LEPTACHATINA, GROUP A. 7 



vex, increasing regularly, the last tapering slowly to the base. 

 Aperture rather large, subovate, whitish within, hardly 

 oblique, perpendicular, ascending slightly in front. Colu- 

 mella very slightly twisted, with an oblique rather weak fold 

 and a slight thickening along its face. Outer lip very 

 slightly thickened within, regularly arcuate ; columellar mar- 

 gin slightly thickened, appressed, adnate. Length 10.5, diam. 

 4.8, length of aperture 4.2 mm. 



Kauai: Kapaa (Baldwin). 



A very distinct species, with no closely related species 

 from the island of Kauai. L. acuminata, Gould, may pos- 

 sibly prove to be a distant relative. It is, however, much 

 narrower in proportion to its length, with a narrower and 

 more elongate aperture.

1 ' The shell is sub fossil, oblong subcylindrical, solid, scarcely 

 rimate, longitudinally faintly striate; whorls 7, flatly con- 

 vex, narrowly margined at the suture; spire somewhat ob- 

 tuse; aperture oblong oval; columella obliquely truncate; 

 columellar fold obsolete. Length 9.0, diam. 3.5 mm." (Pse.)

The shells collected by Mr. Judd (PL 8, figs. 60, 61) agree 

 fairly well with Pease's description. One of his shells meas- 

 ures, length 9.0, diam. 3.8, length of aperture 3.7 mm. A 

 larger form of this species was found in the same locality. 

 It agrees in all its characters except size, a specimen meas- 

 uring: length 12.0, diam. 5.3, length of aperture 5.4 mm: 

 This species may be distantly related to L. l&vis Pse.
