Thomas has recently advocated the separation in a distinct genus, 

 Leuconoe, of the species with abnormally large feet. (J. B. N. H. S.. 

 xxiii, p. 6C7, 1915). 



Miller in his " Mammals of Wes- 

 tern European "" 1912, placed 

 murinus as a sj'nonym of myotis, 

 and Thomas (I.e.) indicated blythii. 

 No. 211. onysfaeinus, Leisl. Tomes, aa the Indian representative 

 No. 212. muricola. Hodgs. oi myotis. Both Blanford and Tho- 

 mas regard dobsoni, Trouessart, (i.e., 

 murinoides, Dobs.j as merely an aberrant individual of blythi, and 1 

 therefore omit it. Similarly Thomas has indicated caliginosus, 

 Tomes, and siUgorensis, Tomes, as the representatives of mystacimis, 

 Leisler. I have described a species, jjeytoni, irom Kanara, and 

 Thomas one from Darjiling, under the name of sicarius. These 

 seven species may be arranged in a key as follows : —
