First upper premolar between the well-separated canine

 tail 17'5; ear from notch 22; nose-leaf 15x10; lower

Hah. Sandakan, Britisli N. Borneo. 



Presented and collected by Governor C. V. Creagh, C.M.G., 

 in whose honour I have ventured to name the species. 



This very interesting bat differs from all the ordinary 

 members of the genus both by the absence of the second 

 lower premolar and by the characters of its nose-leaf, in 

 which latter respect it shows a certain tendency towards the 

 unique and peculiar Rh. cocJophyllus, Peters. To the best of 

 my belief, no species as yet described resembles Rk. Greaghi 

 closely enough to need detailed comparison with it. 



Felis domestica, L. 



With the various remarkable Murines sent by Mr. White- 

 head from Luzon in 1895 there was a cat found living wild 

 at a considerable altitude in the mountains. As it was 

 possible that this was a domestic cat run wild, it was put 

 aside for further evidence on the subject. Now, again, 

 Mr. Everett sends from Mount Bonthain, S. Celebes, a cat 

 obtained at 6500 feet which precisely agrees in every respect 

 with Mr. Whitehead's Luzon animal. On comparing these 

 two mountain skins with two specimens obtained at Makassar 

 by Wallace, and considered ever since as F. domestica, I find 

 there is just the difference which might be expected to occur 

 between tame and feral individuals. Indeed, one of Wallace's 

 is almost precisely like Everett's, while the other is obviously 

 a domesticated specimen, and the comparison of the whole 

 series shows conclusively that the mountain-cats both of 

 Luzon and Celebes must be regarded as feral individuals of 

 the ordinary Malay domestic cat. The same conclusion is to 

 be drawn from the skulls, which agree very closely with 

 those of tiie domestic cat, while quite different from those of 

 Felis chaiis, to which, if a genuine wild species, the Luzon 

 and Celebes cat would by its colour be most nearly affined. 



Among the Muridas obtained by Messrs. C. and E. Hose 

 the following known species occur, most of them liaving been 

 previously unrepresented in the Museum collection : — Mus
