Peterson: Fossil Material Collected by Messrs. Link. 361 



Order CHIROPTERA. 



Family PHYLLOSTOMID^. 



Genus Macrotus Gray. 



5. Macrotus waterhousii minor (Gundlach). 



A single fairly well preserved skull, No, 3936, is placed here. The 

 size of the elevated parietal region, the narrow and cylindrical muzzle, 

 and the relatively large P- are features of this specimen, which show 

 agreement with this species of Macrotus which now inhabits the island. 



Genus Artibeus Leach. 

 6. Artibeus jamaicensis parvipes Rehn. 



Ten skulls, one pair of lower jaws, and a number of limb-bones 

 (C. M. Cat. Foss. Vert., Nos. 3922-3933) are referred to this species. 

 So far as the present material shows M- is constantly lacking. In 

 his "Catalogue of the Chiroptera" Dobson has shown that the pres- 

 ence or absence of the minute M" can scarcely be considered as having 

 even specific value. The skulls of the present collection are smaller 

 than those of average specimens of A. perspicillatus and are therefore 

 referred to the form named parvipes by Rehn, which is common in 

 Cuba and on the Isle of Pines.

 J. A. G.. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, Vol. LIV, p. 639.) 



Genus Brachyphylla Gray. 



7. Brachyphylla nana Miller. 



Six skulls (C. M. Cat. Foss. Vert., Nos. 3916-3921) were found in 

 the floor-deposits of this cave. When directly compared with the 

 types of B. nana by Mr. Anthony and the writer, these specimens 

 were seen to be identical, and without hesitation are referred to this 

 Cuban form.
