This bat was referred to M. suilla by Dobson, but is 

 readily distinguished from that species by its greyer colour 

 and nearly naked interfemoral and hind limbs. 



Chalinolobus gouldi venatoris, subsp. n. 



Similar to the true G. gouldi of Tasmania in essential 

 characters, but size smaller, fur shorter (hairs of back under 

 5 mm. in length, as compared with over 6), ears rather larger, 

 and the colour darker, the posterior back less broadly washed 

 with rufous. Skull smaller throughout, the brain-case 

 noticeably lower. 



Dimensions of the type (the starred measurements taken 

 in the flesh by collector) : — 



Forearm 40 mm. 



*Head and body 54; *tail 42 ; lower leg and foot (c. u.) 

 25-5 ; *hind foot 8; *ear 11. 



Skull: greatest length 14; basi-siuual length 109 ; 

 brain-case, breadth 7"6, height from basion 5'8. 



J lab. Alexandria, Northern Territory of S. Australia. 



Type. Old female. B.M. no. 6. 3. 9. 4. Original number 

 125. Collected 25 May, 1905, by W. Stalker. Presented 

 by Sir W. Ingram and the lion. John Forrest. Six speci- 

 mens examined. 



This is the furthest north that C. gouldi has been found, 

 and the general reduction in size seems to demand a special 

 subspecific name. Examples from the southern part of the 

 Australian mainland are intermediate between this and the 

 typical Tasmanian gouldi. 



Kerivoula agnella, sp. n. 



Near K. hardwickei, but larger and with the brain-case 

 broader posteriorly. 



Structure of ears and tragus essentially as in hardwickei, 

 the tip of the former and the small projecting point at the 

 outer base of the latter rather less sharply defined. Fore- 

 arms not absolutely naked. Hind legs and feet, tail and the 

 whole of the interfemoral membrane well haired, a small 

 fringe at the hinder edge of the interfemoral. 



General colour above and below (in spirit) greyish brown, 

 rather more fulvous on the hind legs, tail, and interfemoral. 



Skull larger than that of K. hardwickei. Brain-case 

 broader at its broadest part, and also less narrowing posteriorly, 

 the mastoid width decidedly exceeding the greatest breadth 

 of the brain-case, which equals it in hardwickti.
