data concerning their locality, but the fact that they have pointed 

 globosa-like. embryonic whorls leads me to believe that they are a 

 lowland form of hanleyana which comes from somewhere in the 

 general region of Nuuanu to Kalihi. However, I may be wrong in this 

 belief and the shells may be lowland forms of Parhilina radiata 

 Gould. The first embryonic whorl (pi. i, fig. 17) is fawn color, next 

 whorl pale pinkish cinnamon, shading to pinkish buff; postembryonic 

 whorls pinkish buff, axially streaked with mikado brown and spirally 

 lined on the last whorl above the periphery with pinkish buff; im- 

 pressed sutural band the ground color ; columella callus white ; lip 

 tilleul buff. Length 20.8 mm., greater diameter 12.5 mm., spire 

 height 10.8 mm., number of whorls 6j. 



The shell may have a darker pattern (pi. 4, fig. 32). Postembryonic 

 whorls clay color, axially streaked with mikado brown, spirally lined 

 with cinnamon buff, last whorl below the periphery with a band of 

 white, about the base a band of cream color; lip outer edge pinkish 

 buff; columella callus and inner edge of lip white. Length 19.9 mm., 

 greater diameter 12.6 mm., spire height 9.8 mm.

but A. a. rubidipicta, new subspecies), 1914. 



The shell is a small lowland form, with a dark brownish band in 

 the umbilical region, one at or just below the edge of the periphery, 

 one just below the periphery; above the periphery on the last whorl 

 just behind the edge of the lip a patch of brown or group of brown 

 lines. 



The type lot of A. a. siinttlans contains three specimens none of 

 which agree with Reeve's original figure (pi. 4, fig. 33). One specimen 

 (pi. 4, fig. 34) in the type lot approaches the color pattern of the 

 original figure and is considered the lectotype. It differs from the 

 original figure in having a flat columella callus and in not having a 

 subsutural band on the last two whorls and three dark chocolate sub- 

 peripheral bands. The embryonic whorls are bicolored similar to those 

 of A. a. globosa, first embryonic whorl deep mouse gray, later em- 

 bryonic whorls white ; postembryonic whorls white with a band of 

 cinnamon just above or at the edge of the periphery, above the 

 periphery on the last whorl just behind the edge of the lip a streak 

 or patch of mikado brown, below the edge of the periphery a band of
