band and white line at the suture. Fig. 12a, chocolate. The 

 lip is dark-edged, or in form fig. 12c has two spots at the ter-

 colony is mainly sinistral, but there are some dextral shells.

The shell is similar to decipiens but smoother, more glossy, 

 with only obsolete traces of sculpture. Color various: (a)

 white zone below the suture and a white line at periphery, 

 (c) Olive-ocher with a chestnut subsutural line or none, and a

Eastern ravines of Kaliuwaa, type loc., also central and 

 western ravines (Irwin Spalding). 



This new form has such a relation to decipiens as pulcher- 

 rima to byronii. The locality lies some distance northwest of 

 that of decipiens, in a district where the other Bulimellas dif- 

 fer from the Kahana forms. The 'Coloration is much like that 

 of typical decipiens. The white-banded form may be consid- 

 ered the typical pattern. The cotypes are in coll. A. N. S. P. 

 and Bishop Museum, collected by Mr. Spalding who has a 

 long series. It is also in the Thaanum, Thurston and some 

 other recently gathered collections.
