 in U. S. Nat. Mua.) 



Specimens. — Fifteen, including 12 in alcohol, as follows: 

 British East Africa : Naivasha Station (Loring) . 

 This subspecies is larger and darker than true pumilus of Eritrea 

 and Sudan, and has a longer forearm. One skin is a rich reddish 

 brown, quite different from the ordinary blackish specimens.

Specimens. — Twenty-five, from the following locahties: 

 British East Africa: Fort Hall, 8, including 4 in alcohol 

 (Loring); Mtoto Andei, 17, including 12 in alcohol (Heller). 



Three out of four skins from the Fort Hall series have the light- 

 colored wing membranes as described by Thomas of the type. One 

 specimen has dark blackish-brown wing membranes, but is in all other 

 respects exactly like the white-winged specimens. In the Mtoto 

 Andei series there is likewise a single specimen with dark wings.

 bique, Portuguese East Africa; retypes in Berlin Museum.) 



Specimens. — Seven, as follows: 



Zanzibar: Zanzibar, 7 in alcohol (Weddell, Salmin). 



There is gi'eat variation in the extent of the white on the undei- 

 parts in these seven specimens from Zanzibar. In one specimen the 

 white covers the entire underpai'ts except for a small broken band of 

 dark across the upper chest; in another it is restricted to the center 

 of the lower breast and the belly, like the figure in Petei-s's plate; 

 and there ai*e specimens between these two extremes of coloration. 

 It would seem that the extent or pattern of the white below is of 

 very little use in distinguishing foniis of these bats.
