fig. 15) of area 56. Two specimens have a pattern resembling plate 8, 

 figure 6, except that the basal gray liand is lighter, and two resemble 

 plate 8, figures 7. ya. 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA EWAEN-SIS var. 7 

 Plate 2, Figure 19; Plate 8, Figures 8-10 



Area 58: Kipapa-Waikakalaua Ridge, locality 256, elevation 

 1,750-1,800 feet; 257, elevation 1,800-1,950 feet; 258, elevation 

 1,900-1,950 feet, 10 dextral, Meinecke, 1933 (figs. 5, 50, p. 105). 



Lined forms similar to those occurring in area 57 (pi. 8, fig. 7/;) 

 are rare or absent in area 58. In locality 256 the ground color of the 

 shell is white, tinted with yellow or gray ; above this locality the white 

 ground is not tinted with yellow. In the entire area the characteristic 

 color patterns have one dark basal band or line. 



The usual color pattern in area 58 (pi. 2, fig. 19) has the embryonic 

 whorls honey yellow, upper half or three-quarters white; post- 

 embryonic whorls white, tinted with pale gull gray above the periph- 

 ery, at the periphery a band of white, tinted with cartridge bulY, 

 below the peripheral band a band of seal brown, base cartridge bufit ; 

 impressed sutural band the ground color ; lip and columella callus pale 

 grayish vinaceous. Length 17.4 mm., greater diameter 12.0 mm., 

 .spire height 8.6 mm. 



A variation of the typical pattern (pi. 8, fig. 8) is a two-lined 

 pattern ; postembryonic whorls above the periphery white, tinted with 

 pale gull gray, last whorl below the periphery ivory yellow tinted with 

 colonial buff, lined at the edge of the periphery and below the periph- 

 ery by two lines of bone brown. The basal lines may be wider, be- 

 coming two basal bands. Another common pattern of this area is 

 the white color form of plate 8, figure 6, tinted with pale gull gray. 

 Usually the shells from area 58 have blunter embryonic whorls than 

 the shells from areas to the south. 



In the higher localities of 257 and 258 the same general plan of 

 banding and color pattern occurs. Plate 8, figure 9, shows a dextral 

 with a color pattern similar to tliat of plate 2, figure 11, except that 

 there are two subperipheral bands instead of five. In locality 258 

 two very much lined specimens are found. These are the only two 

 shells with a much banded or lined pattern in the entire area. One 

 of these (pi. 8, fig. 10) has the first postembryonic whorl and a half 

 white, banded on the lower half of the whorl with chamois, last 

 whorl and a half white banded and lined with chocolate. This locality 

 should be collected again to ascertain whether these two shells with
