Jerdon says the mouse-coloured variety is common in the Carnatic, but 
he has only seen the light fulvous race on the Nilgheries ; but Mr. Elliot 
procured both in the southern Mahratta country. <A dark variety of this 
bat was called Rhinolophus ater by Templeton, and &. atratus by 
Kellaart ; in other respects it is identical, only a little smaller.

The Ashy Horse-shoe Bat (Jerdon’s No. 28). 
Hapitat.—Punjab Salt range. 
DEscrIPTion.—Similar to the last, but larger, and I should think the
