both Buliraella and Achatinella in the shady valleys, with Apex on 

 the comparatively sunny ridges; and in the third, several abundant 

 species of Apex, and but one species of Bulimella, and but one of Acha 

 tinella, both of these being extremely rare.

Explanation of Plate III. 

 The purpose of this plate is to illustrate the variations and inter- 

 grading forms of closely related species of the Achatinellida?. The 25 

 shells figured in this plate are found in the northwestern portion of the 

 island of Oahu, and are regarded as belonging to four species, of which 

 Bulimella ovata Nwc. is presented under ten variations, five being of 

 the dextral form (see figs. 6 to 10), and five of the sinistral form (see 

 figs. 11 to 15). Of these figure 10 is found in Hakepuu, and the rest 

 in Kahana. Figures 1 to 5 are of Bulimella bulimoides Swn., found in 

 Kawailoa; figures 16 to 20 are of Bulimella obliqua Gk., found in 

 Kahana ; figures 21 to 25 are of Bulimella rosea Swn., of which figures 

 21 to 24 are found in Wahiawa, and figure 25 is found in Helemano. 

 Intergrading forms are found between figure 5 of 'his plate and Buli- 

 mella glabra Nwc. ; between figure 8 of this plate and Bulimella oomor- 

 pha Gk. ; between figure 15 of this plate and Bulimella rotunda Gk.
