Habitat and Type as above. Should any miHtaki' havf \n-iii mudy 

 in the allocation of siaiU to skiu, whidi the ch)se resenil^laiic*' ..f tin* 

 skin to ordinary Cynopterus suggests but which we liave no otii.-r 

 reason to suspect, the skull is to bo taken as the tvpt'. 



This most interesting species represents an iutennediuie link 

 between Cynopterus and Mr. Miller's genus Nuulius, possesHiug thn 

 extra-central molar cusps of the latter and the narrower and jx^Hter- 

 iorly-tapered teeth of the former. On this account, and also as «.• 

 find that true Cynopterus has occasionally a small extra cusp on /»,,• 

 we are not prepared to recognise Nladlus as more than a sub-genus t.f 

 Cynopterus even if it should not be altogether conil»ined with the 

 latter. 



With regard to the specific distinctness of C. harpax from (.'. mni'n- 

 with Avhich it agrees so closely in size, Dr. Lyon's statement that 

 minor has the square-shaped teeth of C. princei)s is so definite tliat iu 

 the case of such an accurate observer no doubt can exist as to the 

 dilt'erence between the two forms. 



[No doubt need be felt as to tlie allocation <>f iskiu \>> hkull in the 

 case of this specimen ; tliere are four more of the species in the Sehing"r 

 Museum collection, all shot in the same place aud on the same day a«. 

 the type described above. Unfortunately, tlie skulls of two are de- 

 stroyed, and the others much damaged ; but sufficient material remains 

 to corroborate the cranial and skin characters given by the authors. 

 It is unusual to meet with specimens of Cynnpti'rni* in deep jungle 

 or at such an altitude as the Senumgko Pass.— H. C. K. aud C. H. K.j

 Mr. Ridley was the first to discover this bat out of BonuM\ having 

 sent specimens from Singapore to the British Museum in 1h;>1. 



The teeth of Pt. lucasi are rather variable in size, some of the 

 specimens having much broader teeth than others. The same range 

 of variation in this respect occiu's both in Borueau aud Pouinsuhir 

 specimens. The teeth of the males are generally larger than thos<' of 

 tiie females, but there seem to be some exceptious to this rule.

 local in the Peninsula, being only known from the aln.ve IcK^htv in 

 Singapore an.l from the Batu Caves near Kuahi Lumpur, whorv it 

 is one of the rarer species.— H. C. K. and C. B. \\
