Remarks. This form and also S. margarite and the mainland 
forms cumanicus, orinoci and superciliaris are doubtless allied to S. 
brasiliensis and S. minensis and quite probably some, if not all, will 
eventually be reduced to subspecific rank. 
Felis pardalis subsp. 
One specimen, a fine adult male from Orope, Zulia, Venezuela; 
collected by N. Dearborn. This differs from typical pardalis to some 
extent in color and quite markedly in cranial and dental characters. 
The form which it represents is possibly undescribed but the con- 
fused state of nomenclature caused by the large number of worse 
than useless names given by early authors to members of this group 
makes it impossible to identify specimens without extended studies 
and reference to material in museums in various parts of the world. 
‘lormoops megalophylla intermedia Miller. 
Eighty specimens, Curacao, Dutch West Indies; collected by 
N. Dearborn. 
Phodotes tumidirostris (Miller).

February 15, 1908, by N. Dearborn. 
Characters. Allied to Noctilio albiventer, but smaller throughout ; 
foot, tibia, and forearm shorter; skull and teeth decidedly smaller; 
braincase shorter and more nearly spherical, but with rather marked 
depression of the parietals on each side of and near the base of the 
well-developed sagittal crest; supraorbital crests more abruptly 
divergent; m' and m? separated by a slight space and with the com- 
missure less obvious between the hypocone and the commissure be- 
tween the protocone and the metacone, Ear laid forward, reaching 
slightly beyond muzzle; forearm with wings folded extending 4-6 
mm. beyond the muzzle; chin with various small plications, nowhere 
smooth; a lunate lappet below the central prominence of the lower 
lip and from the lower side of this an undulate cutaneous ridge extend- 
ing roughly parallel with each side of the lower lips; below this lappet 
two additional but smaller and scarcely differentiated median promi-
