2. On some Bats collected by Mr. F. Day in Burma. 

 By Professor W. Peters, F.M.Z.S. 



[Keceived May 16, 1871.] 



Mr. Sclater has very kindly sent to me a small collection of Bats 

 from Burma, which, although consisting only of four species, con- 

 tains a very interesting new form of Rhinolophi. This is a new 

 proof how much is still to be done for a perfect knowledge of a very 

 interesting, and in the household of nature very important, division 

 of Mammalia, if only half as much care were taken to search for 

 them as for the collection of doubtless much more attractive birds. 



1. Cynonycteris amplexicaudata, Geoffrov. 

 Pteropus leschenaultii, Desmarest. 



2. Phyllorhina fulva, Gray. 



Hipposideros fulvus et murinus, Gray (1838) = Rhinolophus ful- 

 gens et murinus, Elliot (1838) = Phyllorhina aurita, Tomes (1859) 

 = 1 Hipposideros aruensis, Gray (1858). 



This very distinct species, first known from Madras and Ceylon, 

 has been found by Mr. Swinhoe in Amoy, is very likely identical 

 with Dr. Gray's H. aruensis, and has therefore probably the same 

 geographical distribution as Ph. diadema.
