slightly  sinuous.  The  umbilical  chink  is 
rather  small. 

Length  17^,  diam.  8y2,  aperture  9x6  mm. ;  whorls  5. 

Length  16,  diam.  8%,  aperture  8%  x  6  mm. ;  whorls  41/£. 

It  differs  from  P.  coxi,  kubaryi  etc.  by  the  more  delicate, 
more  minute  and  crowded  spiral  lines  of  the  penultimate 
whorl  and  base.

shining.  Whorls  5,  all  moderately  convex;  2y2  embryonic 
whorls  are  sculptured  with  delicate  punctate  spiral  lines  as 
usual ;  following  whorls  have  fine  incised  spiral  lines  through- 
out, strongest  on  the  last  whorl.  The  suture  is  impressed, 
and  at  its  last  turn  is  bordered  above;  this  border  is  narrow, 
and  ^continued  as  a  slightly  differentiated  belt  on  the  last 
whorl,  in  front  of  the  aperture.  The  last  whorl  is  somewhat 
compressed  laterally  and  full  at  the  base.  The  aperture  is 
slightly  oblique,  ovate,  flesh-tinted  inside ;  lip  white,  narrowly 
reflexed,  thickened  within  except  at  the  upper  curve  where  it 
is  thin.  Columella  dilated  above.  Length  14.8,  diam.  8,

"P.  elongata  Pease,  and  P.  gracilis  of  the  same  author,  from 
the  Tahiti  group,  closely  resemble  this  species.  The  former 
is  rather  larger  and  broader,  not  so  strongly  spirally  striated, 
and  more  or  less  striped  with  pale  brown.  The  latter  has  a 
longer  aperture,  rather  more  convex  apical  whorls,  and  a  pecu- 
liar bulging  at  the  lower  part  of  the  body-whorl.  P.  minuta, 
Pfr.,  also  from  the  Admiralty  Islands,  is  similarly  sculptured, 
but  of  a  totally  distinct  form."  (E.  A.  Smith}. 

Mr.  Smith's  description  and  figure  (fig.  7)  are  copied. 
One  of  the  specimens  from  Wild  Island  before  me  is  smaller, 
length  141/2,  diam.  7,  aperture  7.2  mm.,  with  5  whorls.  The 
aperture  of  this  example  is  quite  oblique  (pi.  37,  fig.  6).  In 
a  larger  specimen  the  aperture  is  almost  vertical.  The  peri- 
pheral cord  common  to  other  species  of  the  group  is  visible 
above  the  suture,  which  is  also  very  distinctly  marginate  be- 
low, on  the  last  half  whorl.  Spiral  striation  is  very  dis-

specific  distinction  between  P.  similaris  and  P.  woodlarkiana. 
The  type  specimens  of  both  were  returned  to  Australia  by 
Dr.  Hartman.  I  have  copied  a  photograph  of  the  type  of 
P.  similaris  in  fig.  13.  Specimens  from  the  Trobriand  Is.  are 
also  figured,  pi.  37,  figs.  14,  15.'  The  shell  is  somewhat 
transparent  grayish  yellow,  flesh-tinted  near  the  apex.  The 
surface  is  very  distinctly  and  beautifully  decussate,  the  deeply 
engraved  spiral  lines  being  made  wavy  by  the  fine,  rather 
distinct  growth-striae.  The  last  whorl  is  convex,  narrowly 
umbilicate,  and  sometimes  margined  below  the  suture  on  its 
last  half.  A  narrow  margining  thread  may  be  seen  in  places 
above  the  suture.  The  suture  itself  is  edged  throughout  with 
a  fine  white  line.  The  callous  thickening  within  the  lip  thins 
out  rather  gradually  above,  not  abruptly  as  in  many  related 
species,  but  it  stops  abruptly  about  half  way  up  the  colu- 
mellar  margin.  At  the  columellar  insertion  there  is  a  slight 


groove.

This  species  is  more  lengthened  and  thinner  than  any  other 
known  to  me.  The  penultimate  whorl  is  longer  than  in  the 
species  already  mentioned  [P.  otaheitana,  rufd,  lineata,  lutea] . 
The  last  whorl,  finally,  is  but  little  dilated,  little  swollen. 
The  aperture  is  directed  to  the  right.  It  is  higher  than  wide, 
with  the  peristome  thick,  a  little  dilated  in  front  of  the  um- 
bilical chink.  The  surface  of  the  shell  is  very  finely  striate 
longitudinally  and  transversely,  hence  covered  with  a  fine 
and  granulose  network.  The  aperture  is  white.  All  the

This  Partula  is  the  largest  species  known  to  us.  It  is  10 
lines  long  and  7  in  diameter.  The  shell  is  thick,  solid,  with 
the  mouth  on  the  right  side,  large  and  oval,  provided  with  a 
thick  flange,  the  umbilicus  very  open  back  of  the  columellar 
plate  adnate  to  the  peristome.  The  spire  is  short,  conic,  ob- 
tuse at  the  apex,  the  whorls  parted  by  a  quite  deep  suture.

So  far  'as  I  know  the  Coquille  landed  only  at  Port  Dorey 
(near  Mt.  Arfak  and  the  N.-W.  cape  of  Geelvink  Bay),  and 
probably  this  shell  came  from  there.  The  visit  was  in  July- 
August,  1824.  Hartman,  at  one  time,  identified  P.  canalis 
as  P.  ~bulimoides.  From  Lesson's  description,  the  shell  must 
be  very  different  from  other  species  of  the  southwestern 
Pacific.

Straightly  conic  forms  with  high  embryonic  whorls  and 
very  deeply  engraved  later  whorls,  the  last  compressed  later-

The  three  closely  related  forms  from  Pelelu  (Pililu)  stand 
apart  from  all  other  Partulas.  They  have  some  appearance 
of  being  a  branch  from  the  Melanesian  group.  The  coloring, 
the  slight  differention  of  a  peripheral  belt  (marked  with  finer 
spiral  strias),  and  the  high  apical  whorls,  recall  species  of 
the  New  Hebrides  and  Solomon  Islands.

P.  thetis  SEMP.,  t.  c.,  p.  419,  pi.  12,  f.  6. 

This  third  species,  according  to  Semper,  is  not  quite  so  thin 
as  the  other  two.  The  aperture  is  a  little  rounder,  and  the 
summit  is  mamillate,  a  feature  totally  wanting  in  the  two 
other  species. 

A  specimen  before  me,  figs.  5,  6,  no.  4272  Carnegie  Mus., 
is  distinctly  streaked  with  greenish-corneous  and  whitish  on 
the  last  whorl,  growing  ruddy  on  the  spire.  The  apical 
whorls  are  very  high,  much  as  in  P.  brazieri  (pi.  33,  fig.  2) . 
The  rest  of  the  whorls  are  very  distinctly  and  beautifully 
sculptured  with  close,  deeply  engraved  spiral  lines.  The  lip 
is  thin  throughout,  not  perceptibly  thickened  within,  and 
tapers  rapidly  from  the  upper  third  to  the  insertion.  The 
columella  is  straight  and  vertical.  Length  30,  diam.  15, 
aperture  16.2x10  mm.,  including  peristome;  6  whorls. 

XII.  CAROLINE  ISLAND  SPECIES. 

Section  CAROLINELLA  n.  sect. 

Rather  solid,  opaque,  ventricose  shells,  with  the  aperture 
large  and  simple,  umbilical  area  small;  general  shape  Buli- 
moid.  Type  P.  guamensis  Pfr. 

This  Caroline  Island  group  consists  of  rather  large  Partulas 
with  a  quite  distinct  aspect.  They  look  like  ground  snails. 
P.  gonochila  and  P.  lutea  have  much  the  same  form,  but  are 
smaller  shells.  P.  lineata  is  a  small,  banded  species  of  quite 
different  type.

1,12  (May,  1849). 

A  large,  bulimoid  species  having  much  the  appearance  of  a 
small  Borus.  Pfeiffer's  type,  figured  in  Philippi 's  Abbil- 
dungen  (copied  in  my  fig.  9),  is  the  rather  obese  form  further 
illustrated  by  figs.  7  and  8.  The  embryonic  shell  is  very 
densely  striate  spirally  but  is  usually  worn  in  adult  shells. 
The  rest  of  the  whorls  have  distinct  spiral  striae,  which  in  the 
typical  form  are  deeply  engraved  throughout,  but  on  some 
examples  they  'become  rather  weak  on  the  last  whorl.  The 
ample  aperture  is  dull  purplish  inside  in  some  examples,  white 
in  others.  The  white  lip  is  reflexed,  and  a  little  thickened 
within.  The  chestnut  color  of  the  shell  is  sometimes  varied 
by  a  faintly  darker  line  at  the  periphery.  Examples  measure  : 

Length  27,  diam.  18.3,  aperture  16  x  11.8  mm. ;  whorls  5l/3. 

Length  27,  diam.  17,  aperture  15.5  x  11  mm. ;  whorls  5y2. 

Length  28,  diam.  17,  aperture  15  x  12  mm. ;  whorls  5y2. 

The  form  called  brumalis  by  Reeve  (pi.  38,  fig.  10,  copied 


310  PARTULA,    CAROLINE    ISLANDS. 

from  Reeve)  is  somewhat  more  elongated,  yet  it  intergrades 
fully  with  guamensis,  judging  from  examples  'before  me  (see 
measurements  above).  The  forms  figured  by  von  Martens 
from  the  ruins  of  Nanmatal  belong  to  this  more  lengthened 
type.  They  further  illustrate  the  variation  in  shape  of  aper- 
ture caused  by  the  different  degrees  of  inclination  of  the 
columella,  and  hence  have  been  copied  in  my  figs.  11,  12,  13, 
14  of  pi.  38. 

Dr.  von  Martens  gives  the  size  as  length  26,  diam.  16, 
aperture  15  x  11  mm. 

Both  Hartman  and  von  Moellendorff  have  renamed  this 
species,  objecting  to  the  name  guamensis  "inasmuch  as  this 
mollusk  certainly  does  not  live  on  the  island  of  Guam,  where 
my  friend  Quadras  collected  for  more  than  two  months  with- 
out finding  it"  (Mlldff.}  ;  but  if  the  name  be  rejected  on  that 
ground,  the  species  should  be  called  brumalis  Rve. 

P.  GUAMENSIS  GRANDIS  Moellendorff  is  "much  larger,  diam. 
19,  alt.  30.5  mm.,  less  solid,  spiral  sculpture  somewhat  less 
marked,  peristome  more  expanded,  less  labiate;  5%  to  nearly 
6  whorls.  Ponape,  coast  region  (Etscheid,  Kubary). 

"#There  are  three  color- variations,  viz.,  dark  purple-brown 
with  violet  lip  (typical)  ;  castanea,  pale  -chestnut  colored  with 
white  lip ;  and  flavescens,  pale  greenish  yellow.  The  last 
named  albino  is  rather  rare  "  (Mlldff.}. 

106.  P.  MARTENSIANA  Pilsbry,  n.  sp.     PI.  38,  figs.  15,  16. 

The  shell  is  ovate-conic,  solid  and  strong,  opaque,  with  a 
small,  compressed  umbilicus;  beneath  a  yellow  cuticle  (which 
is  partially  lost  from  the  type  specimen,  a  "dead"  shell), 
the  substance  of  the  shell  is  dull  flesh  color,  becoming  darker 
on  the  spire,  the  first  three  whorls  being  dull  brownish  purple. 
The  spire  is  conic,  summit  slightly  obtuse;  the  early  whorls 
are  worn  and  show  no  sculpture ;  last  whorl  has  no  spiral  in- 
cised lines,  but  some  traces  of  fine  .spiral  wrinkling  may  be 
seen  in  places,  though  it  is  very  fine  and  weak.  Whorls  5, 
convex,  the  last  convex  throughout.  Aperture  is  very  slightly 
oblique,  flesh-pink  within;  peristome  white,  very  slightly  ex-

panded,  strongly  thickened  within.  Columellar  margin  di- 
lated above,  deep  within,  as  in  P.  guamensis.  Length  22.3, 
diam.  14.1,  aperture  12.1  x  9  mm.

Related  to  P.  guamensis,  from  which  it  differs  by  the  ab- 
sence of  distinct  spiral  lines  on  the  last  whorl,  the  less  ex- 
panded but  more  thickened  lip  and  more  contracted  aperture. 
It  was  identified  by  Dr.  Hartman  with  P.  rufa  Lesson,  but 
that  is  a  smaller,  especially  narrower  shell. 

The  type  specimen  was  collected  by  John  Brazier  "on  the 
banks  of  the  Leila  river,  Chabroul  Harbor,  Ouhalan  or 
Strong's  Island,"  according  to  a  letter  from  Brazier  to  Dr. 
Hartman,  written  at  Sydney,  June  18,  1885. 

A  second  specimen  in  the  Hartman  collection  measures, 
length  21.5,  diam.  14.  aperture  11.7  mm.  It  is  an  old  shell, 
faded  and  broken. 

107.  P.  RUFA  Lesson. 

This  species  resembles  especially  the  preceding  [P.  ota- 
heitana] ,  but  the  aperture  is  turned  to  the  right.  The  spire  is 
less  lengthened,  more  swollen,  more  conic.  The  last  whorl  is 
proportionally  larger.  The  aperture  is  more  oval  and  less 
contracted,  and  its  peristome  is  not  so  thick.  The  color  is 
dirty  red.  Length  8,  diam.  4  lines  (Lesson).

Lesson's  brief  description  indicates  a  shell  resembling 
P.  guamensis  in  general  features,  but  much  smaller  than  any 
other  known  species  of  the  group, — about  16  or  17  mm.  long, 
8  or  9  wide.  It  is  hardly  possible  that  the  identifications  of 
P.  rufa  made  by  either  Hartman  or  von  Martens  are  correct. 
This  was  also  the  opinion  of  Dr.  0.  von  Moellendorff.  P.  rufa 
still  awaits  rediscovery.

Group  of  P.  lineata. 

108.  P.  LINEATA  Lesson.     PI.  39,  figs.  19,  20. 

The  shell  of  this  species  is  oval,  long,  with  conic  spire,  a 
half  whorl  swollen.  The  aperture  opens  on  the  right  side. 
It  is  contracted  by  a  thick  rim  recurved  'backward,  and  di- 
lated at  its  junction  with  the  columellar  axis,  a  little  in  ad- 
vance of  the  umbilical  crevice.  It.  is  nearly  of  the  same  size 
and  shape  as  the  0-Taite  Partula  [P.  otaheitana],  -but  it  is 
constantly  a  little  shorter  and  more  inflated.  The  color  is 
pale  yellow  with  two  ribbon-like  stripes  of  fawn,  one  short, 
surrounding  the  opening  of  the  umbilicus,  the  other  running 
around  the  middle  of  the  large  (last)  whorl,  and  covered 
by  the  suture  on  the  spire.  Length  8,  diam.  5  lines  (about 
16x10  mm.).  (Lesson).

BECK,  Index  Molluscorum  p.  57  no.  6  (undefined,  but  identi- 
fied with  a  ?  with  P.  lineata  Less.). 

This  species  was  'considered  the  same  as  P.  suturalis  Pfr.,  of 
Moorea,  Society  Islands,  by  Mr.  Garrett  in  his  paper  of  1884, 
but  later  he  doubted  the  identification,  in  a  letter  written  to 
Dr.  Hartman.  Mr.  Brazier,  who  visited  Ualan,  did  not  find 
Lesson's  species  (H.  H.  Smith,  Ann.  Carnegie  Museum  i,  p. 
446). 

The  general  appearance  of  the  shell  is  that  of  a  Society  Island 
species;  but  the  Coquille  did  not  visit  the  island  of  Moorea 
where  the  forms  (P.  suturalis,  P.  t&niata)  best  agreeing  with 
Lesson's  description  occur,  but  only  Tahiti  and  Borabora,  ob- 
taining P.  otaheitana  at  the  former,  P.  lutea  at  the  latter 
place.  They  were  at  Ualan  in  the  Carolines  on  June  15th, 
1824,  anchoring  in  Coquille  Harbor  on  the  N.-W.  side  of  the 
island. 

In  view  of  the  general  reliability  of  the  locality  records 
in  the  Zoology  of  the  Coquille,  and  the  imperfection  of  our 
knowledge  of  the  shells  of  Ualan,  I  think  it  not  improbable 
that  P.  lineata  may  eventually  be  found  there. 


PARTULA,    MARIANNE   ISLANDS.  313 

The  nodule  on  the  parietal  wall,  shown  in  Lesson's  figure 
tout  not  mentioned  in  the  description,  is  a  feature  appearing 
also  in  species  of  the  Society,  Fiji  and  Marianne  groups. 
The  relationships  of  the  species  are  obscure.  I  would  not 
venture  to  assign  it  to  any  of  the  subgenera.

Ferussac 's  type  of  P.  gibba  was  a  small,  short  example. 
His  figure  is  copied  (pi.  39,  fig.  1).  The  last  whorl  is  pale 
yellowish-corneous,  spire  of  a  rather  peculiar  dull  scarlet 


314  PARTULA,    MARIANNE   ISLANDS. 

color.  The  last  three  whorls  have  an  opaque  white  'border  be- 
low the  suture.  The  last  whorl  varies  in  the  degree  of  swell- 
ing, and  in  small  individuals  is  usually  angular  in  front,  at 
the  periphery;  base  very  full  and  convex.  Umbilicus  small 
and  deep,  more  rounded  than  usual  in  Partula.  The  engraved 
spiral  lines  are  distinct  and  not  very  close  above  the  periphery, 
more  crowded  on  the  base.  The  aperture  is  oblique,  white  in- 
side in  the  pale,  variously  colored  in  the  dark  varieties.  The 
peristome  is  white,  or  in  some  forms  flesh-tinted.  The  outer 
lip  is  expanded,  rather  heavily  thickened  within,  the  callus 
somewhat  abruptly  terminating  at  the  beginning  of  the  curve 
to  the  upper  insertion;  columellar  lip  dilated.  Figs.  2,  3, 
5  and  6  represent  individuals  of  the  typical  P.  gib'ba.  Be- 
sides the  typical  coloration  (a)  described  above,  there  are 
shells  with  (6)  reddish  spire  and  brown  last  whorl  (fig.  2), 
and  others  (c)  of  the  typical  pale  tint  and  a  white  spire  (fig. 
9).  These  forms  occur  together  in  some  lots  before  me. 
Other  forms  are : 

(d)  Corneous-white,  somewhat  transparent,  very  thin  (pi. 
39,  fig.  11). 

(e)  Drab  with  the  spire  dull  dark  purple,  lip  fleshy  (fig.  7). 
(/')  Lilac,  the  spire  darker,  aperture  brown  within  (fig.  8). 
(g)   Light  reddish-brown  (fig.  5). 

(/O  First  21/)  whorls  foi  colored,  brown  and  whitish,  the  rest 
corneous-yellow,  becoming  dull  purple  near  the  lip.  Interior 
lilac,  with  a  brown  streak  within  the  lip,  which  is  flesh-colored 
(fig.  10). 

There  is  considerable  variation  in  the  solidity  of  the  shell, 
and  the  thickness  of  the  lip-callus.  The  latter  is  sometimes 
perceptibly  nodulous,  as  in  fig.  6. 

To  what  extent  the  variations  in  color  and  texture  are  local 
or  racial  is  unknown.  All  have  a  white  sutural  border.  Ex- 
amples measure  as  follows: 

(a)  Length  17,  diam.  11.3,  aperture  9.8  mm.  long. 

(d)  Length  17,  diam.  12,  aperture  10  mm.  long.

PARTULA,    MARIANNE   ISLANDS.  315 

(/i)  Length  IS1/^,  diam.  13,  aperture  11  mm.  long. 

Specimens  of  a  lot  consisting  of  rather  solid  shells  of  forms 
b  and  g  show  a  thin  callus  or  low  tubercle  on  the  parietal 
wall,  approaching  P.  bicolor  in  this  respect  (figs.  5,  6). 

P.  mastersi  Pfr.  seems  to  be  identical  with  gibba,  judging 
from  the  description  and  specimens  before  me.  It  is  de- 
scribed as  rather  solid,  buff,  fleshy  or  violaceous,  sometimes 
banded  with  brown  on  the  upper  whorls.  It  is  17  mm.  long, 
with  the  aperture  10%  mm. 


109a.  P.  GIBBA  BICOLOR  Pease.     PI.  39,  figs.  12  to  18. 

Shell  solid,  perforate,  acutely  ovate,  glossy,  transversely 
marked  with  close  obsolete  stria?  ;  straw-colored,  the  whorls  of 
the  spire  encircled  with  a  brownish  band  next  to  the  suture. 
Peristome  brownish  outside  and  within.  Whorls  4,  convex, 
the  last  half  the  length  of  the  shell.  Peristome  thickened, 
narrowly  and  equally  expanded.  Aperture  slightly  oblique, 
oval,  with  a  small  callus  deep  within  on  the  belly  of  the  penul- 
timate whorl.  Length  15,  diam.  9  mm.  ;  aperture  5  mm.  long, 
4  mm.  wide  (Pease}. 

Marianne  Is.:  Guam  (Pease,  Quadras). 

Partula  bicolor  PSE.,  Amer.  Journ.  of  Conch,  vii,  p.  26,  pL 
9,  f.  4  (August  1,  1871). 

The  above  may  be  distinguished  from  P.  gibba,  which  occurs 
at  the  same  locality,  in  being  of  smaller  size,  last  whorl  not 
inflated,  and  in  its  color  (Pse.). 

This  form  intergrades  with  P.  gibba,  and  should  evidently 
be  regarded  as  a  subspecies  of  that,  chiefly  distinguished  by 
having  the  last  whorl  less  swollen  than  in  typical  gibba,  and 
by  having  a  callous  nodule  deep  within,  on  the  parietal  wall 
near  the  columella.  This  nodule  is  seen  very  weakly  de- 
veloped in  some  examples  of  gibba.  Other  supposed  differ- 
ences are  even  less  constant. 

Pease's  original  description  reproduced  above  is  not  good; 
his  figure  is  copied,  pi.  39,  fig.  17.  The  shell  is  rather  solid, 
with  sculpture  of  spiral  lines  as  in  P.  gibba.  On  the  last 
whorl  these  lines  are  very  fine  and  close  on  the  base,  but  a

little  more  separated  above  the  periphery.  The  surface  is 
glossy.  The  lip  may  be  narrow  and  nearly  uniform  in  width, 
but  usually  it  is  rather  strongly  thickened  inside,  the  callus 
abruptly  discontinued  near  the  posterior  curve.  The  color 
-of  the  lip  is  quite  variable.  There  is  a  callous  nodule  deep 
within,  near  the  columella,  but  it  is  very  variable  in  size. 
The  suture  may  be  marked  with  a  whitish  line,  but  often  this 
is  absent.  No  specimen  I  have  seen  has  a  well  developed 
white  band  along  the  suture,  such  as  is  usual  in  P.  gibba 
The  color-patterns  known  are  as  follows : 

(a)  Straw  colored  or  isabelline,  with  a  reddish-brown  band 
above  the  suture  almost  to  its  end,  and  covering  the  first 
li/o  whorls;  outer  half  of  the  lip  brown,  inner  rim 
white.  This  is  the  typical  coloration  (figs.  12). 
(&)  First  2  whorls  purplish-brown,  the  third  pale  below  the 
suture  with  the  dark  color  fading  (or  the  subsutural 
pale  area  may  extend  nearly  to  the  apex)  ;  last  2  whorls 
straw  yellow  or  pale  isabelline  with  faint  or  distinct 
brownish  streaks ;  back  of  lip  reddish  or  yellow ;  lip 
narrow,  very  pale  brown;  surface  rather  dull  (fig.  18). 

(c)  Same  as  the  last  but  without  brown  on  the  spire;  sur- 
face lusterless  (fig.  15,  16). 

{d)   Pale    uniform    sulphur-yellow    throughout,    the    lip 

brown- tinted  or  brown-edged  (fig.  14). 
(e)   Pale    sulphur-yellow,    the   lip    heavily   thickened    and 

pure  white  (fig.  13). 
The  size  varies  as  follows : 

(a)   Length  17,  diam.  11.5,  aperture  10  mm.;  whorls  4%. 
{&)   Length  17,  diam.  11,  aperture  9.5  mm.;  whorls  4i/o. 

(d)  Length  16,  diam.  11,  aperture  9.4  mm.;  whorls  41/4. 
(c)   Length  15.7,  diam.  10,  aperture  9.1  mm.;  whorls  4y2. 

110.  P.  RADIOLATA  (Pfeiffer).     PI.  41,  figs.  1,  2,  3,  4. 

Shell  subperf  orate,  oblong-tapering,  the  apex  obtuse,  thin; 
sculptured  with  distant  impressed  spiral  lines;  pale  straw- 
colored,  rayed  with  darker  streaks  and  brown  lines.  Whorls 
5,  slightly  convex,  the  last  about  equal  to  the  spire,  base

tumid  in  front.  Columella  short,  shortly  receding.  Aper- 
ture obliquely  oval,  glossy  inside,  yellow ;  peristome  simple, 
thin,  white,  expanded,  the  right  margin  somewhat  straight- 
ened, columellar  margin  dilated  above,  spreading  above  the 
umbilicus.  Length  19,  diam.  10,  aperture  9x5  mm.  inside

Marianne  Is.:  Guam,  on  bushes  (Cuming,  Quadras,  Rush). 

Bulnnus  radiolatus  PFR.,  P.  Z.  S.  1846,  p.  39;  Monogr.  ii, 
69. — Partula  radiolata  PFR.,  Monogr.  iii,  p.  450;  viii.  198; 
Conchyl.  Cab.  p.  270,  pi.  64,  f.  17,  18.— REEVE,  Conch.  Icon, 
vi,  pi.  2,  f.  6. 

This  form  was  at  first  supposed  to  be  from  New  Ireland, 
but  was  soon  shown  to  come  from  Guam.  It  is  a  narrowly 
iimbilicate,  thin  shell,  copiously  striped  with  corneous  and 
opaque  white,  with  more  or  less  suffusion  of  pale  lemon  yel- 
low. In  the  more  fully  colored  examples  there  are  also  many 
olive-yellow  lines  among  the  stripes,  scarcely  visible  except 
under  a  lens.  These  lines  dilate  at  the  periphery,  which 
therefore,  appears  to  have  a  faint  band.  This  pattern  is 
shown  in  fig.  4.  Other  examples  lack  the  dark  lines  and 
peripheral  band.  The  embryonic  shell  is  very  densely  and 
distinctly  engraved  spirally,  the  lines  disappearing  towards 
the  apex ;  the  first  whorl  is  weakly  plicate  radially.  The  last 
whorl  is  marked  with  rather  widely  spaced  spiral  lines,  closer 
on  the  base.  In  the  typical  form  these  lines  are  rather  weak. 
The  last  whorl  is  very  full  at  the  base.  The  lip  is  white, 
narrowly  reflexed,  very  little  thickened  within.  Specimens 
measure : 

Length  19,  diam.  11.2,  aperture  11  x  7.1  mm. ;  whorls 

Length  17.5,  diam.  11,  aperture  10  x  7  mm. ;  whorls 

Length  17,  diam.  10,  aperture  9.5  x  7  mm. ;  whorls  4%. 

Length  16,  diam.  9.9,  aperture  10  x  7  mm. ;  whorls  4%. 

A  form  (pi.  41,  fig.  2)  collected  by  Quadras  is  smaller,  with 
a  brown  band  above  the  suture  on  the  first  2y2  or  3  whorls 
of  some  specimens,  the  spire  in  others  being  -pale  lemon  tinted. 
The  last  whorl  has  the  typical  coloration.  The  aperture  is 
more  or  less  brown  inside  in  those  with  a  dark  summit.  The 
first  whorl  does  not  seem  to  be  plicate.

Length  16.5,  diam.  10,  aperture  9  mm. ;  whorls 
Length  14,  diam.  8.3,  aperture  8  mm. ;  whorls  4%. 
P.  radiolata  rushi,  n.  var.,  pi.  41,  fig.  1.     Dr.  W.  H.  Rush 
collected  examples  much  darker  in  color  at  Port  San  Luis 
d'Apra,  Guam  (no.  84841  A.  N.  S.).     The  last  iy2  whorls  are 
striped  with  cream  and  dark  brown,  with  a  narrow  but  con- 
tinuous brown  peripheral  band.     The  spire  is  uniform  dark 
brown,  aperture  brown  within.     Sculpture  typical.     Length 
15,  diam.  9,  aperture  8.8  mm.  (pi.  41,  fig.  1). 

111.  P.  QUADRASI  Moellendorff. 

Shell  dextral,  narrowly  and  half-covered  perforate,  rather 
ventricose  ovate-conic,  very  thin,  pellucid,  delicately  striatu- 
late  transversely,  decussated  by  closely  crowded  spiral  lines; 
a  little  shining,  pale  buff  variegated  with  narrow  darker  and 
whitish  streaks,  sometimes  ornamented  with  two  indistinct 
bands.  Spire  subregularly  conic,  the  apex  somewhat  obtuse. 
Whorls  4,  a  little  convex,  separated  by  an  appressed,  mar- 
gined suture,  the  last  whorl  quite  convex,  nearly  tumid.  Aper- 
ture rather  oblique,  oval,  a  little  excised;  peristome  simple, 
thin,  well  expanded,  the  columella  dilated  above,  recurved, 
forming  a  distinct  angle,  almost  channeled,  with  the  parietal 
wall.  Length  15,  diam.  10.5,  aperture  9x7  mm.  (Mlldff.)

An  unfigured  species  which  seems  to  differ  from  the  small 
form  of  P.  radiolata  in  sculpture  and  by  having  fewer  whorls. 
It  is  possibly  identical  with  Ferussac's  P.  fragilis,  a  lost 
species  which  has  not  been  figured.  The  description  follows : 

P.  fragilis  Ferussac.  Shell  ovate-elongate,  perforate, 
fragile,  striatulate,  pellucid,  reddish;  spire  obtuse,  sutures 
strongly  marked.  Whorls  4,  the  last  ventricose,  subcarinate, 
larger  than  the  rest.  Aperture  ovate,  peristome  subreflexed.

]>ulimus  nibens  Miihl.  is  mentioned  as  a  synonym  of  fragilis 
by  Anton,  Verzeichniss,  p.  40.  It  is  a  nude  name.  No  sub- 
sequent author  has  recognized  P.  fragilis. 

XIV.  SNAILS  OF  OTHER  GENERA  DESCRIBED  AS  PARTULAE. 

Partula  acuticosta,  consimilis  and  lamellicosta,  Journ.  A. 
N.  S.  Phila.  ix,  113,  are  errors  for  Patula  a.,  c.  and  I. 

Partula  auricula  Fer.,  1821  =  Auriculella. 

Partula  australis  Bowdich  1822  =  Strophocheilus. 

Partula  batavitf  Grateloup,  1840,  =  Amphidromus  adamsi 
var.  rubiginosus  Fulton  (Proc.  Malac.  Soc.  London  viii,  44). 

Partula  delatouri  Hartm.  =  Diplomorpha,  Vol.  xiii,  118. 

Partula  dumartroyi  Souleyet  =  Auriculella. 

Partula  flavescens  King,  1831  =  Bulimulus  chilensis  Less. 
Man.  Conch.  XI,  p.  8. 

Partula  glaber  Hartman,  Proc.  A.  N.  S.  Phila.  1885,  p.  205, 
is  Drymaus  strigatus  Sowb.,  color-form  purus.  See  MANUAL 
XI,  p.  228.  The  type  specimen  of  glaber,  no.  4291  Carnegie 
Museum,  agrees  exactly  \vith  the  Peruvian  shell,  but  the 
internal  lilac  lip-border,  though  still  noticeable,  has  faded. 

Partula  layardi  Braz.,  llartm.  is  a  Diplomorpha,  Vol.  xiii, 
p.  116. 

Bulimus  macleayi  Brazier  from  Yule  Island,  other  islands 
in  Torres  Strait,  and  Queensland,  was  described  as  a  Papuina 
in  this  Manual,  Vol.  XIII,  p.  121.  It  has  been  referred  by 
Hedley  to  Partula  (Proc.  Linn.  Soc.  N.  S.  Wales  ix,  1894,  p. 
387,  pi.  26,  f.  22,  23)  ;  the  radula  figured  by  him  has 
marginal  teeth  resembling  those  of  Partula,  yet  differing  by 
the  larger  size  of  the  second  cusp,  whereas  in  Partula  the  inner 
cusp  is  the  larger.  The  central  tooth  has  no  side-cusps. 
There  are  160  rows  of  40,6,1,6,40  teeth.  If  the  pallial  organs 
etc.,  confirm  the  relationship  claimed  by  Hedley  (but  which  I 
doubt)  this  species  will  form  a  new  genus  of  Partulidce,  char- 
acterized by  the  unexpanded,  thin  and  simple  lip  of  the  shell, 
and  the  absence  of  the  typical  apical  sculpture  of  Partula.

GLESSULA  SINHILA  Preston.     PI.  43,  fig.  7. 

Shell  moderately  thin,  polished,  dark  yellowish-horn  color, 
obtusely  lanceolate.  Whorls  71/4,  marked  with  very  faint 
lines  of  growth  only;  sutures  impressed.  Columella  descend- 
ing in  a  very  oblique  curve;  peristome  simple,  bent  slightly

P.  173.     Add  fig.  13  to  those  cited  after  P.  BELLULA. 

P.  287.  The  name  Partula  minor  Hartman  might  by  some 
be  considered  unavailable  on  account  of  the  earlier  B.  roseus 
var.  &.  minor,  of  Pfeiffer;  yet  it  appears  that  Pfeiffer  here 
intended  the  word  minor  as  a  description,  not  as  a  name. 

P.  313.  Under  XIII  etc.,  read  Section  MARIANELLA,  in 
place  of  "MARIANNA.  "  The  former  term  was  used  on  p.  166.
