(49) Pipistrellus nanus (Peters). 



Malvern, Natal. 



Series. 



This little bat often sleeps in the tubes formed by the 

 young convolute leaves of the banana. No doubt the adhesive 

 swelling at the base of the thumb enables it to cling to the 

 slippery cuticle of the leaf.

Wonderfontein Caves, Potchefstroom District, Transvaal. 



Series (April 1907). 



This species occurs in large numbers in the famous '' River 

 Cave" at Wonderfontein, where it forms dense clusters, 

 numbering hundreds of individuals, in the roof of the cave. 

 These bats come out rather late. On the wing they look like 

 a larger species, owing to tiie length of the wings. 



Tiie Tzaneen specimen, which was shot on the vving, was 

 one of two which were seen every evening just before dark, 

 hawking up and down a row of Eucalyptus trees, at a height 

 of about 40 feet.
