an upper band of mikado brown and a lower band of chocolate, 

 peripheral band white, below the periphery white lined with mikado 

 brown, sayal brown, and two bands of bone brown, below which is a 

 band of sorghum brown ; lip and columella callus tilleul buff ; im- 

 pressed sutural band shades from fawn color on the first half post- 

 embryonic whorl to vinaceous bufif on the next whorl and a half, on 

 the last whorl white or tilleul bufif. Length 19.6 mm., greater di- 

 ameter 13.8 mm., spire height 10.5 mm., number of whorls 6. 



Distribution, area?: Kalaikoa, Gulick. Also reported from 

 Ahonui, Wahiawa, and Helemano by Gulick. These last three locali- 

 ties are probably erroneous. 



The typical A. a. tuherans pattern is not plentiful in the Gulick 

 collection. Out of 30 specimens in the Bishop Museum marked 

 A. tuherans by Gulick coming from Kalaikoa and Ahonui, only six 

 can be said to have a pattern closely simulating the pattern of the 

 holotype. Quite probably Gulick obtained the few specimens of 

 A. a. tuherans i'rova an entirely different place from the remainder of 

 his material and mixed them with shells from a different region. 

 Typical tuherans has not been located in recent years but the forms 

 collected today of A. a. tuherans are probably closer to typical A. a. 

 tuherans than most of Gulick's specimens, which undoubtedly belong 

 to a different colony and will be dealt with under A. a. tuherans var. i. 

 The type locality of the holotype probably was somewhere at a 

 low elevation in South Kaukonahua Stream.

Achatinella swiftii Newcomb, Pilsbry and Cooke, Man. Conch., vol. 22, p. 314, 

 pi. 58, figs. 9, ga (only), 1914. 



Area?: Kalaikoa, Gulick. This area was probably somewhere at 

 a low elevation in South Kaukonahua Stream. 



The form is probably a race occurring near A. a. flavida because 

 the ground color of so many specimens is yellow. The usual color 

 pattern (pi. 9, fig. 13) on 45 percent of the shells has the embryonic 

 whorls white ; first postembryonic whorls white faintly axially streaked 

 with pallid mouse gray, penultimate whorl white axially streaked and 

 spirally lined with light mouse gray, last whorl above the periphery 

 pale olive gray axially streaked and tinted with colonial buff and 

 spirally lined or banded and axially streaked with natal brown, 

 below the periphery the ground is colonial buff axially streaked and 

 lined with dark livid brown ; impressed sutural band vinaceous buff ;
