154 ACHATINELLA BULIMOIDES. 



ony are shown in pi. 34, figs. 8, 8a, 8&, taken by Mr. Wilder. 

 One measures, length 22, dram. 13.6, aperture 11.3 mm. 



In a gulch west of Helemano Mr. Spalding found charming 

 pale green-yellow shells, with geranium-pink lip and faint 

 traces of two pink bands (pi. 34, fig. 4, no. 434 Spalding coll.). 



In the bottom of Kawaihalona the shells vary from flesh or 

 salmon color to vinaceous in several tints (pi. 34, figs. 3, 3a, 

 coll. by Irwin Spalding; fig. 3a being no. 2167 of his collec- 

 tion) . 



Achatinella rosea is one of the most exquisite of land shells. 

 While the light-colored form is not uncommon in collections, 

 the " green rosea/' the wine-colored and the dark forms are, 

 rare even in Honolulu. They are among the prize specimens 

 of the finest collections. I did not myself collect in the rosea 

 territory, which has been thoroughly " shelled " in the last 

 few years, but the generosity of Messrs. Irwin Spalding andi 

 W. D. Wilder has made it possible to illustrate the main var- 

 iations of this charming shell. 



9. A. BULIMOIDES Swainson. PI. 33, figs. 1 to Ij, 3 to 4. 



" Shell ovate-oblong, subventricose, whitish with chestnut 

 bands ; spire thickened, the tip pale brown. Larger than the 

 last [A. livida], and of nearly the same form, but the spire is 

 less thickened and more pointed at the apex. The ground- 

 color, in some specimens, is pale chestnut or ferruginous, 

 banded with darker shades and another of pure white. In 

 others the upper half of each whorl is whitish, and the lower 

 chestnut, marked by darker bands. The suture is scarcely if 

 at all margined by a groove. The aperture and pillar white ' ' 

 (Swainson).
