34 and 35. The dull race as can be noted above has a wider range of 

 color pattern than typical A. a. mcadowsi. 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA MEADOWSI var. 2 

 Plate i, Figure 43; Plate 5, Figures 23, 24 



Area 33 : Waimalu-South Central Waimano Ridge, locality 

 20oCa, elevation 1,200-1,350 feet, 1932; 200C, elevation 1,400 feet, 

 2 sinistrals 1933; 20iCa, elevation 1,250-1,400 feet, 10 sinistrals 

 1933; 201C, elevation 1,450 feet, 1933, all collected by Meinecke 

 (figs. 4, 4a, p. 53). This form also collected by J. S. Emerson (BBM 

 102229). 



From the dark brown meadowsi forms of area 34 the shells become 

 much lighter in shade the higher the locality. Area 33 is really an 

 intermediate one between the light color pattern of ^. a. zuaimaluensis 

 and A. a. meadowsi^ but is closest to meadowsi in color pattern. 



The usual color pattern (pi. i, fig. 43) has the embryonic whorls 

 light bufif lightening to pale pinkish bufif lined with white ; first post- 

 embryonic whorl pale pinkish buff lined with pinkish bufif, penultimate 

 whorl cream color, subsutural band light ochraceous bufif, last whorl 

 mustard yellow tinted with buckthorn brown; the impressed sutural 

 band on the first postembryonic whorl shades from mikado brown to 

 warm sepia, on the penultimate whorl the upper portion of the sutural 

 band is banded with warm sepia, the lower half is that of the ground 

 color, the width of the warm sepia band narrows continually so that 

 on the last whorl only a fringe of warm sepia exists on the upper 

 portion of the band ; lip vinaceous brown ; columella callus light 

 vinaceous fawn. 



The lightest color pattern (pi. 5, fig. 24) is pale pinkish cinnamon, 

 tinted on the last whorl with faint lines of warm bufif; impressed 

 sutural band russet lightening to avellaneous on the last whorl. A 

 pattern (pi. 5, fig. 23) that looks like a light form of A. a. meadowsi 

 also occurs; postembryonic whorls maize yellow spirally lined or 

 banded with a light shade of clay color or a yellowish shade of 

 ochraceous tawny.

To quote from Pilsbry and Cooke :

 encircled with numerous lines and bands of darker gray or olive brown. First
