adelphia, 1827, Part 2. p. 47. pi. 4. f. 1 to 4. 
Sab. Oahu, Sandwich Islands. 
This species, which I consider to be distinct from 
A. culp'ma, is described by Professor Green as inhabiting 
the deep valleys of Oahu, at all seasons, adhering to the 
under surface of the large leaves of a plant called Ti, from 
the roots of which the natives brew an intoxicating liquor. 
The favourite mode of preparing them for food, is to tie up 
large numbers in the Ti leaves and bake them with heated 
stones.

Achatinella prasincs. Achat, testa oblongo-conicd, 
sinistrorsa, anfractibus contexts, oblique subrude im-

April, 
tense dridi, lineis nigricantibus obscure dngulata, apice 
alba, columella alba.

There is a slight peculiarity of form, and a very distinct 
arrangement of colours in this species.

Sab. Sandwich Islands ; Itev. A. Bloxam. 
At the time Mr. Swainson described this species, he en- 
tertained a doubt of its being a variety of B. Bulimoides. 
It will be found to differ in form, and the colouring is 
materially different.
