 one often decorticated, more or less adorned with small olive 

 brown blotches ; aperture oblong-ovate, subvertical, more or less 

 rich saffron yellow within ; peristome very thick, strongly re- 

 flected, white or creamy white ; columella and parietal region

Length 41 mill., diam. 21 mill. 



Habitat, Vanna Levu Id.. Viti Isle?. (Coll. Garrett and 

 Philad. Acad.) 



We received about 200 examples of this species, which were 

 gathered in the interior of the island by the mountaineers. It 

 is an arboreal species.

 cate somewhat zigzag blotches of a darker olive green ; spire 

 short, convexiy conoid, obtuse, decorticated ; a little more than 

 a third the length of the shell ; Avhorls five and a half, rather 

 strongly convex, the last swollen; aperture ovate, subvertical, 

 bluish white within ; peristome thin, very slightly labiate, re-

Habitat, Vanna Levu Isl., Viti Isles. (Coll. Garrett and Phila. 

 Acad.) 



This species is confined to that part of Vanna Levu laying 

 north of Natawa Bay, and ranges the whole length of that part 

 of the island. It is less abundant than the other species, and 

 is mostly found on the trunks of trees. 



It differs from fulguratus in its thinner shell, shorter spire, 

 more arched and thinner outer lip, less produced base, smaller 

 blotches, and the localities are widely remote.

 verse wrinkles, tawny-red under a yellowish-horn colored epi- 

 dermis, which is adorned with longitudinal zigzag olive-green 

 streaks and blotches; spire very short, widely conical, obtuse,
