 Between lines 11 and 12, add the following note: — 



Eousettus sjostedti, Lonnberg; 1908. — Tj'pe locality, Mkulurausi 

 caves, near Tonga, German East Africa, obtained during Professor 

 Yngve Sjcistedt's Kilimandjaro-Meru Expedition ; type in the Stock- 

 holm Museum. Described as " most nearly related to liousettus 

 angolensis," owing to the presence of only " three anterior com- 

 plete, and three posterior mesiaUy interrupted " palate-ridges, but 

 " in addition to these there is a rudiment of a fourth interrupted 

 fold on one side between the last and next last." — By the courtesy 

 of Prof. Dr. Einar Lonnberg the writer has had the type for 

 examination. It is an immature, probably nearly full-grown 

 female, forearm 85 mm. The number of palate-ridges in R. leachi 

 is normally 4-\-3-\-l, but, as pointed out elsewhere (anted, p. 27), 

 the fourth ridge is in some individuals interrupted in the middle, 

 producing the formula 8-^4-1-1 ; such is the case in the type of 

 E. sjosteclti, hut the sixth (the third divided) ridge, though complete 

 on the right side, is on the left not quite distinctly separated from 

 the fifth ridge. This is in fact the only peculiaritj' of the specimen ; 

 in every other respect (skull, dentition, external characters) it is 

 indistinguishable from Cape Town (type locality) and Knysna 

 specimens of It. leachi, and it has none of the special characters 

 of R. (Lissonycteris) angolensis. The typo was taken in a cave 

 swarming with E. leachi (nine of which were brought home by 

 Sjostedt's expedition, and by Lonnberg rightly identified with 

 E. leachi) ; and since the pages of the present Catalogue dealing 

 with E. leachi were printed off, the British Museum has received 

 from Dr. S. L. Hinde four perfectly normal specimens of E. leachi 

 from Shimoni, nr. Mombasa (9.6.12.1-2 and 5-6), and through the 

 Budd Exploration one from Mt. Elgon (10.4.1.8). The range of 

 the species is therefore now known to extend from the Cape Colony 

 northward to British East Africa (compare Ejiomophorus w. wahl- 

 heryi, p. 526).
