Stran 55 - Length n 1-2, diam. 6 1-2 mm. Animal when extended in motion as long as the shell. Mantle light brown. Foot above and below brown with spots of deeper shade on the sides. Tentacles and front above almost black. This is one of the smaller of the Amastra forms. It is about the size of Amastra petricolor Newc.
Stran 144 - Green. Stewart's Jour., London, 1828, p. 407. Shell dextral, oblong; about 3-4 of an inch in length, and 1-4 of an inch in diameter; whorls 7-8, slightly rounded ; sutures deeply impressed and creuulated; periostracha finely striated, and of a light dirty reddish-brown colour; body whorled with an obsolete carina; apex chestnut colour; columella plaited, as in A. stewartii; outer lip thin; inside pinkish, darker near the edge. Hab. Palolo near Nuuanu. This equals A. turritella Fe>.
Stran 174 - Lanai, and who has furnished many choice and beautiful shells of this genus before unknown to science. The size varies much in this species and the color is also various, running from pure white through various tints to a light mahogany. The lower part of the shell is not unfrequently white, and the upper portion bright chestnut or rose-colored.
Stran 34 - ... thickened within ; columella short, stout, slightly twisted, with a callus spread over and nearly closing the umbilicus; aperture oblong-ovate; colour of columella, lip and suture white, sometimes tinged with yellow ; shell white, with or without numerous transverse lines of a brown or black colour. Long. 19/20, lat. 10/20 poll. This species makes a near approach to A . mustelina of Mighels, but is more elongate in form, with the lineations much stronger, and never passes into the variety of...
Stran 38 - ... concavely conic; suture simple, well impressed; whorls 7, convex, the last large; columellar fold central, brown, lamelliform, nearly transverse; aperture oblique, sinuately lunate, pale pink within; shading to brown near the columella; peristome thin, acute; with external margin unreflected , arcuate; columellar margin dilated, adnate, or sometimes slightly detached; parietal margin wanting. Length 0.85 in. (21 3-5 mill.), breadth 0.52 in. (13 1-5 mill.). Length of body whorl 0.60 in. (15 1-2...
Stran 155 - Shell dextral, subcylindrical; whorls 7, rounded; suture rather deep; aperture small subovate ; columella with a small flexuous plait; lip acute; striae numerous, well developed and longitudinal through the shell; color uniform dark brown, usually lighter at the suture, interiorly of a bluish white or slate color; columella bluish white. Long. 14/20, lat. 7/20 poll. Hab. Under Mt. Kaala. This shell is intermediate between A. cylindrica and the more cylindrical forms of A. spirizona. — Newc.
Stran 179 - Boston, 1903, p. 34. Shell dextral, imperforate or subperforate, solid, ovately conical, apex subacute ; surface lustreless, striated with somewhat irregular lines of growth; embryonic whorls under a lens showing very delicate radiating sulcations; color varies from light to very dark brown, the upper whorls generally much darker than the body whorl; the lower whorls with traces of a deciduous, brown epidermis; whorls 6, somewhat convex, the last one with a light...
Stran 129 - ... orange-yellow callus; columella biplicate; the terminal plication a thin, oblique lamellar plait, the inner one less prominent, tortuous, of an orange-yellow color. Length 18, diam. 10 mm. Animal extended in motion as long as the shell. Mantle and foot above and below very light brown. Tentacle very dark slate, with a sprinkling of slate on the sides of the foot. Posterior portion of foot very tapering and thickly studded with minute red spots. A remarkably prolific species; 4 or 5 embryonic...
Stran 17 - Length 17.5, diam. 10.4, apert. 8.3 mm.; 6)4 whls. (Holotype) 16.8, " 9.2, " 7.9 " 6*/2 " 18.9, " 10.i, 4i 8.5 " 7 Hawaii: Waikii station in the land of Waikaloa about 6,000 feet elevation (Judd). Holotype and cotypes No. 41,965, paratypes No. 41,966, Bishop Museum. This species does not seem to be closely related to any of the other species from Hawaii. Its pointed apex and the striation of the embryonic whorls place it in the melanosis series. A. senilis is undoubtedly the closest relative of this...
Stran 125 - Whorls 6, the upper five slightly convex, the last very much inflated, forming the greater part of the shell; suture distinctly impressed. Aperture oblique, subrotund, very large, white within, distinctly showing the external peripheral band, peristome margined with light brown, rather thin, very slightly thickened within, expanded, basal and columellar margins narrowly reflected, extremities slightly convergent and united by a thin callus; columella light brown, very slightly developed, plain and...
