These belong evidently to the larger race. They were shot among the acacias where 

 they were flying about in broad daylight after they had been scared fr their hiding 

 place.

In one specimen a second lower premolar is visible in the tooth row and this may 

 belong to the race called by PETERS fuliginosa but as this specimen has been collected 

 among specimens not having this tooth visible it might be a variable characteristic. The 

 time for the parturition of this animal appears to be in October as SJOSTEDT found a 

 foetus in the uterus of a female the 1st of Oct., but at the end of the month ( 3l /io) a fe- 

 male carried her young at the breast. The tail of this young was shorter than the hind- 

 legs not to speak of the relative shortness of the fingers. 



These bats were rather numerous on Kilimandjaro. They were mostly found in 

 the underground passages in connection with the huts of the Wadshaggas, when 

 these passages had caved in here and there and thus given free access to the bats.

 The adhesive pads are well developed already in almost naked youngs. The youngs 

 of this species as well, seem to be born in October. A female caught the '" n 1905, had 

 three youngs each measuring nearly 3 cm.
