zigzag pattern and probably came from adjacent areas. Possibly 

 fuscostriata came from some area below A. a. cestus in Palolo or 

 Waialae Nui somewhere in the region of area 7??. 



The postembryonic whorls of the holotype (pi. i, fig. 4) are pinkish 

 buff axially streaked with straight and zigzag lines of russet, last 

 whorl with a white peripheral band, base banded with white and 

 carob brown; Hp and columella callus avellaneous. Length 16.4 mm., 

 greater diameter 11.2 mm., spire height 8.4 mm., number of whorls 6. 



Distribution, area 7 ? ? : Type locality Palolo, Gulick ; also Waialae, 

 Wailupe, Gulick (fig. 3a, p. 29). So much of the Gulick material is 

 undoubtedly mixed from several valleys that the true distribution of 

 the lowland races of Achatinella cannot be worked out from his data, 

 if all his labels are considered correct. I do not believe this form 

 ever occurred in Wailupe. 



The color pattern may lack a white peripheral band on the last 

 whorl (pi. 4, fig. 7), postembryonic whorls pale pinkish buff streaked 

 with cinnamon, base banded with white. A dextral specimen (pi. 4, 

 fig. ya) has the postembryonic whorls cream buff, axially streaked 

 with cinnamon, the last whorl banded above and below the edge of 

 the periphery with a band made up of broken lines of cinnamon, basal 

 band white and pinkish cinnamon.

The holotype in the British Museum is marked with a red spot of 

 sealing wax. The embryonic whorls are similar to A. a. cestus; 

 postembryonic whorls are light pinkish cinnamon axially streaked 

 with a darker shade of the ground color, peripheral band pale pinkish 

 buff; lip pale pinkish buff"; columella callus white. Length 18. i mm., 

 greater diameter 12.0 mm., spire height 10.6 mm., number of whorls 6. 



This color form is undoubtedly a distinct race which is now ex- 

 tinct. Specimens of A. a. innotahilis are rare and are found only in 

 collections made prior to 1900. The form is closest to that of A. a. 

 fuscostriata. It was possibly a lowland race occurring below or near 

 fuscostriata. A. a. fuscostriata may be an intermediate race between 

 A. a. innotahilis and A. a. cestus. A. a. innotahilis possibly occurred 

 in Wailupe.
