AMASTRA, MAUI. 303 



brownish-olivaceous epidermis. Whorls 6, a little convex, the 

 first three strongly radially sulcate; suture simple. Aper- 

 ture white; peristome thin, very slightly thickened within; 

 columellar fold thin. Length 14, diam. 8 mm. (Smith). 



East Maui: Kula, >on the ground (Gulick). 



Amastra malleata SMITH, P. Z. S., 1873, p. 85, pi. 10, f. 18. 



The type (pi. 45, figs. 5, 6) and another specimen, from 

 the Boston Society collection, are before us. It is very closely 

 related to A. affinis, and may prove to be connected with that 

 species, but the shell is quite noticeably broader and the last 

 whorl is more malleated than usual in affinis. The pattern 

 of the cuticle is the same as in " rustica ". The type meas- 

 ures, length 14, diam. 8, aperture 7 mm. 



A third shell of the original lot (pi. 45, figs. 7, 8) is more 

 inflated, the last whorl very densely malleate, and marked 

 with close pattern of f orwardly converging olive lines. Length 

 13, diam. 8.2, aperture 7 mm. Still another specimen with 

 the same markings is intermediate in shape between the pre- 

 ceding and the typical shells. 



99. A. CONIPERA Smith. PL 45, figs. 10 to 13. 



Shell ovate-conic, dextral, lightly striated with lines of 

 growth, very pale-reddish, partly covered with brownish- 

 olivaceous epidermis. Whorls G 1 /^, a little convex; the first 

 2% to 3 reddish, strongly radially sulcate, with a spiral 'cord 

 at the base. Suture simple. Aperture whitish; peristome 

 thin, blackish, slightly thickened; columellar fold thin. 

 Length 17, diam. 9 mm. (Smith). 



East Maui: Kula, on the ground under dead leaves (Gu- 

 lick) . 



Amastra conifera SMITH, P. Z. S., 1873, p. 85, pi. 10, f. 11. 



The type (pi. 45, figs. 10, 11) and four other specimens 

 of the original lot (figs. 12, 13) in the Gulick collection, Bos- 

 ton Society of Natural History, are before us, with others. 

 All are imperforate, thin, with the outlines of the spire either 

 straight, or a little contracted near the summit. The color 

 varies: (1) Very pale reddish, becoming lighter, more creamy 

 on the last whorl. (2) Spire rather dark reddish-brown,
