Kamorta Island, Nicobar Islands, February 12, 1901, by Dr. W. L. 
Abbott. 
Characters. — Externally much like Javan specimens of Pipistrellus 
abramiLS., but slightly smaller, the ears shorter and broader, and penis 
considerably shorter than tibia. Skull with broader rostrum and 
smaller audital bullae. Teeth as in P. ahramns., the inner upper incisor 
bifid. 
Ears. — The ear is moderately long; laid forward it extends about to 
nostril. Anterior border nearly straight from base to broadly rounded- 
off tip. Posterior border straight from just below tip to about middle, 
then strongly convex to notch isolating low but well-developed anti- 
tragus. Tragus short and broad, its greatest width nearly equal to 
length of anterior border. Posterior outline evenly convex except 
where interrupted by a small but very distinct lobe near base. Ante- 
rior border slightly concave. 
Feet. — The foot is smaller than in Pipistrellus ahramus. Calcar 
fading insensibly into uropatagium, but provided with a very distinct 
keel, considerably larger than that of P. ahramus. 
Memhranes. — The membranes are thin and delicate, but do not show 
an}^ peculiarities of importance. They are naked except close to body. 
Wing from base of outer toe. 
Penis. — The penis, though mu(;h larger than in Plpistrelhis 2>i^pis- 
trellus and P. JcmJiH., lacks the enormous development characteristic of 
P. ahramus. Its length equals iil)()ut two-thirds that of tibia. 
Color. — After several montlis iiumer.sion in alcohol the color is a
