A LIST OF THE BATS OCCURRINd IN THE 

 PENINSULAR REGION WITH A KEY TO THE GENERA. 



By C. BODEN KLOSS. 

 OO far as I am aware I have enumerated in the following list all the 

 bats known to us at present from the Malay Peninsula and its 

 islands. Whilst, however, on the one hand, further investigation may 

 prove that two or three of the species included Avill have to be finally 

 omitted, continued collecting will undoubtedly result in further 

 additions to the fauna as we are now acquainted with it, for the 

 geographical distribution of several species occurring in surrounding 

 regions indicates that^they should eventually l)c recorded from the 

 Peninsula also, where a large extent of country, almost untouched, 

 may still preserve forms yet undiscovered. 



The keys given have been compiled with reference to Peninsular 

 genera only. There is at present nowhere in the East any collection 

 of Malayan bats sufficiently complete to work out upon it a key to the 

 species.
