" The fiuit-eating bats, vvlucli are not uncommon, especially 

 iti the well-wooded districts, are called by the natives 

 ' Muliraa' or 'Kamlima.'"

In size and genera), proportions similar to P. tetradactylus, 

 Peters, but differing from that form in having a more hairy 

 tail and in the absence of any buff-coloured tint on the under 

 surface. 



Probably these Katanga specimens are more closely allied 

 to the Nyasaland form, P. venustus, Thos,, than to the more 

 southern P. tetradactylus, though at present sufficient 

 material is not at hand to settle this point. 



" Called locally ' Kapata.' An animal which generally 

 frequents the thickets &c. on river-banks in the low country. 

 Consequently comparatively scarce in Katanga, which is 

 mostly high [tlateau."

This species appears to occur in Katanga side by side with 

 N. hrachyurus. It is, however, possible that the specimens 

 identihed as iV. hrachyurus from this region are only seasonal 

 forms of JS. hrachyrhynchus, as both the N. hrachyurus were 

 collected in July and the N. brachyrhynchus in February. 

 The skulls of the two species are so much alike that it is 

 impossible to decide this question till further specimens are 

 available for examination. 



" Generally occurs in hilly and somewhat open country, 

 illative name ' Kalolo.' "
