XXXII. — Additional Remarks on the Classijication of the 

 Genera of Ciiiroptera. By G. E. Doi«ON, M.A., xM.B., 

 F.L.S., &c. 



Since my Conspectus of the Suborder.s, Families, and Genera 

 of Chiroptera was published in the ' Ann, & Mag. Nat. Hist.' 

 for Nov. 1875, the system of classification adopted by me has, 

 among other notices, been especially referred to in Mr. Wal- 

 lace's 'Geographical Distribution of Animals,' and in a review 

 of my ' Monograph of the Asiatic Chiroptera ' which appeared 

 in the la^t number of this journal. In both instances the 

 wi'iters appear to regard my new families Emhallonuridcc 

 and Nycteridw as equivalent to Noctilionida^ Gray, and Mega- 

 dermataj Peters, respectively. 



As it would necessarily follow, if these opinions were 

 accepted, that zoologists must consider the new names proposed 

 by me additions only to the already much overcrowded list 

 of synonyms, I think it very necessary to point out, to those 

 who may not have time or opportunity to compare my clas- 

 sification with those previously published, the differences which 

 exist between the natural families indicated by me under the 

 names Emhallonnridw and Nycteridce and those previously 

 kno^vn as Noctilionidce, Gray, and Megadermatay Peters, respec- 

 tively. 



In the Tabic below I have placed, for the purpose of com- 

 parison, the names of the genera composing the families Xyc- 

 teridfe and Emhallonnridiv in parallel columns with those con- 

 taining the genera of Megndermata^ Drachyura and Molossi, 

 Peters, and Xocdlionida', Gray.
