224 TORNATELLIDES OF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 



ft 1 . Adult shells with the diameter more than 65% of 

 the length. T. spaldingi, no. 36. 



o 1 . Umbilicus about 0.4 mm. diarn. ; shell 2.6 x 1.4 mm., broader 

 than T. perkinsi. T. comes, no. 31.

 &'. Diameter less than half the length. 



c. Parietal lamella wide ; whorls convex.

T. perkinsi, no. 30. 



30. T. PERKINSI (Sykes). PL 49, figs. 1, 2, 5. 



"Shell elongate-pyramidal, subperforate, corneous, striatu- 

 late under the lens. Whorls 7, rather flat, slowly increasing ; 

 suture somewhat impressed. Aperture ovate, bearing a rather 

 minute lamella on the parietal wall. Coluniella thickened, 

 whitish, marked with two inconspicuous plicas. Length 3, 

 d iam. 1.2 mm." (Sykes). 



Kauai: Kaholuamano, at 4,000 ft. (Perkins). Olokele, Lihue 

 (Cooke).

"Its most noteworthy features are the very elongately 

 pyramidal shape, flattened whorls, and the two inconspicuous 

 plicse on the columella, the upper one being more deeply 

 seated than the lower" (Sykes). 



The shells from Olokele were found on the fronds of Poly- 

 podium spectrum and are slightly smaller than the type spe- 

 cimen. One of them when compared with the type agreed 

 perfectly except in size. Tt has 7 whorls and measures : length 

 2.9, diam. 1.2, axis of apert. 0.85, par. lam. 0.065, umb. 0.27 

 mm. The columella is tumid above and its folds are low and 

 nearly transverse. The suture is distinctly margined. The 

 embryonic whorls are rather smooth, except in specimens 

 from Li h uc which have the embryonic whorls regularly and 

 minutely transversely striate.
