304 HAWAIIAN NESOPUPAE. 



Length 2.25, diam. 1.13, apert. (Diag.) 0.85 mm. 5*4 whorls; 

 Manoa, fossil (Cooke). 



Maui : Specimens of this subspecies from the highlands of 

 West Maui, have the apices much eroded giving the appearance 

 of a very blunt spire. The whorls are very convex and the 

 outlines are almost cylindrical. The surface is covered with 

 rather low, close, membranous cost*. A well preserved speci- 

 men (the apex of which is not much eroded) measures : Length 

 35, diam. 1.22, apert. (diag.) 0.97 mm. 5y 2 whorls. 



Specimens from East Maui are similar to those from West 

 Maui. 



Laiwi: I have seen only two specimens of this sub-species 

 from Lanai. Both were collected by Forbes and each came 

 from a different locality. Both specimens appear to be more 

 closely related to the Molokaian form than the Mauian. One 

 of them measures: Length 2.15, diam. 1.15. apert. (diag.) 

 0.86 mm. 514 whorls. 



No specimens of this subspecies have been seen from Hawaii, 

 and so far as I know up to the present time it has not l>een 

 taken on that island.
