]\Iuseum from Shangai. This name, though long overlooked, 

 is probably to be recognized for the Chinese race of fonnosus 

 which will stand as Myotis foniiosiis rufo-niger. His com- 

 parison with the type of Waterhouse's rnfo-pictus from "Phil- 

 ippines,"' proved the latter to be a much larger animal than 

 Hodgson's type of fonnosus; moreover, it was "quite an 

 immature individual, so that if full-grown it would probably 

 differ considerably in size from that species." It was, per- 

 haps, on account of its immaturity that Tomes could not detect 

 the th.ird minute premolar in either jaw. 



The forearm in three of the continental specimens noted 

 by Tomes, including the type of formosus, is i" lo'" or 46.5 

 mm., whereas in the adult from Palawan this dimension is 58 

 mm. Other measurements of this specimen (53 119, Univ. 

 Mich.j are: total length, 116 mm.; tail, 60; ear from meatus, 

 17; tibia, 27; foot, 12.5; metacarpal II, 53; metacarpal III, 

 54.5; IIP, 23; IIP, 16; metacarpal IV, 50; IVS 16.5; IV^ 

 12; metacarpal \', 51; \^, 15; V-, 9. The skull measures: 

 greatest length, 21; basal length, 18; palatal length, 11.5; 

 zygomatic width, 12.5; mastoid width. 10; outside m^, 8; 

 upper tooth row, 10; lower tooth row, 10. 



Indications are that the color of the pelage is much duller 

 in the Philippine than in the Nepalese bat. Dobson in his 

 Catalogue of Chiroptera in the British Museum also includes 

 under for>nosits a specimen from the island of Formosa. 



Pipistrellus imhricatus (Horsefield). — A single individual 

 from Palawan is provisionally referred to this species. 

 Although topotypes from Java are available for comparison, 

 the condition of the specimen does not warrant basing a more 

 exact determination upon it. Hollister includes the species in 

 his list of Philippine mammals, on the basis of Thomas's record 

 of it from Luzon.
