of A. a. rubidipicta, and probably come from the border region be- 

 tween areas ii and 13. 



The darkest color form of the shell is shown in plate 4, figure 

 28, the last two whorls are tawny axially streaked and lined with 

 ochraceous buff, on the last whorl a wide band of white at the periph- 

 ery. The lightest color pattern (pi. 4, fig. 28a) is entirely white 

 on the last two whorls lined with ochraceous tawny. 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA ALBOFASCIATA var. i 

 Plate i, Figure 21 ; Plate 4, Figures 29, 29a; 



Distribution, area 14??: Kalihi, J. S, Emerson collection, BBM 

 102205-102207, collected by Gomes and W. B. Olson. The exact posi- 

 tion of the locality is unknown, but has been plotted by me on the 

 Kamanaiki-Kalihi Ridge opposite area 13? (fig. 3a, p. 29), because 

 of the similarity of this form to A. a. albofasciata. This form should 

 be collected again and the exact locality determined. 



The shells have a lighter color pattern than A. a. albofasciata. The 

 shade of the color pattern of the Kalihi shells best matches the holo- 

 type oi A. a. albofasciata, but the banding of the Kapalama shells is 

 closer to that of the holotype of albofasciata and for this reason 

 Kapalama is considered the region of the type locality. The Kalihi 

 shells are dominantly sinistral and composed of light color patterns. 

 Forms similar to plate 4, figure 28, are not found in this Kalihi lot. 

 Out of 34 shells, 9 are dextrals. 



The typical form of the shell (pi. i, fig. 21) is smaller than the 

 usual form of albofasciata from Kapalama, the postembryonic 

 whorls cinnamon buff faintly lined and streaked with white ; impressed 

 sutural band the color of the ground ; last whorl below the edge of the 

 periphery white, lined with cinnamon buff; lip and columella callus 

 pale cinnamon pink. Length 18. i mm., greater diameter 12.3 mm., 

 spire height 9.7 mm., number of whorls 6. 



The lightest color pattern (pi. 4, fig. 29) has the postembryonic 

 whorls white, lined with cinnamon buff. The dextral form of the 

 shell (pi. 4, fig. 29a) has the last two whorls light buff, axially streaked 

 and lined with ochraceous buff, last whorl at the periphery and below 

 the periphery banded with white. This form looks very much like 

 yellow forms of A. a. globosa (pi. 4, fig. 24). 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA OLIVERI, new subspecies 

 Plate i, Figure 18; Plate 4, Figures 30-31 



This form is intermediate between the more globose upper race of 

 A. a. albofasciata and the smaller form of A. a. simulans var. i.
