The type is in Pfeiffer's collection. 



''A. hanleyana Pfr. Shell subrimate, dextral, globose-conic,

 6, the upper flat, following moderately convex, the last nearly 

 as long as the spire, rounded ; aperture oblique, truncate auri-

 peristome lipped within; right margin narrowly reflected, 

 columellar margin dilated, callous, subadnate. Length 18,

Mr. Sykes remarks that this is "related to the form of 

 A. lor at a described as A. nobilis, and may prove to be an ex- 

 treme variety.' Dr. C. Montague Cooke, on examining the 

 type in the British Museum considered it an artificially colored 

 lorata. 



Pauoa has the same forms as Tantalus, with the addition of 

 a quite elongate form, which comes from the Pauoa-Nuuanu 

 ridge. 



Nuuanu. The shell is smaller in the average than on Tan- 

 talus, and the lip and columella are paler, almost or quite 

 white in most shells. The color-patterns are the same as in 

 Tantalus-Makiki shells, but white with one or two dark 

 bands is the usual pattern. PL 51, figs. 9, 10, 11 represent 

 shells from the south (east) side of Nuuanu, 011 lehua trees; 

 pi. 51, figs. 12, and pi. 52, fig. 4 are shells from the north 

 (west) slope, all collected by Dr. Cooke. Figs. 9, 11, 12 are 

 the less common color-patterns. Further Nuuanu shells, from 

 the Gulick collection, are figured, pi. 51, figs. 19-21. Four 

 shells from one tree on the floor of Nuuanu valley above the 

 central crater are shown in pi. 51, figs. 13-16, collected by 

 Dr. Cooke. The next colony westward is that of the summit 

 of the Nuuanu-Kalihi ridge, which differs from forms found
