The holotype of A. a. albofasciata (pi. 4, fig. 27) in the British 

 Museum is marked with a red dot of sealing wax. The postembryonic 

 whorls are cinnamon buff darkening to sayal brown on the last half 

 whorl, banded on the last whorl at the edge of the periphery with 

 white and in the umbilical region with white and light pinkish 

 cinnamon ; impressed sutural band white ; lip and columella callus 

 pale pinkish bufif. Length 18.5 mm., greater diameter 12.6, spire 

 height 9.0 mm., number of whorls 5f . 



Distribution, area 13?: Kapalama Stream, locality iioA-i?, "N. 

 Bank opposite Waiolani Peak. Halfway from top to bottom of Gulch, 

 elevation 1,500-1,550, Herb. Alani [Pelea]," L. A. Thurston 191 1, 

 BBM 131103-131106 (figs. 3, 30, p. 29). Also collected in Kapalama 

 by W. D. Wilder, BBM 50543, D. Eraser, BBM 15838, and Dos 

 Santos for Thurston, BBM 13 1095-13 1096. 



The Thurston lots contain 37 dextrals and 4 sinistrals. The usual 

 form of a dextral (pi. i, fig. 14) has the last half of the first post- 

 embryonic whorl, and the first half of the penultimate whorl, pinkish 

 bufif axially streaked with cinnamon bufif, last half of the penultimate 

 pale pinkish bufif banded with light pinkish bufif, shading on the last 

 whorl to pinkish bufif finely lined and streaked with white or pale 

 pinkish bufif, at the edge of the periphery a wide band of white ; im- 

 pressed sutural band pinkish bufif ; lip Hght vinaceous fawn splotched 

 with white. Length 19.8 mm., greater diameter 12.3 mm., spire height 

 10.8 mm., number of whorls 6i. A sinistral specimen (pi. 4, fig. 28b) 

 is very like the holotype, differing in being banded with white above 

 the periphery and about the base, last two whorls with bands of 

 cinnamon bufif streaked with cinnamon. The Kapalama form oi A. a. 

 albofasciata is very close in form to A. a. rnbidipicta. From Thurs- 

 ton's description it occupies an area just below A. a. rnbidipicta (area 

 11). A few specimens of A. a. albofasciata are often found in lots
