Rt iiKirl-x. — Colonies of these large bats surrounded Lake Lanao, 

 Mindanao, which occupies a basin 2,000 feet above the sea at water 

 level of the lake, whence many of them regularly passed over our 

 camp at Pantar, 5 miles distant, on the Agus River, which drains Lake 

 Lanao. Several were shot and examined at Bacolod, on the northwest 

 shore of the lake; but these specimens were lost in transportation dur- 

 ing a military expedition. 1 do not remember that they varied from 

 the type.
