B.M. no. 19.12. 22.2. Collected 9th September, 1917, and 
presented by J. D. La Touche, Esq. ‘Two specimens. 
This is by far the greatest north-eastward occurrence of 
the genus Tadarida, the nearest locality recorded being that 
of the TJ. tenzotzs obtained by Swinhoe at Amoy. Another 
specimen of the latter, captured at sea in the Formosa Channel, 
has also been presented to us by Mr. La Touche. 
This species, which I have much pleasure in naming after 
its discoverer, is readily distinguished from 7. teniotis by its 
smaller size, as gauged by its smaller skull and smaller teeth. 
The second species is a fruit-bat belonging to the genus 
Dyacopterus, hitherto only known from the type-specimen of 
D. spadiceus of Borneo. ‘The latter was a skin with broken 
ears, no palate-ridges, and imperfect skull, so that Mr. Brooks’s 
perfect specimen, preserved in spirit, is of special value. It 
proves to be of a species very closely allied to, but different 
from, D. spadiceus, and may be called 
Dyacopterus brookst, sp. n. 
Near D. spadiceus, but larger and more uniformly coloured. 
Size greater than in spadiceus, the skull being larger and 
bulkier in all dimensions, though the forearm is but little 
longer. Ears short, narrow, pointed, the anterior margin 
evenly convex, the posterior nearly straight. Neck-tufts not 
more developed in the male dbrooksi than it is in the female 
spadiceus, little darker than the yellowish fur surrounding it. . 
Edge of upper lips with prominent warts; pad at tip of lower
