I have specimens from Amoy taken in August and September. 
It is not a common species. 
18. ‘‘ VespeRUGO moLossus, Temminck.” (Molossus Bat.) 
Dr. Peters has this species from Hongkong. 
“ VESPERUS SEROTINUS, Schreber.” (Evening Bat.) 
A very common species in summer evenings about the city of 
Peking. I do not number it, as I do not know of its occurrence in 
South China. 
19. ScoropHiLus puMILorpEs, Tomes, P. Z 8. 1857, p. 52. 
Brought from South China. 
20. “Scoropyitus HEATHU, Horsfield.’’ (Heath’s Bat.) 
About five inches in length, with snuff-brown upper and snuff- 
yellow underparts; very common in Canton in April and May, fly- 
ing about in large numbers over the Foreign Settlement. 
21. “ ScoropHitus TemMMINcKI, Horsfield.’ (Temminck’s 
Bat.) 
Smaller than the last, brown above, much paler below; occurred 
in numbers in company with the last, in the same place.

I procured a specimen of a Bat some years ago at Amoy which 
greatly resembled Temminck’s figure, though it could hardly be 
the same as that species, which is from Egypt. My specimen was 
sent to England, and, I believe, is now in the collection of Mr. R. 
Tomes. Somes notes will be found on its peculiarities in P. Z. S, 
1862, p.11. The animal I speak of was brought to me alive on 
the 25th Nov. 1859. It was an adult male, and measured from 
snout to root of tail 4°3 inches; tail 1°2; expanse 15°5; ears 1-1, 
protruding beyond snout; breadth across the ears 2. Its skin was
