An accoiuit of the Bats brought over by Cuming from the Philippine 

 Islands has been published by Waterhonse. (Aim. of Nat. Hist, xiii, p. 

 302.) In the ' Zoology of the Voy. of Erebus/ No. iv, J. E. Gray has 

 given the figures (without description) of Scotophilus Gouldii, mono, pumilus 

 and Grcyii, Nyctophilus Geqffroyii, and major, Mystaciua tuberculata and 

 Moloss'iis norfolcensis. 



IstiopJiom. Of the genus Phyllostoma, v. Tschudi has established two new 

 species from Peru, Ph. erythromos, and oporaphilum. 1. Ph. erythromos 

 (Tab. 1) : supra brimescens, subtus ex fusco cauescens, intra scapulas ct 

 auriculas pilis elougatis deusis ferrugineo rufis; prosthemate lauccolato. 2. 

 Ph. oparaphilum (Tab. 2) : supra ex fusco cauesceus, lateribus uropygioquc 

 obscurioribus ; subtus albido-canum. 



The genus Glossopliaya has been divided by the same naturalist, in his 

 ' Fauna Peruaua,' iuto two sub-geuera, Glossophaga, and Choeronycteris, 

 Licht. a. Glossophaga : " dentes iucisorcs superiores coutigui, medii majorcs ; 

 liugua apice utriuque fimbriata, longissima, exteusilis ; cauda distincta ; 

 patagium anale magnum vel imperfectum." Typus, G. amplexicaudata. 



b. Choeronycteris : deutes iucisores superiores parvuli, per paria dispositi, 

 lacuna intermedia distiucti, compressia hebetes, medii miuores; rostrum 

 tenue, valde productum ; lingua mollis, subglabra, haud fimbriata ; cauda 

 uulla. Of this genus two new species are characterized by Tschudi. 1. Ch. 

 peruana (Tab. 3, figs. 1-2) : " supra saturate fuliginoso-fusca, pilis basi 

 albidis apice fuscis ; subtus bruneo-canesceus, pilis basi cam's apice bruueis ; 

 prosthemate parvo, trigouo lanceolate ; alis uigris ; autibrachio loiigitudiuis 

 usquam ad dimidium piloso ; patagio interfemorali nullos uuguibus bruneo 

 flavescentibus." Habitat, at the Eastern declivities of the Peruvian Cor- 

 dillera. 2. Ch. mexicana (Tab. 3, fig. 3) : " supra bruneo-canescens, subtus 

 dilutior, alis fuscis ; prosthemate elongate triaugulari ; patagio interfemorali 

 lato, brevi, exciso ; unguibus nigris." From Mexico. The Reporter would 

 observe that according to his investigations G. ecaudata also belongs to this 

 sub-genus. 



Macrotm is a genus, or rather sub-genus of Ilhiiiopomes established by 

 J. E. Gray in ' Ann. of Nat. Hist.' xiii, p. 6S. It agrees most with the sub- 

 genus Macrophyllum, but is distinguished from this by the last caudal joint 

 projecting beyond the border of the large cruro-alary membrane. Another 

 distinction is afforded by the striking dimensions of the cars and their union
