wide emargination beneath the tip, then convex and again emar- 
ginate opposite the base of the tragus; tragus obtusely pointed, 
inner margin straight, outer convex upwards; fur, above, dark 
brown with grayish tips; beneath, light grayish brown for two- 
thirds its length, the remaining portion ashy. Inner incisors long 
and bifid; outer incisors very short and acutely pointed, placed in 
front of the inner ones and lying on their outer sides. ;

VESPERUS ATRATUS. 
Nycticejus atratus, Blyth, Cat. Mamm. Mus. As. Soc. Beng. No. 96. 
The following is Blyth’s description of this species,—‘‘ Like 
(Vesp.) fuliginosa, Hodgson, J. A. S., IV, 700, (which Dr. Gray 
ranks as a Scotophilus), but with only one pair of upper incisors: 
Length of forearm 12 in.” 
I have examined the type specimens thus described ; their fore- 
arms correspond exactly with the measurement given, but Mr. 
Blyth has not been equally accurate in stating that they possess only 
one pair of upper incisors ; there are certainly two pairs of upper in- 
cisors, but the outer ones are, as in many other species of the sub- 
genus Vesperus, very small and might easily be overlooked; the 
inner incisors are remarkably long, but very unlike those which 
are so characteristic of the genus Wycticejus. The necessity, 
therefore, for changing the genus is apparent. The species is, 
however, still quite distinct from Se. fuliginosus, Hodgs, 
V. PACHYPUS. 
Vespertilio pachypus, Temk. Mono. Mamm. 
Vesperus pachypus, Wagner, Suppl. Schreber, 
Scotophilus fulvidus, Blyth, J. A. S. Beng., Vol. XXVIII, 293. 
I have compared the type specimens of Sc. fulvidus, Blyth, from 
Tenasserim with Temminck’s description of V. pachypus from Suma- 
tra and Java. The measurements agree in every respect with those 
of the latter species, and the colour of the fur, form of the 
feet, &c., equally correspond. I think it very probable Mr.
