 211. Achatinella remyi Newcomb. 



A. remyi Newc. Am. Jour. Conch., ii, i856, p. 215, pi. xiii, fig. 13. 



. Shell accuminately elongate, striae numerous, well defined, 

 obliquely longitudinal; wdiorls 7, rounded, minutely margined 

 above or plain; suture rather deep; aperture subovate; columella 

 slightly callous, with a terminal lamellar plait ; color salmon, 

 painted with numerous zigzag black lines continuous from the 

 summit to the base of the shell; lip margined within with reddish- 

 purple, lyong. 14/20, lat. 6/20 poll. 



Remarks. This species is of great rarity, only a few speci- 

 mens having been collecfled. It is not so robust a shell as the pre- 

 ceding, with which it had affinities, as also with sangiiinea and 

 pida. The measurements from adult specimens give the following 

 results, viz : A. pida, 19/20X8 1-2/20 ; A. tetrao, 15/20X9/20; 

 A. sanguinea 18/20X8/20; A. reynyi, 14/20X6/20. — Newc.
