ON OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE CHIROPTEEA, ETC. 187 



of the Rhine, and Mr. Oldfield Thomas has pointed out to me a specimen 

 in the British Museum, lately received from the Aru Islands. 



Vesperugo huhlii, Natt. 



Pipistrellits lepidus, Blyth (' Journ. Asiat. Soc. Beng.' xiv. p. 340), 

 and, probably, Scotophilus rusticus, Tomes (' P.Z.S.' 1861, p. 35), should be 

 added to the list of synomyms. According to the description of 8. rusticus, 

 it must come veiy close to this species, with which it agrees in dentition, 

 in the white margin to the wings behind, in size, &c., but this question 

 cannot be definitely settled without an inspection of the type, which both 

 Dr. Peters and the writer have in vain endeavoured to obtain from Mr. 

 R. F. Tomes. 



To the localities of this species add also Cadillac, Gironde (Lataste and 

 Trouessart) . 



Vesperugo temmincJcu, Czetzsch. 



Vesperugo senaarensis et Iti/poleucns Fitzing and Heugl. (' Sitzuugb. 

 Akad. Wein.' 1866) are again referred to by Heuglin [oj). cit. p. 32) ; 

 they appear to be identical with this species. 



Vesperngo georgianus, F. Cuv. 



Dr. Jentink having examined the types of Vespertilio erythrodactylus, 

 Temminck (which escaped my notice on both occasions of visiting the 

 Leyden Museum), has determined their identity with specimens of this 

 species. 



Ves2oerugo nanus, Ptrs. 



To localities add Kitui, Ukamba, and Ndi, Taita, East Africa (Hilde- 

 brandt and Peters). 



Vesperugo noctivagans, Leconte, 



Of this species, which has probably the highest northern i-ange among 

 the bats of North America (see ' Catal. Chiropt. B. M,' p. 239) I ob- 

 served specimens, easily distinguished by the peculiar colour of the fur, 

 in Mr. J. T. Bartram's collection, during my late visit to the island of 

 Bermuda. It has previously been recorded from Bermuda by Mr. J. 

 Matthew Jones.' 



Vesperugo dorice, Ptrs. 



In my description of this species (' Catal. Chiropt. B. M.' p. 240) at 

 end of line 22 from top of page the word ' inner ' has been accidentally 

 substituted for ' outer.' 



Scotophilus horbonicus, Geoff. 



To the synonyms of this species add Nycticejus flavigaster et murino- 

 flavus, Heuglin (' Verb. L. Carol. Akad.' 1861, pp. 14, 15, and 'Reise in 

 Nordost-Afrika,' 1877, pp. 32, 33), and to localities Sierra Leone and 

 Cape Coast Castle.

Specimens of this easily distinguished species were also found by me 

 in Mr. Bartram's collection at Bermuda, thus confirming Mr. J. Matthew
