the coloration and acute apex are against this view. New- 

 comb's figure, which we copy, does not show the zigzag lineo- 

 lation described, probably because of its small size ; but it 

 has a marked resemblance to the small recent form of A. 

 conica from Hawaii. Whether drawn from a. Mauian or a 

 Hawaiian shell we do not know. It measures about 13.5 mm. 

 long, 7 wide, while the measurements of Newcomb 's type were 

 given as about 12.5x5.5 mm. Cf. A. conica kohalensis. 



Dr. C. Montague Cooke, in a recent letter writes that "New- 

 comb, in a letter written to Garrett, July 8, 1854, gives the 

 exact locality of this species (with melanosis) as 'near Kun- 

 neys. ' This is now the Paris place at South Kona, Hawaii. 

 Newcomb's original material was collected by Dr. Smith. In 

 the same letter Newcomb states that A. remyi is from Waimea, 

 Hawaii. No doubt that a number of Newcomb's localities 

 are wrong at least it seems so to me in working over his 

 species."

" Shell dextral, elongate, striatulate ; white with a fuga- 

 cious buff epidermis ; whorls 5-6 ? the last scarcely carinate ; 

 suture not duplicate; aperture ovate-elongate; columella 

 white, arcuate ; umbilical crevice not distinct. It was found 

 by M. Gaudichaud. It is probable that it lives on the Mari- 

 anne Is. We have seen but one example without the tip '

H. luteola Fer., has been supposed to be a form of A. turri- 

 tella, but the figures show a, shell with the last whorl more 

 oblong. Newcomb was unable to trace the type in the Paris 

 collection, and it is unknown to Hawaiian collectors so far 

 as we know. The original description is translated above. 

 If the figure in the Histoire was taken from the type speci- 

 men, which we have no reason to doubt, the apex was restored. 

 It is copied in our pi. 35, fig. 6.
