7. Rousettus minor. Dobs. 



1873, Cynonycteris minor, Dobson, J. A. S. B. xlii. pt. ii. p. 203, pi. xiv. 

 fio^. 9 (ear) (Java). 



I have not, as yet, seen the type of Cynonycteris minor. 

 In none of the characters given by Dobson is there anything 

 to prove that R. minor is ditFerent from the true R. amplexi- 

 caudatus (Dobson, it must be remembered, lumped the 

 continental R. Leschenaulti and the Indo-Malayan, insular 

 R. amplexicaudatus into one species, '' Cynonycteris amplexi- 

 caudata,'^ and when describing R. minor probably com- 

 pared it with R. Leschenaultiy not with the true R. amplexi- 

 caudatus), — save perhaps in one: the length of forearm is 

 stated to be only 71 mm., whereas I have never seen a fully 

 adult R. amplexicaudatus with the forearm less than 77 mm. 

 I prefer to leave open the question as to the validity of 

 R. minor, until I have had an opportunity of examining the 

 type.
