species. K. Andersen adopts the 



name (jiganteus, Briinnich, for the common Flying Fox of India,

hills above Nepal. Besides this he recognises the following forms 



as occurring or likely to occur within our area, m^:., hyijomelanvs, 



intern icdius, and melanot-as. These may be arranged in a key as 



follows : —
