PHILIPPINE LAND MAMMALS— HOLLISTER.

The Guimards specimens differ from Bornean examples of E. monti- 

 cola in the smaller size of the skulls. The earliest name for the form 

 represented is alecto Eydoux and Gervais. The Giiimaras bats agree 

 very well with the original description of alecto, and the measurements 

 are much the same. The only discrepancy is that Eydoux and 

 Gervais placed their alecto in a subgeneric group (Nycticeus), one of 

 their characters for which is the presence of only two upper incisors. 

 Dobson places alecto in the synonymy of E. monticola, without com- 

 ment, and the name doubtless refers to the Philippine species we have 

 been calUng E. monticola. The measurements given by Dobson for 

 ■monticola, and apparently taken from his Luzon specimen, do not agree 

 with the measurements given by Eydoux and Gervais nor with the 

 measurements given by Peters, and refer to a much smaller bat. The 

 Emhallonura discolor of Peters is a synonym of E. alecto, as here 

 understood. The lengths of forearms in the ten Guimaras specimens 

 are 46.2 mm, 44.2, 45, 45.5, 45.9, 45, 47, 45.7, 42, 44.
