of the specimens catalogued during the year were collected by 
Messrs. Stokes and Forbes of the Museum staff. 
‘“‘Among the noteworthy specimens added to our collections 
this year are: 
‘““Succinea rubida Pease. This species has been found only 
twice since the time of Pease, as far as I know, and only three or 
four specimens have been taken. In June thirty-one specimens 
were found back of Wahiawa, Kauai, and the Museum has nowa 
fine series showing the different stages from rather young to the 
adult specimens. This species is quite rare in its natural habitat. 
The young appear, in the field, to belong to different species as 
the animals are light colored while those of adult specimens are of 
a dark slate. Many trips have been undertaken to Kauai in the 
Hopes of finding this species and the related Swuccinea explanata. 
The latter, as far as I know, has not been found since it was taken 
by the United States Exploring Expedition. 
‘Two new species related to Succinea, but undoubtedly con- 
stituting a new genus, were found on Kauai in fossil depcsits at 
Hanamaulu and Haena, Kauai. These are the only species of 
the Succineidze which are umbilicated. 
‘““A new species, which may belong to a genus new to these 
islands, was found on the coral bluffs near Koloa, Kauai. ‘This 
species is related to the Opeas, an imported genus, the species of 
which are common in all our gardens. Evidence from the more mod- 
ern of the so-called fossil beds shows that at least one of the species 
of Opeas was originally brought here by the early Hawaiians. 
“The finding of Leptachatina fossilis at Mana, Kauai, is also 
worthy of mention. The type and what was formerly the only
