MAMMALS FROM BURMA 915 
No general attempt has been made to adapt these names to 
English methods of spelling, as there is as yet no uniformity 
in this respect even in English official documents, maps, etc. 
I cannot close the introduction without expressing the great 
obligation I am under to the Marquis G. Doria, who, although 
he has withdrawn his name from the titular authorship, yet 
has expended a great amount of care and labour on the col- 
lection, has himself determined all the Chiroptera, the doubtful 
ones only being sent to London for comparison, and has helped 
me throughout with his personal assistance in many different 
ways. 
For the arrangement and revision of the localities, and for 
much help in other ways I have also to thank Dr. R. Gestro 
and Signor Fea himself, while in London Mr. Blanford’s exten- 
sive knowledge of Indian Mammals has often been freely drawn 
upon for my benefit.

This series presents an interesting proof of the specific iden- 
tity of the black and white or rather cream-coloured races of 
H. lar. Thus while specimens c and d, mother and child, are 
both black, and f and g both white, specimen @ is white and 
yet has a black young one. No better proof could be needed
