1861.] MR. R. F. TOMES ON MAMMALS FROM JAMAICA. 65 



7. Macrotis waterhousii. Gray. 



The present species would appear to be common in Jamaica, if we 

 may judge from the number contained in the present collection as 

 compared with the other species. Some of these specimens, from 

 the uuossified condition of the joints of their fingers, are obviously 

 immature, and enable me to state that the older examples are of a 

 more decidedly rufous tint than the younger ones. 



8. Phyllonycteris poeyi, Gundlach, Monatsb. der Konigl. 

 Akad. der Wiss. zu Berlin, Dec. 1860, p. 817. 



This singular genus, lately characterized by Dr. Gundlach, has 

 much the general appearance of Brachyphylla, but is probably more 

 nearly allied to Monophyllus, although generically quite distinct. 

 Mr. Osburn's four specimens were collected at Harmony Hall, Tre- 

 lawny, in June 1859. 



9. Natalus stramineus. Gray. 



Nyctiellus lepidus, Gerv. 

 Spectrellum macrourum, Gerv. ? 



These specimens from Jamaica, obtained in Oxford Cave, Man- 

 chester, in February 1859, differ from those which I have previously 

 described from the continent of America, m being smaller and rather 

 darker in colour. 



The Nyctiellus lepidus of Gervais is clearly the present species ; 

 . and I have but little doubt that his Spectrellum macrourum is iden- 

 tical with the larger American specimens. 



10. MoRMOops BLAiNviLLii, Lcach. 



Examples are labelled " Freeman's Hall " and " Sportsman's 

 Cave." 



Specimens of this species which I have seen from South America 

 are larger than those from Jamaica, and usually deeper in colour. 

 Some of those in the present collection have the under parts of a 

 pale rusty-red colour. 



11. ChILONYCTERIS aXJADRIDENS, Guudl. 



Lobostoma quadridens, Gundl. Wiegm. Archiv, 1840, p. 358. 

 Chilonycteris grisea*, Gosse, Nat. Soj. in Jamaica, p. 326, 1851. 



Five ex. from Oxford Cave. 



Mr. Gosse describes and figures his C. grisea as having "four 

 points " in the prominent upper margin of the nose-disk ; and it was 

 this peculiarity which induced Dr. Gundlach to bestow the above 

 specific name of quadridens on a specimen from Cuba. The dimen- 

 sions also of the species described by these two gentlemen being so 

 nearly similar, leaves no reasonable doubt of their identity. 



* Chilonycteris macleayi luxA C.fuliginosa are closely allied to this species, if 

 not identical with it.
