Field noteK. — Among the 142 bats captured in two evenings at the 

 mouth of the cave described in my account of Chilonycteris madeayii 

 were tive of this species. They were among the last to leave the cave 

 as none were taken while it was light enough to see the orilice. —

MACROTUS WATERHOUSII Gray. 



1843. Macrotu!^ vaterhoimi Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 21; Haiti. 



Eight specimens from the following localities: Guanajay, 3 (1 skin); 

 El Cobre, 2 (1 skin); Nueva Gerona, Isle of Pines, 3 (2 skins). 



In the absence of the material required for a revision of the West 

 Indian forms of Macrotus the Cuban species ma}- stand as M. loater- 

 Jiousii. The reasons for rejecting the generic name Otopterus have 

 been given by Dr. F. W. True in Harrison Allen's Monograph of the 

 Bats of North America (p. 33, March 14, 1894). 



Field notes.- — Two were driven out of a large cave, inhabited prin- 

 cipally by Artiheus^ on Guanajay Mountain, April 37, 1900, and 

 captured in a dip net. While in the net one of these gave birth to a 

 single young. 



On the Isle of Pines a large cave was visited on the mountain side 

 near Nueva Gerona, July 3, 1900. We were told that an abundance 

 of bats had often been seen there, but all our efforts could frighten 

 out only live, three of which were this species. 



The only ones seen in eastern Cuba were captured in an old runway 

 of a copper mine at El Cobre. They were with many individuals of 

 Artiheus, and in the dim light of our lamps it was difficult to detect 

 and capture the smaller species. — W. Palmer, 



MONOPHYLLUS CUBANUS Miller. 



1902. Monophyllus ciibanus Miller, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, p. 410. 

 Issued September 12, 1902; Baracoa, Cuba. 



Fifty -six specimens were taken at Baracoa. For measurements see 

 table, page 346. 



Field notes. — This bat was abundant in the damp cave described 

 under Chilonycteris macleayi. It was the second species to leave the 

 cave, and in numbers was probably about equal to the ChilonycteiHS. 

 It is a strong, muscular bat, and very hard to kill, especially when one 

 is in a great hurry, as we were during our visits to the cave. — W. 

 Palmer. 



PHYLLONYCTERIS POEYI Gundlach. 



1861. Phli/Uonycteris] poeyi Gvnd-lxch, Monatsber. k. Preuss. Akad. Wissensch. 

 Berlin, (1860), p. 817; Cafetal St. Antonio el Fundador, Cuba. 



Two hundred and twenty-six (74 skins) from a cave near Guanajay, 

 four skulls found in owl pellets at El Guama, and twenty-six sjjecimens 

 (7 skins) from Baracoa. For measurements see table, page 346.
