The specimens in the Albany Museum., the original material 

 on which Gould based his species, bear the habitat Kauai. 

 Gould later, in Otia Conchologica, gave Maui as the habitat, 

 and the measurements in this description are smaller than 

 originally given. Both of these localities are incorrect. The 

 Lyropupae from Maui and from Kauai have been compared 

 with Gould's specimens and found to belong to different 

 species or subspecies. P. lyrata was doubtless from Oahu, 

 where typical examples have been taken in Nuuanu valley. 



Gould's type lot is heterogeneous. This accounts for his 

 expression "plerumque sinistrorsa" and for the discordant 

 measurements of his two descriptions. There is one specimen 

 of the widely spread Nesopupa newcombi in the lot, and two 

 of the dextral Lyropupa perlonga, a common Oahuan shell. 

 The larger one of these was probably the original of Gould's 

 left hand figure, which represents a dextral shell. His other
