Achatinella. Harper Pease proposes for this genus a separate subfamily, 
which he calls IlelicterincBy distinguishing the following thirteen genera : —

Partulina (Pfr.), Laminella (Pfr.), Frickella (Pfr.), Perdicella (Pfr.), New-

and localities of some species are added j 222 species, from the Sandwich 
Islands, are admitted ; 888 have been described, whereof 166 are synonyms.
