Mammals from South Africa. 409 



For tlie identification of the above two species I am in- 

 debted to Dr. Kiiud Andersen, who is studying this very 

 (litVicult genus. 



It is interesting lo note that while the form which occurs 

 nt 'I'zaneen in eonsiih'rablo numbers iti the spring and summer 

 poasons (October) is the commoner South-east African form, 

 Ji. loahWergii, tiie two examples obtained in the winter 

 months (Juno and July) belonged to the northern form 

 K. aiiyulensis, which lias not hitherto been recorded from so 

 far soulh, 



Tlu' spicimens of K. atijolensis obtained at Tzaneen wore 

 feeding on bananas. The bats of this genus are evidently to 

 some extent migratory, as I am told that during the summer 

 months numbers of them (evidently E. roahlberyii) arrive at 

 Tzaneen, where tjjey feed largely on guavas. 



In June and July 1907 only a few Epomophori wore to 

 be seen, and the two examples obtained proved to be 

 E. artgolensi's, and not E. wahlbergii.
