the lined pattern really belong to area 58 or whether they are present 

 owing to a mixture. Shells of this pattern are more usual in areas 

 74 or 57. 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA EWAENSIS var. 8 . 



Plate 2, Figure 22; Plate 8, Figures 11-120 



Area 59: Waikakalaua-South Kaukonahua Ridge, general 

 region of localities 261-262?, approximate elevation 1,450-1,529 feet, 

 1913; 262*, elevation 1,450-1,500 feet, Meinecke, 15 dextral, 4 

 sinistral, 1932, BBM 121945-121946. xA.lso collected by Wilder, BBM 

 50574, probably in the immediate vicinity of area 59 (figs. 5, 50, 

 p. 105). 



In area 59 the shells have the first embryonic whorl and a half 

 banded on the lower half of the whorl with brown similar to those 

 of areas 61 ? and 62 ?, and the remaining embryonic whorls are strongly 

 banded with yellow, resembling A. a. czvoensis (area 56). Some speci- 

 mens in area 59 (pi. 8, fig. 12) have embryonic whorls and a color 

 pattern very much like typical czmensis (pi. 2, fig. 15) except that 

 the bands are a lighter shade of reddish brown. The localities on this 

 ridge are not accurately plotted and should be carefully collected 

 again. Very probably area 59 can be divided into two areas, the 

 upper containing shells close to A. a. eivacnsis (pi. 2, fig. 22), the 

 lower one having a distinct race with color patterns similar to the 

 shells of plate 8, figures 11 and 120, which resemble A. a. tuberans 

 var. 2. 



The usual form of the shell (pi. 2, fig. 22) and common color 

 pattern has large, flattened, bicolored embryonic whorls; first em- 

 bryonic whorl white with the lower third of the whorl wood brown, 

 next whorl upper half white, lower band wood brown, last embryonic 

 whorl white, faintly tinted on the lower third of the first half of the 

 whorl with a cream-buff band ; postembryonic whorls white spirally 

 banded just above the periphery on the last two whorls with tawny 

 which shades to light grayish olive on the last half whorl, below the 

 periphery of the last whorl a single band of hay's maroon ; lip and 

 columella callus pale grayish vinaceous. Length 18. i mm., greater 

 diameter 12.8 mm., spire height 8.5 mm., number of whorls 5f. The 

 last whorl may have all manner of variations ; the subi^eripheral and 

 supraperipheral bands may be made of two smaller bands or lines, 

 or the band above the periphery may be hay's maroon as well as the 

 lower band. 



A gray color pattern (pi. 8, fig. 11) found on one or two specimens 

 in area 59, has the first embryonic whorl white, lower third natal 

 brown, remaining embryonic whorls banded on the lower third with
