4 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. «2 



LIST OF MAMMALS COLLECTED 

 NESOPHONTES PARAMICRUS Miller 



Railroad cave. — Humerus, i. 



San Gabriel (owl deposit). — Mandibles, 3; humeri, 4; femora, 6; 

 innominate, i. 



It is impossible to determine whether or not the presence of the 

 humerus in the Railroad cave kitchenmidden indicates that Neso- 

 phontes was eaten by the Indians. In this cave such a bone might 

 as well have been dropped by an owl as by a man. 



NESOPHONTES HYPOMICRUS Miller 



San Gabriel (owl deposit). — Mandibles, 4; humerus, i ; femur, i ; 

 innominate, i. 



The remains of both species of Ncsophontes agree perfectly in size 

 and other characters with topotypes from St. Michel, Haiti. 



SOLENODON PARADOXUS Brandt 



Railroad cave. — Perfect right humerus, i. 



Naranjo Ahajo. — Mandible, i ; distal half of left humerus, i. 



Rio San Juan. — Mandible, i. 



Kilometer 2 site. — Distal half of humerus, i. 



These specimens do not differ in any way from the corresponding 

 parts of the living animal. Their presence in three widely separated 

 kitchenmiddens is sufficient indication that Solcnodon was customarily 

 eaten by the Indians. 



EPTESICUS HISPANIOLAE Miller 



MACROTUS WATERHOUSII WATERHOUSII Gray 



ARTIBEUS JAMAICENSIS JAMAICENSIS Leach 



A few remains of these common Dominican bats were found in 

 the owl deposit in San Gabriel cave. 



CANIS FAMILIARIS Linnaeus 



Kilometer 2 site. — Right mandible, immature, i ; both mandibles 

 of a very young individual, i pair; separate milk pm*, i ; adult m", 

 2 (not from same individual) ; adult canine, i ; adult incisor, i ; 

 auditory bulla, i ; vertebrae, 8; ribs, 2; fragments of pelvis, 4 (repre- 

 senting at least 2 individuals) ; tibia, proximal end, i ; tibia, distal end 

 (probably of another individual), i ; calcanea, 2 (opposites) ; astraga-
