31. PEROPTERYX CANINA (Wied). 
LITTLE SAC-WINGED BAT. 
1878. Sacroplery.r canina Dobson, Cat. Chiropt. Brit. Mus., p. 373.

A short distance below the summit of the tirst foot hill which walls 
in the west bank of the ravine east of La Guaira, there runs a small 
shelf, and in the vertical rock which forms its back there are a few 
irregular cavities, not large enough to be designated as caves. The}^ 
are so shallow that the light enters freely, and thev do little more 
than afiord a shade from the glare outside. Here was found, on July 
9, a small colony of the present species, and twelve were taken. On 
the following day the spot was revisited, but only four were seen, of 
which two were captured. These two were females, one containing a 
foetus ready for exclusion, the other carrying a large young one cling- 
ing about her neck. When disturbed in one cavit}^ they tiitted to the 
adjoining one, returning to the original point when again disturbed, 
and so on. They take the same sprawling position as the preceding- 
species. In addition to being smaller, they are more reddish than 
P. IiapplerL The interfemoral membrane extends 19 mm. beyond 
the tip of the tail.
