Achatinella fricki PFR,, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1855, p. 3, 

 pi. 30, f . 7, 7a, Tb ; Malak. Bl., 1855, p. 5 ; Monographia, iv, 

 521. Cf. SYKES, Fauna Hawaiiensis, Mollusea, p. 307, under 

 A. glabra. 



A. fricki has not been recognized by Honolulu concholo- 

 gists. Pfeiffer described and figured several varieties, Hh 

 first figure (see pi. 30, fig. 7), which may be taken for his 

 type, has been considered to be A. glabra Newc. by Mr. 

 Sykes. I have not been able to match it at all closely among 

 the glabra I have seen. It differs from pulcherrima by hav- 

 ing a white sutural band. This band I have never seen in a 

 dark pulcherrima, and I therefore give fricki temporary place 

 as a variety of glabra, following Mr. Sykes. 



Pfeiffer's color-form b and those following are probably 

 different subspecies. His second figure (reproduced in pi. 30, 

 fig. la) has been referred by Sykes to A. ovata Newc., I be- 

 lieve correctly, as it agrees fully with some of the old ovata 

 received from Newcomb. Pfeiffer's var. b (see pi. 30, fig. 7&) 

 is a sinistral shell, not exactly matched by any specimen I 

 have seen, and probably not the same as typical fricki. The 

 contiguous dark bands bordering a peripheral white band 

 show it to belong to the bulimoides group, and it is quite pos- 

 sible that this figure also is an ovata.
