It is with much diffidence that the above ‘lumping’ has been attempted. While 
not very difficult as a general rule to identify single specimens, I have been unable to 
divide the long series of specimens which, partly collected by Mr Perkins and partly by 
Mr Hutchison, have passed through my hands. Shape, colour, and form, seem to be 
as nothing, and one passes by infinitesimal graduations from one so-called species to 
another. True it is that the animals are said to differ in colour, but this alone is not, in 
my opinion, sufficient for a specific character ; even if it be so, it can, in general, only 
avail the field naturalist, and not the Museum student. 
The variety zeg/ecta Smith is not really so greenish as represented in the original 
figure ; fig. 23 on the same plate gives a better idea of the real colour. 
Férussac appears to have confounded more than one distinct form under his decora ; 
the name has therefore been here used for the species he first referred to.

I fancy this habitat must be wrong and that the species really belongs to Oahu; 
the shell is very close to A. hanleyana Pf., and may prove to be only a colour variety.

Achatinella (Bulimella) hanleyana Pfeiffer, P. Zool. Soc. London, 1855, p. 202. 
Related to the form of A. ovata described as A. xobzlis, and may prove to be an 
extreme variety. 
Has. Oahu.
