354 Mr. W. E. de Winton on Mammals from 



tlie caie and trouble that was taken in making the collection. 

 Considering the nature of the operations, which kept the 

 column constantly on the move, the number of specimens 

 brought home is very creditable. 



Colonel GifFard has presented the whole of his collection of 

 small mammals to the British Museum, and Col. Nortlicott 

 has also added some of his larger trophies and a number of 

 birds to tlie National Collection.

This pretty leaf- winged bat has a wide distribution. Tlieie 

 are in the British Museum specimens from Angola, Zambesi 

 River^ and Uganda ; but in none of these localities is the 

 species found to be plentiful. 



* In this Journal for December 1S97, p. 624, I described a bat as 

 Hhiiwlojy/ii/s micaceus ; but on receipt of good specimens in spirit I at 

 once recognized in my species Hipposulcrm cyclops, Temm.
