A. s. producta is a larger, more capacious form than A. 

 stewartii, the last whorl more rotund, and the suture usually 

 without a dark border. The typical form is dextral, of a 

 clear primrose-yellow tint (varying however in different in- 

 dividuals from colonial buff to green) , with the summit, aper- 

 ture and columellar fold white. The lip is a little thickened 

 within. Sometimes the periphery is indistinctly angular. 

 Size generally large. 



Length 27, diam. 14.2 mm.; 6% whorls (fig. 7). 



Length 25, diam. 13 mm.; 7 whorls (fig. 9). 



Length 21.5, diam. 12.3 mm.; 6 l / s whorls. 



In the head of Makiki valley the shells are usually dextral 

 (fig. 9), rarely sinistral; on the summit of Tantalus they are 

 all sinistral (figs. 7 to Sa southeastern rim of "bowl"). On 

 the Pauoa slope of Tantalus all are dextral. The size is 

 sometimes not greater than that of A. stewartii. The chief 

 color-patterns are:
