(5) Leptachatina arborea, n. sp. 



Testa ovato-oblonga, turrita, tenuis vel tenuiuscula, dextrorsa, cornea, longitudina- 

 liter levissime striatula ; anfr. 6 — 7, plano-convexi, ultimus | altitudinis testae 

 aequans ; sutura bene impressa ; apertura quadrato-ovata, margine dextro subincras- 

 satulo, columellari verticali, incrassato, reflexo, plica parva vix conspicua munito. 

 Alt. 8; diam. 3-6 mill. Plate XI. fig. 21. 



The plica is very inconspicuous; the colour becomes lighter in adult specimens, and 

 then the polished, transparent gloss disappears and the shell becomes of a straw colour. 

 Over thirty specimens were collected by Mr Perkins ; they vary slightly in shape, a 

 few being broader in proportion to the length, and having more inflated whorls. 

 Mr Baldwin sends me the following note: "It is found on the Candle-nut tree 

 [Aleurites mohtccana), among the leaves of the Bird-nest fern {Asplcniuvi nidus), some- 

 times at a height of 30 or 40 feet. All the other known species of Leptachatina are 

 terrestrial — under rocks or on dead leaves and decaying wood." 



Hab. Hawaii, Kona at 4000 feet (Perkins); Olaa, Hilo (Baldwin).
