324 ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA. 



except for a very faint tint on the lip, fig. 6. With them are 

 two small specimens of vespertina color, agreeing with the du- 

 plocincta in size and shape. It seems likely therefore that 

 duplocincta is a mutation in a colony of small vespertina. If 

 not extinct it may be expected to occur in the vicinity of that 

 race. Whether related to alba I cannot say.

"Shell snow-white, save for the peristome being margined 

 with lilac, similar tinting appearing on the columellar plait 

 and inside the outer lip at its junction with the body-whorl 

 of the shell" (Sykes). 



Near the head of Kawailoa gulch (Perkins).

This may be a variant of the form I have called A. a. beata; 

 but if the locality given is correct, it is probably a parallel 

 modification rather than the same form. Kawailoa is properly 

 speaking the gulch of the Anahulu river, west of Opaeula, 

 while the ridge occupied by beata is a considerable distance 

 east of Opaeula. If really from Kawailoa, A. a. alba is at the 

 extreme western border of the apexfulva area.

"Shell imperf orate, globose-conic, solid, smooth, blackish or 

 brown, irregularly pallidly radiate and subfasciate ; spire 

 conic, apex cinnamon or liver colored, rather acute. Whorls 

 6, the upper ones flat, the penultimate convex, last whorl glo- 

 bose, scarcely % the length of the shell. Aperture oblique, 

 subtetragonal-oval. Columellar fold high, tooth-like, lilac 

 colored. Peristome unexpanded, lipped with lilac within, the 

 columellar margin very much dilated, thickened and ad- 

 nate. Length 18%, diam. 12 mm. ; aperture 9 mm. long, 5
