MAMMALS OF NORTHERN COLOMBIA — HERSHKOVITZ 431 



M. A. Carriker, Jr. Sanborn's list included three species not pre- 

 viously recorded from northern Colombia. Subsequent publications 

 on bats by Sanborn added four more species to the known bat fauna 

 of the region, bringing the total of recorded species to 37. The bats 

 collected in northern Colombia by the author during his tenure of the 

 Walter Rathbone Bacon Traveling Scholarship consists of 33 species 

 represented by 491 specimens, of which 172 are preserved in alcohol. 

 Eight of the species are first records for the region. Bats have not 

 yet been recorded from the department of Atlantico and from the 

 Guajira, the northernmost part of Colombia. No doubt many 

 species now known only from the Antilles will be found in the Guajira 

 also. 



The foregoing enumerates the 45 species of bats presently known 

 from northern Colombia. In this paper only the specimens collected 

 by the author are listed. Northern Colombian localities of bats 

 recorded by other authors are given in the synonymies. 



NOTES ON MEASUREMENTS 



All measurements given in the text are in millimeters. Unless 

 otherwise indicated the measurements are those of specimens col- 

 lected by the author and preserved as dry skins with skulls separate. 

 External measurements (except of the wing) are of bats in the flesh 

 prior to skinning. Hind-foot measurements include claws; ear 

 measurements are from the notch. Forearm and other wing meas- 

 urements are from the dry skin. Measurements of specimens pre- 

 served in alcohol are given when the figures are greater or less than 

 the extremes of the corresponding measurements of the dry skin or 

 if they are the only ones available. Except where noted, measure- 

 ments of individual specimens are given in the same order in which 

 they are listed under the heading Specimens collected.
