below ; ground colour brownish red, covered with an epidermis of a 

 mottled brown and white, the latter arranged on the central whorls 

 in fine zigzag markings, which are lost on the last whorl hi a uni- 

 form greyish umber. The inferior half of the last whorl (usually) 

 encircled by a broad white band. 



This is a very rare species, the numbers found scarcely furnishing 

 the materials for a description to fix or determine the permanent 

 characters.

Hab. Niu, Oahu. 



Shell elongately conic, polished, shining ; whorls 6, flatly convex ; 



suture slightly impressed ; aperture ovate ; columella short, tuber- 



culated ; lip simple, ribbed within ; colour rich chestnut-brown, with 



a broad white sutural fascia cutting the centre of the last whorl ; 



apex and columella white.

 Var. |3. Chestnut-coloured above, yellowish below, with two black 

 and one white band, with columella dark brown, of large size, mea- 

 suring fths by |ths of an inch. 



This last variety may upon farther examination prove to be a di- 

 stinct species. The locality of this last is Makika Valley, " Mauka 

 roa," or far back in the mountain range. An examination of the 

 respective animals will resolve the doubt.
