a streak of darker brown on the left side of each white stripe. 

 In some shells the white is reduced to irregular spots on the last 

 whorl. These patterns are figured. The surface is rather 

 glossy, showing fine spirals under the lens; suture margined 

 with a white cord. Axis imperforate. Length 22, diam. 12^, 

 aperture 10 mm. ; 6f whorls. 



The shade of brown varies a good deal in different lots. 

 Lahaina specimens are figured, pi. 10, figs. 14 to 16, and pi. 

 13, fig. 13. In pi. 13, figs. 10, 11, 12, we figure three sinistral 

 specimens from Honokowai, collected by Mr. Thaanum. 



Var. undosa Gulick (pi. 10, figs. 17, 18, 19). Usually more 

 slender than perdix, the spire longer, stripes generally narrow, 

 sometimes pale and linear; distinctly perforate. 



Length 22, diam. 11.8, aperture 10.6 mm.; 6J whorls. 



Length 20, diam. 11.9, aperture 10.9 mm. 



Length 21, diam. 11, aperture 9.6 mm.

 well developed, white, oblique. Aperture rather oblique, semi- 

 oval; peristome thickened within, very slightly reflected; with 

 columellar margin dilated, adnate or slightly detached; parietal 

 margin wanting. 



"Length 21.6, breadth 11.4 mm., aperture 9.66 mm. The
