lined and banded with seal brown; lip and columella callus pale 

 brownish vinaceous. Length 18.4 mm,> greater diameter 12.2 mm., 

 spire height 9.0 mm. 



A dextral shell (pi. 7, fig. 19) has the postembryonic whorls 

 cartridge buff faintly tinted with lines and axial streaks of cream 

 buff, last whorl lined and banded with seal brown; lip and columella 

 callus vinaceous fawn. 



An obese sinistral shell (pi. 7, fig. 19a), length 19.3 mm., greater 

 diameter 13.4 mm., spire height 9.1 mm., shows a gray color pattern 

 which is similar to the gray color patterns (pi. 8, figs. 6a, 8) found in 

 areas 55 and 58, but not found in area 56 or other areas containing 

 varieties oi A. a. ewaensis. The embryonic whorls are white, banded 

 on the lower half with chamois ; postembryonic whorls white, banded 

 on the last whorl above and below the periphery with light gull gray, 

 and lined at the periphery on the last whorl and at the base of the 

 last whorl with carob brown. 



Four specimens in area 51 have a lined pattern (pi. 7, fig. 20) that 

 is similar to the typical A. a. ewaensis color pattern (pi. 2, fig. 15) 

 of area 56 ; embryonic whorls white, banded on the lower three-fourths 

 of the whorl with warm sepia on the first whorl and shading to 

 ochraceous tawny on the remaining embryonic whorls ; postembryonic 

 whorls white, first postembryonic whorl banded on the lower half 

 with warm buff, last whorl and a half lined with seal brown. This 

 shell also shows an elongate form. Length 20.1 mm., greater diameter 

 12.3 mm., spire height 10.7 mm.

 1,700 feet, Meinecke, 1929 (figs. 5, 50, p. 105). 



' The shells in area 53 differ from those of the other areas of 

 varieties of A. a. ewaensis by having yellow banded color patterns 

 (pi. 2, fig. 12; pi. 7, fig. 21). The usual form and color pattern of 

 the shell (pi. 2, fig. 12) has the first embryonic whorl white banded 

 on the lower fourth of the whorl with bone brown, remaining 

 embryonic whorls upper half white, lower half cinnamon buff; post- 

 embryonic whorls white spirally banded with cinnamon buff; lip 

 and columella callus white faintly tinted with light vinaceous fawn. 

 Length 17.1 mm., greater diameter 11.5 mm., spire height 9.0 mm. 



The color of the bands on the postembryonic whorls (pi. 7, fig. 21) 

 may be darker, being sudan brown, and the embryonic whorls may
