licmarks. — Attention was called on pp. 472-473 to the remark- 

 able bright colours (" golden and tawny olive, with an indefinite 

 line of {>reeni.sli," hence the name viridis) of specimens from the 

 Key Islands, but the then available material did not seem quite 

 sufficient to warrant a splitting? of the sj)e(;ies into two races. The 

 additional specimens sent home by the Uritish Xew Guinea 

 Expedition removed the hesitation on this point. It should be 

 emphasized, however, that the colour difference between v. umhrosa 

 and V. viridis (and no other difference seems to exist) is decidedly 

 only one of average ; specimens of v. umhrosa do occur («. //. 

 ] 0.3.4.5, (S ad., Ceram) Avhich are indistinguishable from v. viridis.

Page 632. Xew nartie for Cynopterus horsfieldi minoi'. 



The name " minor " proposed for this form by Marcus W. Lyon 

 is preoccupied by the combination " Cynopterus {Cijnomjderis) 

 minor" used by Trouessart (Kev. & Mag. Zool. (3) vi. p. 206 ; 

 1878) for tho species otherwise knotvn as liousettus minor (see 

 antea, p. 43). That it has to be drojjped is so far not to be 

 regretted, as " minor " happens to be the larger of the two sub- 

 species of C. horsfieldi. The present subspecies may be renamed 

 Cynopterus horsfieldi hjoni. The type remains of course the same.
