 Tanjono- Pamuja, Banka, ha.s been made the type of this species

 smaller and with very short tail and tibia. Forearm 46.5 nmi." 



No bat of this genus was collected b}' Doctor Abbott on Billiton.

 with the tj'pe of Jlijrposideros gahriius and other species of the gal- 

 eritus section of the genus. Dr. Andersen gives the following maxi- 

 mum and minimum measurements: 12 adult males: forearm, 50.3-
