42 NATURAL HISTORY. 
island of Java, called the Kalong Bat. Its wings expand 
to the extent of five feet. Its head is hke that of a fox, 
as you see in Fig. 23. This animal belongs to that divi- 
sion of bats which 
live principally on 
fruits. They live, 
like monkeys, in 
troops on trees.— 
The division is a 
small one com- 
pared with the in- 
sect-eating bats.— 
Their wings are by 
no means as extens- 
ive in proportion 
to the size of the 
body, and they 
therefore fly more slowly, not needing the swift flight of 
the other division, as they catch no. insects. As their eyes 
are large, they have not, probably, the sensitiveness in their 
wings which is so characteristic of the insect-eating bats.
