ACHATINELLA BULIMOIDES. 165 



Some shells received from Newcomb are whitish, becoming 

 streaked with purplish-drab on the last whorl, with a pair of 

 brownish- drab bands at the periphery, lip with a dark-brown 

 edge (pi. 33, fig. 9). 



The specimens before me from Waialee (pi. 33, fig. 11), 

 Waimea (pi. 33, figs. 8 to 8c) and Kawailoa (pi. 33, figs. 10, 

 lOo-) show a good deal of variation in color; all collected by 

 Gulick. 



1. Purple-brown, with a belt of light reddish-brown below 

 the suture, upper whorls reddish or pale, lip fleshy-brown. 



2. Base reddish-chestnut, upper third of the last whorl yel- 

 lowish or white. 



3. Base flesh-colored, upper part white, a dark band be- 

 tween, lip white. 



4. Purplish-fleshy with indistinct whitish streaks, lip fleshy. 

 The preceding are Waimea shells, the same patterns occur- 

 ring in Kawailoa. In Waialee I note an additional pattern. 



5. Similar to no. 3, but whorls of the spire banded; lip 

 brown. This is the typical pattern. 



It will readily be seen that glabra inter grades in some of 

 its .color-forms with bulimoides, but both glabra and buli- 

 moides have other color-forms special to each. The area of 

 glabra overlaps that of bulimoides in part, and extends thence 

 to the western end of the range. 



Newcomb 's type locality, " Koolaupoko, ' is an extensive, 

 district on the north side of that portion of the Main Range 

 north and northeast of Honolulu (koolau signifying the wind- 

 ward or northern side, as kona the lee or southern district, on 

 any of the islands). Later collectors have found nothing re- 

 sembling A. glabra in the eastern part of the island ; but Gru- 

 lick, Spalding and others have taken the species in valleys of 

 the northwestern end of the range. There can be no doubt 

 that Newcomb was mislead as to the habitat of A. glabra.
