Nycticebus Bengalensis, Geoff. 



Cheiroptera. 



Pteropus, Briss. 



Molossus, GeofF. 



Rhinolophus, Geoff. 



Vespertilio, Geoff. 



Species of these genera are abundant in the Tarai ; but there are 

 few in the centrai region, and fewer still in the northem. One 

 species of Rhinolophus and three of Vespertilio harbour in out- 

 houses in the centrai region ; and one species of Pteropus, of a 

 smaller size and duller colour than the Pter. medius, Temm., of the 

 plains, appears in troops in the autumn to plunder the gardens of 

 the ripe pears.

Ictides alb'ifrons. Vai.,

 region. 



Paradoxurus, F. Cuv. Of this genus an undescribed species, co- 

 loured, especially in youth, hke Mustela favigula, Bodd., is found 

 in the centrai region. A second species, perhaps the Par. Bondar, 

 Gray, occurs in the Tarai. 



DiGITIGRADA. 



Viverra undulata, Gray, ? Common in the centrai region. 



Viverra Rasse, Horsf., 



Viverra Indica, Geoff., 

 are common in the Tarai.

 and darker duller grey colour, is found in the centrai region.
