64:.— SCOTOPHILUS COROMANDELINUS. Blyth.~Q Coromandel Bat.') 

 India, &c. — Larger hairs with a minutely serrated outline, flattened ; scales 

 close, encircling, or only half encircling the shaft ; smaller hairs broadly 

 and deeply serrated ; scales dark towards the margin, irregular, opposite or 

 alternate, semi-ambient ; shaft transparent. In balsam the larger hairs are 

 transparent, the smaller are striated.- fPZ. 3, fig. ii.)

68.— SCOTOPHILUS LOBATUS. Grmj.—{' The Lobed Bat.') India— Both 

 kinds of hair very similar to those of Scotojihihis Coromandelinus ; scales of 

 the smaller hairs, but slightly coloured, closer together, and more regular 

 towards the apices of the hair ; in balsam the striation renders the scales 

 very distinct in the smaller hairs ; as in other species of this genus the 

 small hairs are evidently f^2Liien&A,—( Small hair pi. 3, fig. 45 ; large hair fig. 



46.) 



69.— SCOTOPHILUS Maderaspatanus. Gray — (' The Madras Bat.') 

 Madras.— Larger and smaller hairs of the same type as in the other species ; 

 opaque and dark- coloured ; serratures of the outline not so deep, and 

 the scales of the smaller hairs less spreading ; the opacity and darker 

 colour distinguish these hairs from others of the same genus ; very much 

 striated when viewed in balsam. — (Small hair pi. 3, fig. 47.^

 at the base, succeeded by yellowish grey, and rufous at the tips ; the gene- 

 ral tint of the under parts palish brown ; hair translucent, nearly smooth, 

 with a scarcely indented outline ; scales cylindrical, closely appressed, with 

 entire margins ; there is great variability in the dimensions of the hairs, 

 some being one third the diameter of others. — (Small hair, pi. 3, fig. 48.
