These two species have been united by Pease and Dr Hartman, the latter 
remarking ‘‘ The only example of gzgantea ever found is in the British Museum. It 
probably equals a large example of A. vzolacea, Newc.” Probably the locality of Maui, 
given by Newcomb, was an error, as his specimen appears to be only an elongate 
form of the Molokai shell. This varies very much in size and shape, as may be seen 
from the following :

Mr Baldwin has left A. gzgantea in his list as a Maui shell, but the fact that this 
diligent collector has marked it as a shell unknown to him, lends confirmation to the 
view that it does not really come from that island. 
Has. Molokai, Haleakala (Newcomb); Mapulehu to Halawa (Baldwin); Halawa 
and Pelekunu (Perkins).—? Maui as A. gigantea, Haleakala (Newcomb).
