AMASTRA, MAUL 299 



rited, solid, obliquely striatulate; corneous-gray under a de- 

 ciduous fulvous epidermis. Spire elongate-conic, the apex 

 acute; suture subcrenate. Whorls 8, rather flat, the penulti- 

 mate more convex, the last whorl scarcely more than one- 

 third of the length, rotund. Aperture oblique, elliptical, 

 angular at both ends; peristome unexpanded, produced 

 basally, the margins joined by a callus, right margin some- 

 what labiate within ; columellar margin somewhat dilated, 

 adnate. Length 16, diam. 7%, aperture 6 mm. long, 3.5 wide. 

 Sandwich Is., Mus. Cuming " (Pfr.). 



Dr. Newcomb (Ann. Lye. N. H. of N. Y., vi, 328) remarks: 

 " Two of the three specimens in Mus. Cuming labelled A. 

 goniostoma Pfr., clearly belong to this species \afjinis] ; a 

 larger specimen may be distinct."

Shell dextral, cylindrically elongate ; whorls 7, rounded ; 

 suture deep; aperture small, subovate; lip simple; columella 

 short, lightly toothed; epidermis thin, of a light brown, be- 

 neath which the body-whorl is white, the three above pinkish, 

 and the others leaden ; brown zigzag undulations are some- 

 times found on the upper portions of the lower whorls. 

 Length 14, width five-twentieths of an inch [17.5x6.25 mm.]

Achatinella pupoidea Nc., P. Z. S., 1853, p. 144, pi. 23, fig. 

 42 (1854). 



Newcomb 's original figure is copied, fig. 5. Numerous spe- 

 cimens before us differ from affinis only by being more length- 

 ened, a variable character. Some cuticle is retained on the 

 last whorl. The pale ground is sometimes reddish above the 

 periphery, or has pale-reddish bands there. A delicate 'carina 

 is generally visible above the suture as far down as the fourth 

 whorl. The size varies. 



Length 17, diam. 7, aperture 6 mm. ; 7 whorls. 



Length 14.2, diam. 6.5, aperture 6 mm. ; 61/2 whorls. 



Length 17, diam. 8, aperture 7 mm. ; 6% whorls.
