THE NAUTILUS. 57 



on bunch grass about 18 inches high. Here we collected the 

 following: 



Nesopupa boettgeri 5 spec. 

 Pronesopupa acanthinula 5 spec. 

 Tornatellides leptospira 16 spec. 

 Tornatellides brunneus 9 spec. 

 Tornatellides brunneus var. 3 spec. 

 Philonesia baldwini var. 6 spec. 

 Auriculella diaphana 20 spec. 

 Leptachatina gummea 2 spec. 



At 11:30 we ate lunch and after half an hour's rest we started 

 out again; this time we worked down the first ravine east of the 

 main West Keawaawa ridge. While on the backbone ridge we 

 noticed some kukui trees (Aleurites moluccana) which looked 

 very promising. On our way down the valley to these kukui 

 trees we collected the following shells: 



Nesopupa plicifera 2 spec. 

 Tornatellaria macromphala 3 spec. 

 Tornatellaria newcombi 2 spec. 

 Helidna rotelloiden 1 spec. 

 Amastra eos 48 spec. 

 AmaMra tristis 31 spec. 

 Leptachatina gummea 27 spec. 

 Leptachatina fusca 12 spec. 



After spending about an hour collecting these we headed for 

 the kukui trees. We found a few dead specimens of Achatinella 

 phxozona under these trees, and, after a careful search we found 

 twelve live specimens. Two were found on Lantana and the 

 rest were found near the tops of the kukui trees. It was a sur- 

 prise to us, for we were told that these shells were extinct in 

 Keawaawa. On Lantana and oee weed we found thirty-two 

 specimens of Achatinella viridans. Some of them were dark- 

 brown in color and many of them had broad white and light- 

 brown bands around the last whorl. 



This was a good find. The forest is dying away fast and in 

 the course of time these shells will be extinct. About three 

 years ago the writer and Antone Gouveia collected a few dead
