An immense roost of many thousands of these bats was among the mangroves near 

 the head of Klumpang Bay. The roost was on a small tidal creek a couple of hundred 

 yards from the shore of the bay. The mangroves were all small, not more than 18 to 

 25 feet high. There were probably at least 15,000 to 20,000 individuals. I fired four 

 shots into different trees and we picked up about thirty-five bats which were wounded 

 and clung to the branches. Those killed outright mostly fell into the water and were 

 lost, either sinking like stones or being swept away by the strong tidal current. Most 

 of the females had young ones with them. — W. L. A. 



PTEROPUS SPECIOSUS Andersen. 



1908. Pteropus speciosus Andersen, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, vol. 2, p. 364, 

 October, 1908. Type-locality, Malanipa Island, off Zamboanga, Philippine 

 Islands. 



Five skins and skulls, and three specimens preserved in alcohol 

 from Pulo Solombo Besar, and one skin and skull from Pulo Mata 

 Siri. 



Skins and skulls compared with type and paratype of species and found indis- 

 tinguishable. The color of the fur varies in the species of the hypomelanus group 

 within wider limits than generally in Pteropus. — Knud Andersen.

 leaf-nosed bats.
