mellar margin reflexed, adnate. Length 9.9, diam. 5.2, length 

 of ap. 4.0 mm. 



West Maui: Lahaina (Baldwin). 



This species is related to L. nitida Newc. It differs, how- 

 ever, in its longer, more slender and less ovate spire ; the upper 

 whorls are more attenuate; the apex more acute; and the 

 aperture is more diagonal, shorter and broader in proportion 

 to its length.

"Shell dextral, somewhat solid, imperf orate, subconic or 

 acutely ovate, scarcely striate, brownish corneous ; spire short, 

 subobtuse ; whorls 5, slightly convex, the last equal to one-half 

 of the length; aperture elliptical, angulate at both ends; 

 columellar fold small, callous, oblique, white ; lip thickened, 

 with margins united with a callus, columella adnate. Length 

 8.0, diam. 4.0 mm." (Pse.)

A shell before me, which I have referred to this species 

 (pi. 2, fig. 25) has the following measurements; length 8.2, 

 diam. 4.3, length of ap. 4.0 mm. It is slightly larger than 

 the measurements given by Pease and has 1% more whorls. 

 The species, if my determination is correct, is about midway 

 between L. nitida Newc., and L. lenta. 



Unfortunately the type of the species is unfigured and I 

 have been unable to find a single authentic specimen.

"Shell subfossil (if not altogether extinct), quite thick for 

 the genus, subopaque, shining, white, the last whorl generally
