CTXOPTERUS BRACHtOTlS ANGULATUS. 618 



Colour. — The large majority of arluU individuals, from any 

 locality, are exactly similar in the colour of the fur to dark-colonred 

 individuals of C. s. spldnx (p. 601) ; a small percentage are brighter- 

 coloured, like tlie corresponding variety of C. s. spliin.r. White 

 ear-edgings well marked ; metacarpals and ])halanges, or at least 

 the latter, in adult individuals usually -svliitish or brownish white, 

 rather strongly contrasting with dark membranes. Adult males 

 usually differing from adult females by the deeper, more saturated, 

 colour of the sides of the neck and Haiiks. 



Measurements. On ])p. 6^4, 037, 640. 



Specimens examined. Forfy-six, viz., in addition to those cata- 

 logued below, one from Dejoo, N. Lakhirapur, Assam (in private 

 possession), six from Trong (Tarang), Lower Siam (U.S. National 

 Museum, 83572, '592, '503, 84391, '440, '441, paratypes of sub- 

 species), one from Jambu Luang, E. coast of Johore (U. S. N. M. 

 112o82), and two from N. Pagi Island, Mentawei Group (U.S. 

 N. M. 121582, '583, paratypes of 0. par/ensis). 



Ranffe. From Assam (North Lakhimpur), Upper Burma (Xindat), 

 and North Siam, south to Sumatra, Simalu (Pulo Babi ; no 

 specimens examined, but see measurements of three adults by 

 Miller, I. c, 1903), and Mentawei Islands (Sipora and N. Pagi), 

 east to Natuna Islands (Sirhassen). In Assam and North Siara 

 it extends into the area of C. s. sphinx:, in the Malay Peninsula 

 and Sumatra it occurs together with 0. b. hrncliyotis, with which it 

 probably occasionally interbreeds. In Nias this form is probably 

 replaced by the much larger C. major (see p. 629). 



Tupe in the U. S. National Museum (male, in alcohol, Trong, 

 Lower Siam, 83569). Of the paratypes measured by Miller {I. c. 

 p. 318) one is a C. b. brachijolis (83524, specimen examined). 

 Measurements of six paratypes (five skulls) : Skull, lambda to 

 gnathion 30-8-32, rostrum, orbit to nares 6'5-7, mandible 22'8- 

 24-7, c-m' (crowns) 10-2-11, forearm 66-5-71, ear from orifice 

 17-18 mm. 



Cynopterxis iiagensis, Miller; 1906. — Type locality, North Pagi 

 Island, Mentawei Group; type in the U.S. National Museum 

 (female, skin and skull, no. 121581). Two paratypes examined, 

 viz. (S imm. al. and $ ad. skin, with skulls of both (121582, '83) ; 

 further, two adult .specimens in collection from the neighbouring 

 island of Sipora. The four specimens are in every respect indis- 

 tinguishable from C. b. anr/ula(us. Measurements of paratype 

 121583 ( ^ ad.) and, in parentheses, the corresponding measure- 

 ments of the typo as given by Miller : Skull, greatest length 32-8 

 (:'>0-8), rostrum 7*8, mandible 24-5 (23), c-m\ crowns 10-8, forearm 

 69-5 (69-8) mm. ; ear from orifice of 2 ad., Sipora, 17 ram.
