THE NAUTILUS. By 
on bunch grass about 18 inches high. Here we collected the 
following: 
Nesopupa boettgeri 5 spec. 
Pronesopupa acanthinula 5 spec. 
Tornatellides leptospira 16 spec. 
Tornatellides brunneus 9 spec. 
Ternatellides brunneus var. 3 spec. 
Philonesia baldwini var. 6 spec. 
Auriculella diaphana 20 spec. 
Leptachatina gummea 2 spec. 
At 11:30 we ate lunch and after half an hour’s rest we started 
out again; this time we worked down the first ravine east of the 
main West Keawaawa ridge. While on the backbone ridge we 
noticed some kukui trees (Aleurites moluccana) which looked 
very promising. On our way down the valley to these kukui 
trees we collected the following shells: 
Nesopupa plicifera 2 spec. 
Tornatellaria macromphala 3 spec. 
Tornatellaria newcombi 2 spec. 
Helicina rotelloidea 1 spec. 
Amastra eos 48 spec. 
Amastra tristis 31 spec. 
Leptachatina gummea 27 spec. 
Leptachatina fusca 12 spec. 
After spending about an hour collecting these we headed for 
the kukui trees. We found a few dead specimens of Achatinella 
pheozona under these trees, and, after a careful search we found 
twelve live specimens. Two were found on Lantana and the 
rest were found near the tops of the kukui trees. It was a sur- 
prise to us, for we were told that these shells were extinct in 
Keawaawa. On Lantana and oee weed we found thirty-two 
specimens of Achatinella viridans. Some of them were dark- 
brown in color and many of them had broad white and light- 
brown bands around the last whorl. 
This was a good find. The forest is dying away fast and in 
the course of time these shells will be extinct. About three 
years ago the writer and Antone Gouveia collected a few dead
