The occurrence of this Bat — obtained hy Mr. Valentine Kuij.'ht iit 

 the Rest-house in the pass Ijetween Sereinhan and Jelehu — which is 

 apparently referable to C. {N.) niiMttr,^ from the lowlands of EaKt«Tn '-tyn* 

 Sumatra, rather than to C. {N.) harpax,- from the Seman<,'ko Pass on 

 the Selangor-Pahang boundary, has led me to tiring together »uch 

 material as is available of the sub-genus Niadimt.^ This was foimdetl 

 on a bat from the Island of Nias, West Sumatra, ))ut on a4'count of 

 the large size of the animal (length of head and bodv, 14^1 nun : of 

 skull, 38.2 mm.) the latter need not l»e considered here. 



The second form of the sub-genus, C. (N.) inut^ir, i-ame from the <^«kI 

 banks of the Siak River, East Sumatra ; and the third, C. (N.) harpar, 

 was descril^ed from an animal, one of a Itunch of five, sliot near tlie 

 Rest-house in the Semangko Pass at an altitude of 2,7<MI fet't : finally 

 there is the present adult female from Negri Sem)>ilan otttained at an 

 altitude intermediate between the former two. 



All the Semangko Pass animals were badly damaged )»y shot : <>ne 

 skull is fairly complete, two (including the ty|M') are fragmentary, 

 and those of the remaining animals were completely destroyed. The 

 latter, however, were inmiature males and the skins serve to show that 

 the pelage of such does not differ from that of the adult female. 



An adult male differs slightly from the tyjR', iM'ing in colour olivii- 

 ceous-brown above, darkest on the head, with the naj)«' slightly tinged 

 with ochraceous ; all the hairs with pale l>ases: sides of lurk ;ind the 

 throat brilliant ochraceous, renuiiuiug uuder-parts greyish-buff, the 

 median area greyer with an oldong tawny patch at the eentn* of th»' 

 abdomen. 



The female and young males aiv much darker and i,'reyer uK)Te 

 with the nape slightly paler ; the sides of ueek and the throHt are buflfy, 

 and the rest of the lower surface varies from brownish-gn'y to de»»p 



fawn. Lcn^ 



C. (N.) r^Uff from Negri Seml»ilan is olivnceous-brow n al>ove. 

 much darker and givyer on head and na|K» with no trare of eullar: 

 sides of neck and the throat dull ochraceous-yellow. nMunining under- 

 parts dull greyish-l»uff. much greyer and darker on the nu>dian Hn*a of 

 the abdo men.
