NEW SPECIES OF CHIROPTERA 19 



4. Nyotinomus plicatus , Buchanan-Hamilton. 



The collection includes specimens of this widely distributed 

 species collected by D/ 0. Beccari at Ansus in the Island of 

 Jobi, Geelwink Bay, New Guinea, which is thus shown to 

 extend from the peninsula of India to New Guinea, and, if 

 Nyctinomiis hiviUalus be regarded as a variety only of this spe- 

 cies, we shall then have an example of the same species ex- 

 tending througli parts of three Zoological regions, a rare con- 

 dition in the geographical distribution of the Chiropterii.
