310 ACHATINELLA SWIFTII. 



globose-conic, lightly striated with growth-lines ; fawn colored, 

 streaked with darker (sometimes ornamented with a few 

 white and brown spiral lines) ; apex almost white, the nucleus 

 reddish-corneous. Whorls 6, the first four flattened, the rest 

 convex. Suture distinctly margined. Aperture pale reddish 

 within ; peristome lightly dilated, thickened within ; columellar 

 fold large. Length 18%, diam. 11% mm. 



"Habitat Sandwich Islands. Of a uniform fawn-color, 

 with darker stripes of the same hue, the apex being paler, 

 almost white, and the nuclear whorls reddish horn-colored' 

 (Smith). 



The type is in the British Museum. I think it is a special 

 pattern of the shell described by Gulick as A. polymorpha. 

 The color of the apex is the same, and some polymorpha have 

 similar body-color. 



'Apex neglect us Sm. (pi. 59, fig. 6, photographic repro- 

 duction of the type figure). Shell either sinistral or dextral, 

 imperforate, globose-conic, lightly striated with growth lines ; 

 dilute brown, streaked with darker or cinereous, umbilical 

 region often chestnut, apex white; spire a little concave; 

 whorls 6, the first four flattened, the rest convex; suture dis- 

 tinctly margined with deep chestnut. Aperture whitish with- 

 in ; peristome brownish, thickened within ; columellar fold 

 strong, reddish. Length 17, diam. 11% mm. 



"Habitat Sandwich Islands. In form this species agrees 

 very fairly with some varieties of lugubris Chemii. ; but it has 

 a shorter spire, and blunter apex than the usual form of that 

 species. The coloration is of a different character' (Smith). 



Mr. Sykes remarks that "the variety neglecta Smith is not 

 really so greenish as represented in the original figure ; fig. 

 23 on the same plate [innotafoilis, my fig. 7] gives a better 

 idea of the real color.' I entirely agree with Mr. Sykes that 

 coniformis Gulick is the same thing. 



"Apex versicolor Gk. (pi. 58, fig. 14, type specimen). Shell 

 sinistral, globose-conic, glossy, striated with growth lines 

 (scarcely with spirals) ; grayish white, irregularly streaked 

 and zoned with blackish-brown, the base blackish-brown. Su- 

 ture lightly margined, white (sometimes brown). Spire 

 lightly concave. Whorls 6, the first three pale, a little convex, 

 the rest convex. Aperture white, receding ; peristome slightly
