IO Director's Annual Report. 
specimen of this species is in the collection of the Academy of 
Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and is without locality. 
‘“‘On Oahu the fossil pocket found by Mr. Thaanum has been 
mentioned. ‘The two most remarkable species are a large un- 
described species of Amastra and a species of /Andodonta of an 
entirely new type. The latter may be the representative of a 
new sub-genus. 
“Also from Oahu, Amastra antigua and Amastra vetusta 
were rediscovered. The original material was found by Dr. Lyons 
and described by Mr. Baldwin. Neither of these species was in 
the collection of the Museum until your Curator found them this 
year. Repeated search has been made to relocate the original 
beds, but so far unsuccessfully. The finding of both these spe- 
cies in new beds is interesting. 
“On Molokai Mr. Hitchcock found the base of what appeared 
to be an entirely new species of dmastra. ‘Three trips were taken 
in the hope of finding whole specimens, all of which were un- 
successful. In December Mr. G. P. Cooke sent to the Museum 
specimens which probably belong to this species, which is the 
largest species of land shell from any of our islands if we except 
Kauai; one specimen is nearly 40 mm. in length. 
‘“The monograph on the Hawalian Endodontide has received 
considerable attention during the year and a portion of the manu- 
script has been written. One hundred and four forms have been 
photographed by Mr. Baker, and about forty additional forms will 
be illustrated. More than one hundred species and varieties of 
this interesting family are in our collection which are distributed 
over several hundred catalogue numbers. Mr. Sykes, in 1gor, 
recognized only twenty-one species, and since then about ten have 
been added. Only nine species of this genus were collected by 
Mr. Perkins. The work of finishing this monograph will take con- 
siderable time, as hardly a month passes without the finding of 
some new and interesting variety or species.’’
