I have not seen this species, my description being compiled from 

 Martens and Pfeiffer. Martens describes the animal : Head and 

 foot black ; tentacles short ; jaw with weak ribs. 



The greenish ground-color and lusterless surface separate this 

 form from others. It is similar to H. zonalis in the band arrange- 

 ment. The specimens from the island of Dodinga have the band- 

 formula 02(34)5, or rarely 0(234)5 ; those from Batjan 00045 ; from 

 March 02345 ; and from Kajoa 02340. The following forms have 

 received names : 



Form Bemsteinii Martens. Large, rather conical, isabelline- 

 yellow, with a white sutural zone, a moderately wide peripheral, 

 and a wide basal zone of blackish-brown. Alt. 19, diam. 31 mill. 



Form laticlavia Martens (pi. 46, figs. 62, 64, 68.) Moderate 

 sized ; depressed-conic, olivaceous, with a wide white sutural zone, 

 upper bands distinct ; suture descending in front into the space be- 

 tween the lowest and next upper band. Alt. 13-14, diam. 25 mill. 



Dodingo. 



Form angusticlavia Mart. (pi. 46, iig. 63.) Small ; quite conical 

 brownish-greenish* with a narrow whitish sutural zone, upper bands 

 obsolete or none ; suture descending in front, next to the lower band. 



Alt. 12-13, diam. 21 J mill. Batjan. 



Form pluricincta Mart. Small, depressed conical, pale greenish- 

 yellow, sutural white band rather wide, upper, peripheral and basal 

 bands equal, a little wide, intense chestnut. 



Alt. 12-13, diam. 20-22 mill. 



Var. LORQUINI Pfr. PI. 57, figs. 2, 3. 



Shell thinner than in loxotropis, spire lower, whorls flatter, and 

 peristome much more broadly expanded.
