allied species, by its more elongated form and bright 
yellow ground-colouring.

Hob. Sandwich Islands. 
This has all the appearance of an unspotted variety of 
the preceding species, but it will be found to differ in 
form upon a careful comparison. It does not agree with 
Perussac’s figure. Hist. Moll. pi. 155. f. 12. Helix ( Cock - 
logena ) luteola, representing an immature shell which I 
have not been able correctly to identify. 
Species 34. (Pig. 34 and 41 . Mus. Cuming.) 
Achatinella turritella. Achat, testa elongato-conicd, 
subpyramidali, anfractibus septem, planiconvexis, ob- 
lique rude striatis, ad suturas subcrenulatis, aperturd 
pared, columella biplicatd, appressd; intense castanea, 
fascia albidd infra suturas. 
The little turret Achatinella. Shell elongately

This species represents the most elongately turreted 
form of the genus.

A very characteristic richly painted species, quite dis- 
tinct from A. viridans.

trorsd, anfractibus rotundatis, tumidiusculis, columella
