SOME KONKA N BA TS. 725 



The last family of the bats, the EMBALLONUEIDiE, is represented 

 with ns by one gemis nnd species only. 



Taphozous. 

 Taphozous longimanus, Hardwicke (No. 220). 



This species is most easily recognised by its gular sack and its long 

 fi-ee tail. It is a species which apparently varies very little, for my 

 specimens differ in no appreciable way from Blanford's description. 



It is very common and generally distributed, and I have met with in 

 everywhere in our area, but have never succeeded in finding a roosting 

 place. It is a strong flier, but moves steadily when hawking its food 

 and does not jerk about as do the Pipistrelles. It generally appeared 

 just before dark.
