downwards on a cluster of the round fruit of the longan tree, (JVéphe- 
lium |Scytalia| longanum) [the ash phul of Bengal]. Now this tree 
is an evergreen, and all the year through some portion of its foliage is 
undergoing decay, the particular leaves being in such a stage partially 
orange and black; this bat can therefore at all seasons suspend from 
its branches and elude its enemies by its resemblance to the leaf of the 
tree.” This bat was named by Pallas Vespertilio pictus. Boddaert in 
1785 termed it Vesp. kerivoula, and Gray afterwards took the second 
specific name for that of the genus, leaving the first as it is, 
KERIVOULA PALLIDA, 
( Jerdon’s No. 54.) 
This is synonymous with Vesfertilio formosus, which see further on, 
it is the same as the Kerivowla formosa of Gray.
