82 PARTULINA, MOLOKAI. 



P. polita differs from P. bella by its bulging last whorl, 

 which gives the sides of the spire a concave outline. In bella, 

 the general outlines of the spire are straight. The color- 

 patterns are also different. P. polita is never white and never 

 has white bands on the last whorl. It is also more distinctly 

 striated spirally, the striae visible though often weak on the 

 last whorl.

 vex, the last scarcely broader than the spire. Columella 

 having a small, short, white tubercle. Aperture oblique, in 

 versely auriform, pale violet; peristome simple, unexpanded,

Doctor Cooke collected this form in Kaluaaha and Mapu- 

 lehu. It is a further development of the ordinary banded 

 polita.
