Artibeus toltecus raviis Miller. 

 2 specimens, both påle. 



Blariiia eqiiatoris Thomas. 



10 specimens from various localities viz. 



1 Pichincha, Northwestern side 10,000 feet, ^74 1913. 



2 o 11,500 feet, »amongst the roots of high grass» 



10/5 1912 and 1918. 

 2 » 12,000 feet, »found in a nest, taken alive» 



2^5 1918. 

 1 Found on road to Mindo. 

 1 Above Nono, 10,500 feet 175 1916. 

 1 Found on »road to Gualea» ^73 1914. 

 1 Mojanda, southern side 11,000 feet '/s 1913. 

 1 » , western » 13,000 » 175 1914. 

 The measurements agree with those of the original de- 

 scription^ but are partly smaller. 



Cliiroiiectes minimus Zimm. 



1 ? from »below Gualea, altitude 3,000 feet», ^^5 1917. 



The nasals of this specimen are rather broad, their 

 greatest breadth being 12 mm, while the length is 32,5 mm. ' 

 The interorbital width is also great as it amounts to 15 mm. 

 With regard to these dimensions the present specimen super- 

 cedes Ch. panamensis Goldman in breadth, and also the 

 typical form of the genus from Guiana which is said by 

 Thomas to have the nasals only 9,5 mm. The latter mea- 

 surement is, however, not the maximum for the Chironectes 

 from Brit. Guiana as this Museum possesses a skull of a not 

 very old specimen from that country with the breadth of 

 the nasals amounting to 11 mm, whereas the same dimen- 

 sion in another specimen from the same locality is similar 

 to Thomas' record. This proves a certain variability with 

 regard to the dimension of these bones. The nasals of the 

 specimen from Ecuador are, however, pointed behind in the
