11. Notes on Myxopoda aurita, Miln.-Edw. 

 By G. E. Dobson, M.A., M.B., &c. 



[Eeceived October 21, 1878.] 



Among the many valuable specimens lately added to the collection 

 of the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle at Paris, perhaps the most 

 remarkable is that of a very peculiar species of Bat from Madagascar, 

 described by M. Alphonse Milne- Edwards' under the appropriate 

 name of Myxopoda 2 aurita. 



During a short visit to Paris last month I was enabled, through 

 the kindness of M. Milne-Edwards, to examine the type of this most 

 interesting species, of which the following is a description.
