ACHATINELLA FUSCOBASIS. 173 



(Z>) White, with upper, peripheral and (basal burnt sienna 

 or chestnut bands, the upper usually weaker or sometimes 

 wanting. 



(c) A unique color- form in Mr. Spalding's collection (no. 

 2027) has the penultimate whorl deep chestnut, last whorl 

 with two narrow dark bands (ii and iii). The ordinary 

 brown-banded and white forms occurred in the same colony, 

 which is about half a mile from the top of Konahuanui, in 

 the main and typical locality. 



The margin below the suture is invariably white, the sur- 

 face is very glossy, and spiral lines are scarcely visible even 

 on the early whorls ; lip white, or rarely with a faint brown 

 tint. It differs from t&niolata toy being sinistral, with the 

 outer border of the 'columellar lip decidedly less elevated. 



Length 19.3, diam. 11.4 mm.

 of the upper surface is mars^yellow, mars-orange or burnt- 

 sienna, usually excepting a sutural band or line of white. 

 Lip and aperture fleshy in various tints, the lip narrowly 

 thickened within. Columellar margin but slightly or not 

 raised ; parietal callus milky or transparent, very thin.
