The sinistral variety may prove to be a distinct species.

 been explored. 



Newcombia carinella, n. sp. 



Shell dextral, very minutely perforated, solid, acuminately turrited,

 like carination at the periphery. Color white and brown, alternating 

 in irregular longitudinal undulations, upper whorls with regular 

 white and brown tessellations ; apex light brown. Whorls 6, slightly 

 convex ; suture lightly impressed ; the suture of second and third 

 whorls are margined by the continuation of the peripheral keel or cord.

 tome light-brown, acute, very lightly thickened within, columellar 

 margin reflexed over the small perforation. Columella very slightly 

 developed, plain and smooth.

Habitat, Nahiku, East Maui. 



Amastra montana, n. sp.

 dark fugacious epidermis. Whorls 6, the upper ones slightly convex, 

 the last one somewhat inflated, forming the larger part of the shell. 

 Aperture a little oblique, elongately oval, white within. Peristome 

 simple and thin. Columella terminating in a thin, arched, lamellar 

 plait.
