gull gray spirally lined with l)cnzo brown, about the umbilicus a faint 

 band of cartridge buff; impressed sutural band on the first half 

 postembryonic whorl same as the ground color, on the remaining 

 whorls pecan brown lightening to cinnamon on the last whorl ; lip 

 and columella callus light vinaceous cinnamon. Length 18.2 mm., 

 greater diameter 12.3 mm., spire height 8.8 mm., number of whorls 6. 



Distribution, area?: Type locality Kalaikoa, Gulick. Also reported 

 from Ahonui, Gulick. The type locality was probably a restricted 

 locality somewhere between North and South Kaukonahua Streams. 



The color pattern of the holotype is an unusually dark gray pattern. 

 A more usual one in the Gulick lots (pi. 10, fig. 15) has cream-buff 

 embryonic whorls darkening to chamois on the last half embryonic 

 whorl ; postembryonic whorls pale vinaceous fawn axially streaked 

 with vinaceous drab and pale brownish drab, peripheral band and 

 base white, subperipheral band light brownish drab ; impressed sutural 

 band pinkish cinnamon lightening on the following whorls to pale 

 ochraceous buff. 



The darkest color pattern (pi. 10, fig. 15a) has the first two 

 embryonic whorls cartridge buff darkening to chamois on the last 

 embryonic whorl ; postembryonic whorls pale quaker drab axially 

 streaked with anthracene purple, on the last whorl about the periphery 

 a line of white, last fourth whorl pinkish buff axially streaked with 

 cinnamon drab, lip not formed. Another shell has a yellowish pink 

 hue (pi. 10, fig. 15&) ; postembryonic whorls up to the last whorl 

 vinaceous drab axially streaked with light pinkish cinnamon, last 

 whorl light pinkish cinnamon streaked with vinaceous drab, peripheral 

 band white ; impressed sutural band vinaceous cinnamon.

Plate to, Figure 16, 16a 



Achatinella apexfulva apicata (Newcomb) Pfeiffer, Pilsbry and Cooke, Man. 

 Conch., vol. 22, pp. 325, 326, pi. 60, figs. II, 13 (only), 1914. 



Area?: Ahonui, Gulick. 



This light pinkish variety looks like an intermediate race between 

 A. a. gulickii and A. a. lilacea, and is considered a variety of A. a. 

 gulickii because of the light band just below or at the edge of the 

 periphery of the last whorl. 



The usual form and color pattern (pi. 10, fig. 16) has the embryonic 

 whorls cartridge buff; first postembryonic whorl and a half vinaceous 

 fawn axially streaked with pale brownish drab, last whorl and a half 

 pale ecru drab axially streaked with white and faintly banded above
