110 THE NAUTILUS. 
as typical, pl. 4, fig. 9, fig. 8, left, has the last whorl closely 
streaked with rood’s brown, cinnamon and pale pinkish buff, 
the former predominating, crossed by several darker, burnt 
umber, spiral bands and lines. A band below the suture white. 
This pattern fades on the penult whorl, leaving the upper part 
of the spire and the apex white. In some specimens the streaks 
are more or less diluted, pl. 4, fig. 7, to the point of disappear- 
ing, forming transitions to the following. The second main 
pattern, pl. 4, fig. 6, has a cartridge-buff ground, a sutural band 
and the spire white; streaks faint or wanting, but there are two 
dark bands, weakly interrupted, at periphery and on the base; 
sometimes a third below the subsutural white band. This is 
much the coloring of A. spaldingi. 
The columellar fold is rather thin and situated high. The 
aperture shows the banding vividly within. Outer lip quite 
thin. 
Fig. 9, right. Length 15, diam. 9.6, aperture 7.8 mm.; 5? 
whorls.

A. spaldingi is quite distinct from the light form of meineckei 
by its texture, dull surface, etc. A. thaanwmi stands nearer to 
lehuiensis and meineckei, the unstreaked pattern of the latter ap- 
proaching it; yet at present thaanwmi appears distinct by its 
coloration and rather solid, smooth shell. 
Mr. Meinecke’s account of the finding of these shells follows.
