Berlin/ passed for many years unnoticed, the species being 

 constantly referred to as Pteropus Leachi or Pt. hottentoUus. 

 In 1852 Peters (' Reise nacli Mossambique ') confirmed 

 Lichtenstein's wrong identification of Pt. coUaris^ and from 

 about that year the names Leachi and hottentoUus gradually 

 went out of fashion, being replaced by collaris ; from about 

 1870 Leachi and hottentottus only appear in the lists of 

 synonyms of collaris,
