y2 Original Descriptions oj AchatineUa. 



white within ; peristome thickened within ; with external margin 

 slightly reflected anteriorly, arcnate, white, or brown ; colnmellar 

 margin reflected, detached, white ; parietal margin very thin. 



Length 0.80 in. (20 1-3 mill.), breadth 0.44 in. (11 1-5 mill.). 



Length of body whorl 0.55 in. (14 mill.). 



Average weight 7.00 grains. 



Remarks. Sinistral specimens are sometimes found which 

 resemble A. obliqua, but are readily distinguished by the darker 

 coloring around, and upon the lip. I have from Hauula a few 

 specimens which seem to belong to this species. Some of them 

 are nearly white. — Gk.
