A description of this species has been pubhshed by Dr. W. 

 Peters of Berhn, in tlie number of the 'Annals and Magazine 

 of Natural History ' for March 18G3. As this description 

 did not appear until after these pages were in type, I have 

 had no oj)portunity of examining the specimen described, 

 and must therefore content myself with transcribing Dr. 

 Peters's remarks respecting it : — 



"The present species nearly approaches Pteropus mediiis 

 in size, and is very easily distinguished from all other species 

 by two humeral spots" of ochreous-yellow, " and also by the 

 golden-yellow colour of the abundant woolly hair on the ven- 

 tral side of the wing-membranes, which appears near the 

 lumbar region, on the humeral membrane, and near the fore 

 arm almost to its end."
