Order GLIRES (Rodents). 



Family MURID^. 



Genus Epimys Trouessart. 



2. Epimys alexandrinus (Is, Geoffroy). The Alexandrian Rat. 



Two specimens (C. M. Cat. Mammals, Nos. 2596 and 3401) are 

 referable to this form, which, spreading westward from Egypt to the 

 Iberian Peninsula, no doubt found its way to the Antilles through 

 Spanish shipping. 



3. Epimys decumanus (Pallas). The Norway Rat. 

 A specimen (C. M. Cat. Mamm., No. 3402) is apparently an imma- 

 ture individual of this species. The tail is relatively shorter than in 

 the Alexandrian Rat. 



Family OCTODONTID^ Waterhouse. 



Genus Capromys Desmarest. 

 4. Capromys pilorides relictus G. W. Allen. 



Of this subspecies of C. pilorides Say there are three adult females 

 (C. M. Cat. Mamm., Nos. 2404-2406) which were taken by the Links 

 on the banks of the Majagua River in October and November, 1912. 

 They were found on the mangrove bushes in the swampy places which 

 border the stream. 



5. Capromys prehensilis gundlachi Chapman. 



Of this form five adults and three young were returned to the 

 Museum by Mr. Link. (C. M. Cat. Mammals, Nos. 2125, ad. cf , 

 2126, ad. 9 , 2i27,ad. d^,2i28, juv. 9 , 2129, juv. cf, 2130,. ad. 9 , 2x31, 

 ad. cf, 2599, juv. 9). These creatures, like the other species, are 

 arboreal, but live in the upland forests on dry stations, and do not 

 appear to frequent the mangrove swamps. 



Order CHIROPTERA (Bats) . 



Family VESPERTILIONID^. 



Genus Eptesicus Rafinesque. 



6. Eptesicus fuscus cubensis Gray. 



Only one specimen of this species (C. M. Cat. Mamm., No. 2394)
