LIST OF THE MAMMALS OBTAINED BY Dr. G. FRANCO GRILLO 



IN THE PROVINCE OF PARANA, BRAZIL 



BY OLDFIELD THOMAS 



I owe to the kindness of Dr. Gestro the opportunity of exami- 

 ning the numerous mammals collected by Dr. G. Franco Grillo 

 at Palmeira, in the Province of Parana, South Brazil. Although 

 there are no new species in the collection, several are rare and 

 interesting, and I have thought it advisable that a list should 

 be published of them to record their occurrence in that locality. 



Dr. Franco Grillo was especially fortunate in obtaining all 

 the three known blood-sucking bats, viz. the common Desmodus 

 rotundus, the very rare Diphylla ecaudata and the second known 

 example of Desmodus youngi, .lent. 



A duplicate set of the species lias been generously presented 

 by the Museo Civico to the British Museum. 



1. Histiotus velatus, Geoffr. 

 12 specimens. 



2. Vespertilio hilairei, Is. Geoffr. ('). 

 15 specimens. 



3. Vespertilio fuscus, P. de Beauv. 



3 specimens. 



I. Myotis nigricans, Wied. 



4 specimens. 



5. Myotis albescens, Geoffr. 

 26 specimens. 



(') Of Dobson ; whether of Geoffroy remains to be proved. The specimen men- 

 tioned as the type by Dobson cannot really be so, as its dimensions are markedly 

 ditferent from those given by Geoffroy.
