Remarks. — Srabrifer foweri from the White Nile and Soudan seems to he 

 a pallid species, while the new species here described is dark-furred, with a much 

 less development of the dermal papillae that give an encrusted appearance to 

 those parts where they occur. The two appear not to differ in size. 



Tylonycteris pachypus (Temminck). 



Seven specimens in alcohol were recently presented by Mr. Thomas Barbour, 

 by whom they were collected at Sindauglaia, Java. The forearm measurement 

 of these bats averages 27 mm. (26.5-27.4). 



Scoteinus pallidus (Dobson). 



The collection contains a series of skins with skulls from the Koolloo Valley, 

 India. 



Pachyotus temrninckii (Hoesfield). 



Most recent writers have considered this Javan species identical with the Indian 

 P. kuhlii Leach. A series from Buiteiizorg, Java, collected by Mr. Thomas 

 Barbour, shows conclusively, however, that the iusular representative constitutes 

 a very distinct species. In alcohol the Javan specimens are darker ventrally than 

 kuhlii (apparently olivaceous instead of clear yellowish white) ; in addition, the 

 measurements are smaller throughout. The measurements of the Javan bats 

 follow.
