brown ; lip and columella callus white with a faint tint of seashell pink. 

 Length 17.8 mm., greater diameter 12.5 mm., spire height 9.6 mm., 

 number of whorls 6^. 



Distribution, area ? : Wahiawa, Gulick. 



The spire may be more concave (pi. 11, fig. la), the embryonic 

 whorls more pointed, and the last whorl flattened and less rounded 

 at the edge of the periphery than the holotype; the color pattern is 

 similar to that of the holotype. A narrow specimen (pi. 11, fig. i) 

 and light color pattern measures: Length 17.1 mm., greater diameter 

 12.0 mm., spire height 9.4 mm.; first half postembryonic whorl pale 

 pinkish buff axially streaked with warm bufif, next whorl and a half 

 pale vinaceous fawn axially streaked with light drab, last whorl 

 seashell pink, axially streaked with vinaceous fawn and fawn color, 

 at the edge of the periphery and about the base a line of benzo brown, 

 in the umbilical region a patch of chamois. 



A dark color pattern (pi. 6, fig. lb) is figured, showing the dorsal 

 side of the shell, to exhibit the contrast between the white embryonic 

 whorls and the postembryonic whorls ; the last half of the first post- 

 embryonic whorl and the penultimate whorl light cinnamon drab, 

 finely axially streaked with dark vinaceous brown, first half of last 

 whorl drab axially streaked with dark vinaceous brown, last half whorl 

 almost solid dark 'vinaceous brown streaked with drab ; impressed 

 sutural band walnut brown. Length 16.5 mm., greater diameter 12.6 

 mm., spire height 9.1 mm.

A. a. gulickii is characterized by having a white or light peripheral 

 band and a grayish or gray-brown color pattern. The holotype (pi. 10, 

 fig. 14) has the embryonic whorls cartridge bufif; first half post- 

 embryonic whorl cinnamon buff darkening to cameo brown on the 

 last half of the whorl, penultimate whorl drab gray axially streaked 

 with benzo brown, last whorl pinkish buff above the peripheral band 

 of gull gray axially streaked with benzo brown and light drab, below 

 the periphery a band of benzo brown, below which is a band of pale
