FRUIT-BATS. 261 



cavern long-tongued fruit-bat (Eonycteris spelcea) is a rather larger species, 

 distinguished by the absence of a claw on the index finger. It inhabits caves 

 in Burma, Java, and Cambodia. The only other species we shall mention is 

 Woodford's long-tongued fruit-bat (Nesonycteris woodfordi), from the Solomon 

 Islands, which is remarkable for its brilliant coloration, the body and hairy 

 portions of the limbs being of a bright orange, while the wing-membranes are 

 dark brown. Nothing seems to be known of the habits of this bat.
