Swarms In the caves of the Jordan valley and the Dead Sea basin, 

 and especially by the Callirrhoe (Zerka Main) on the east side. Like the 

 preceding species, this Bat is tropical, belonging to the Indian Peninsula 

 and Burma, out of which region it has only been found in Egypt, 

 Kordofan, and the Jordan valley. 



Both species are remarkable and peculiar, in having large deposits of 

 fat at the base of the tail, laid on before the period of hybernation.
