Pteropus personafus, Temm. ; 182.5. — Original description based 

 on two specimens, obtained in Ternate by Reinwardt. Of these 

 only one skin (with skull) is now in the Leyden collection (mounted 

 male "'(," with skull marked "<Z ") ; it is possible, however, that 

 the other cotype is the skeleton marked " a." According to Jentink 

 (see his Catalogues) the mounted male " (? " (from (!erara, Kein- 

 wardt Coll.; with skull ".9") is a cotj'pe, but this is against 

 Temminck's statement that both of his specimens were obtained by 

 Keinwardt in Termite.

Species — Five species (eleven forms) : Ft. (/if/anfens (two sub- 

 species), arie], lijlei, intermedivs, vampi/rvs (six subspecies). 



Kamje. — The range of this group almost exactly covers the 

 Oriental Region, as defined by Wallace ; only in the south-east 

 (Lesser Sunda Islands) one species crosses " Wallace's line " and 

 extends to Timor. In India, Ceylon, the Maldire Archipelago, 

 Himalayas, northern and central Indo-C^lilna, and Java it is the 

 only group of the genus represeuted ; in southern Indo-China 

 and the whole of the Indo-Malayan Archipelago, except Java, 

 it occurs together with the western offshoots of the Ft. Jn/pomelanvs 

 group.
