107556) collected this form on the Waiau-South Waimano Ridge 

 somewhere above area 35. The exact locality was not plotted, so is 

 not being used in this paper (figs. 4, 4a, p. 53). 



A. a. meadowsi is found in the Meinecke lots of A. a. turgida 

 from area 35, but only a few specimens in the different lots, and 

 some lots entirely lack this color form. Area 35 of ^. a. turgida is 

 probably a borderline area between A. a. meadowsi and a distinct pure 

 race oi A. a. turgida. The subspecies is named after E. J. Meadows, 

 of Honolulu. 



The elongate form (pi. 6, fig. 11) measures: Length 20.0 mm., 

 greater diameter 12.5 mm., spire height ii.o mm.; postembryonic 

 whorls yellow ochre lightly streaked, banded, and lined with ochra- 

 ceous tawny, last whorl banded at and below the periphery with 

 warm sepia, or black ; impressed sutural band warm sepia or black. 



The darkest color pattern (pi. 6, fig. 11 a) has the postembryonic 

 whorls carob brown banded on the last whorl and a half with a band 

 of yellow ochre which is lined and streaked with ochraceous tawny. 



An obese specimen (pi. 6, fig. 12) with the postembryonic whorls 

 yellow ochre and very faintly lined and banded with ochraceous 

 tawny, measures : Length 19.0 mm., greater diameter 14.0 mm., spire 

 height 9.3 mm.

In locality 213a (fig. 4, p. 53) two specimens are found which did 

 not have the usual glossy surface of typical A. a. meadowsi, but have 

 a very dull appearance. The postembryonic whorls (pi. 6, fig. 13) are 

 •pale pinkish buff spirally banded and lined with ochraceous tawny; 

 impressed sutural band warm sepia or black. 



Wilder (BBM 50537) obtained from somewhere in the Waimano 

 region a series of the shells all of which are dull forms. The color 

 pattern ranges from dark patterns such as plate 6, figure 14, to light 

 ones such as plate 6, figure 14a. The dark color pattern has the 

 postembryonic whorls chestnut streaked with antimony yellow, sub- 

 peripheral band light buff" with a central band of ochraceous tawny ; 

 impressed sutural band warm sepia. The light pattern (pi. 6, fig. 14a) 

 is colored on the first postembryonic whorl with pinkish buff; im- 

 pressed sutural band pinkish buff; banded in the umbilical region 

 with snuff brown. 



This dull form may be a variety of A. a. meadozvsi which occurs 

 on the Waimalu-South Waimano Ridge or somewhere between areas
