Two other flying-foxes occur in Siam ; P. li/lei which is con- 

 siderably smaller than P. vamjiyrus intermedius, and P. vmnj^yrus 

 malaccensis, which is markedly larger; the latter is only known locally 

 from the extremities of Peninsular and South Eastern Siam.

The discover}' of this bat is Siam is an occurrence of much 

 interest, for the genus and species have rested hitherto on two unicjue 

 females which were obtained by Dr. W. L. Abbott in an abandoned 

 bird's nest on the banks ot the Kateman River, Western Siiniiitra. in 

 September 1903. I am now able to describe the male, in-eviously 

 unknown, and of rather brighter colour than the female. 



Jian: Ijaid forward reach only to the upper incisor. Inner 

 margin markedly convex Outer margin straight for aljout 3 mm.
