periphery banded with a band of white, a line of ochraceous tawny, 

 base pale pinkish buff, darkening to warm sepia behind the edge 

 of the lip. Length 20.7 mm., greater diameter 13. i mm., spire 

 height II. I mm. 



In area 24 the usual color pattern and form (pi. i, fig. 31) is a 

 white shell with pale pinkish buff embryonic whorls ; lip and columella 

 callus light seal brown. Length 19.2 mm., greater diameter 12.7 mm., 

 spire height lo.o mm. The shell is a little narrower than the usual 

 form. The yellow-lined pattern of this area (pi. 5, fig. 14) has the 

 postembryonic whorls white with a band of cream buff above the 

 periphery, last whorl banded at the edge of the periphery with a band 

 of white, below the periphery banded with chamois shading to white

Area 20: Moanalua-Halawa Ridge, locality 163*, elevation 

 1,500-1,620 feet, Meinecke, 9 sinistral 1930. Also collected some- 

 where on the same ridge by O. H. Emerson, BBM 103964, 191 5 on 

 maile {Alyxia) and hoe (hoi?, Dioscorea) ; J. S. Emerson, BBM 

 102209, 191 5 (figs. 4, 40, p. 53). 



The usual color pattern of the shells in area 20 is similar to that of 

 A. a. ovum (area 22), but other patterns occur which do not resemble 

 those found in area 22. The embryonic whorls are very slightly bi- 

 colored but are closer to A. a. ovum than to A. a. simulans. 



The usual form in the Meinecke lot from locality 163* (pi. i, fig. 24) 

 measures: Length 20.2 mm., greater diameter 13.2 mm., spire height 

 10.5 mm. ; the embryonic whorls are not usual, being more pointed, 

 first embryonic whorl light vinaceous fawn, remaining embryonic 

 whorls white shading to pale pinkish buff ; first postembryonic whorl 

 white, lined with pinkish buff, remaining whorls white, 3 mm. behind 

 the edge of the lip a streak of verona brown, banded with warm 

 sepia; impressed sutural band pinkish buff shading to white on the 

 last whorl. A peculiar pattern (pi. 5, fig. 6) has the embryonic whorls 

 white, first embryonic whorl slightly darker than the rest ; postembry- 

 onic whorls above the periphery ochraceous buff deepening to cinna- 

 mon on last half whorl, and fined on the last two whorls with white; 

 impressed sutural band cinnamon, at and below the periphery the 

 base is white, with a central line of cinnamon. 



A third color pattern (pi. 5, fig. 7) shown on the usual form of the 

 shell in the O. H. Emerson and J. S. Emerson lots has the postem-
