and entirely covered with hair in the middle. Tibia covered with 

 hair for half the length above, naked below. Ears broad, narrowing 

 towards the tip, which is rounded. 



Skull. Sagittal and occipital crests present; orbits incompletely 

 surrounded with bone. First premolar deciduous; upper incisors 

 pointed, outer broader than inner, lower very small but filling space 

 between canines, the outer about twice the width of the inner. 

 Upper premolar, first and second upper molars, and second lower 

 premolar, with two antero-internal basal cusps, the anterior one quite 

 small. First lower premolar slightly larger than last lower molar, 

 and both with round crowns. Last upper molar triangular, with 

 one antero- external cusp. Length of skull from occiput to an- 

 terior end of nasal 3^6 inches. Length of upper molar series five- 

 eighths of an inch, lower molar series three-fourths of an inch. The 

 sagittal and occipital crests vary apparently among individuals, pos- 

 sibly on account of age, for while the type has low crests, the other 

 specimen possesses crests of considerable height.

Two specimens of this bat, both males, are in the possession of 

 this institution. Regarding them Prof. Steere writes: " The black 

 bats of Panay were found occupying a roost in some tall clumps of 

 spiny bamboos, among the rice fields and almost over some of the 

 native houses. They were thickly clustered in the tops of the bam- 

 boos, hundreds of them together. As we fired among them they rose 

 and flew about overhead, squealing as they flew, but soon settled 

 again. There seemed to be at least three species, inhabiting the 

 roost together, but each species in trees by itself. All the species of 

 Pteropus from Panay sent you, were from this roost." I can find no 

 description answering for this species, which seems nearest allied to 

 P. alecto, Tcmm.
