284 ACHATINELLA LORATA. 



(lorata having 5y 2 to 6). The peristome is usually darker 

 than in lorata of Nuuanu and Kalihi, buff-pink to brownish 

 vinaceous ; columellar fold the same or nearly white. Patterns 

 various : 



PI. 50, fig. 5, white. 



Fig. 2, white, the base finely yellow-streaked or merely 

 tinted, or streaked with tawny or Dresden brown. 



Fig. 3, 4, last two whorls yellow, usually with a white band 

 above. 



Any of these patterns may be varied by a few chestnut 

 lines or bands on the lower part, as in figs. 2, 3. 



Length 22.5, diam. 12.5, aperture 10.5 mm. 



Length 23.5, diam. 12, aperture 10.5 mm. 



Length 21, diam. 10.5, aperture 10 mm. 



The figures are from specimens taken on and around Wao- 

 lani Peak, where it is rather abundant, from the head of 

 Waolani valley up. This is probably the type locality. The 

 original description follows.
