The bat of this genus occurring in San Domingo has been recently 

 separated on the basis of material from San Cristobal. Probably 

 the relationships of this and the other described forms would be best 

 expressed by a trinomial designation. 



Erophylla bombifrons (Miller).

 1899, 13, p. 36. 



This island species is confined so far as known to Porto Rico. The 

 type and thirteen other specimens were taken in a limestone cave 

 near Bayamon, Province of San Juan. 



Erophylla planifrons (Miller).

This is a common species among the Bahamas. It was first de- 

 scribed from specimens collected in the limestone caves at Nassau, 

 New Providence. On Great Abaco it was found abundantly in the 

 sea caves at Hurricane Hole, in 1904; and a few were found at Marsh 

 Harbor (G. M. Allen, 1905, p. 70). Miller (1905, p. 382) further 

 records it from New Providence, Eleuthera, and Long Island, where 

 it was collected by J. H. Riley. 



NATALIDAE. 

 Natalus stramineus Gray. 



Natalus stramineus Gray, Mag. Zool. Bot., 1838, 2, p. 496. 



No type locality is assigned to this species, but it is probably the 

 mainland of South America. Miller (1902, p. 399) records a series 

 of eighteen specimens from Dominica, and contrasts these with the 

 race found in San Domingo. Its occurrence in some of the inter- 

 mediate islands is to be expected.
