66 TAPHOZOnS KAMPENH. 



I describe it, in honour of its Donor, under the name of 



Taphozous Kampenii^ n. sp. 



Some measurements (in mM.) of the type, an adult male 

 in spirits, compared with longimanus (Dobs. Cat.) from the 

 Indian Continent; leucopleurus (Dobs. Cat.) from Flores; 

 the adult female from Sintang in the Leyden Museum ; 

 Oldfield Thomas' type from Labuan, T. I. albipinnis^ be- 

 sides a specimen in the British Museum also from Borneo, 

 Sarawak. The measurements of the two latter specimens I 

 thankfully owe to the kindness of Mr. Knud Andersen.

As the material is very limited — 1 specimen from Ba- 

 tavia, 1 from Flores and 3 from Borneo — the above 

 given measurements are by no means decisive; it at 

 present cannot made out whether there is a single very 

 variable species, represented in different localities by distinct 

 forms, or if perhaps Borneo, Java, Flores a. s. o. are inha- 

 bited by sharply circumscribed distinct species ? It is very 

 likely that our Sintang-form is what Thomas described as 

 albipinnis and that the Batavia-specimen is in reality 

 different; the more as I observed in it some characteristics 

 different from those in our Sintang-specimen, which I 

 shortly will point out.
