MAMMAL SURVEY OF INDIA, BURMA AND CEYLON. 313 



a form which extends over the bulk of the Peninsula. The name of the sub- 

 species is not a happy one; it was given by me to a specimen taken in the 

 Surat Dangs, which now proves to be an aberrant specimen of this race of 

 ceylonicus, and consequently the name must stand for the subspecies. 



(9) MlNIOPTEBUS FULIGINOSUS, HodgS. 



Hodgson's Long-ioinged Bat. 

 (Synonymy in No. 15.) 

 S 16, $ 8, in al. 24, Robber's Cave, Mahableshwar, Satara. 

 {See also Reports Nos. 13 and 16.) 



In Report No. 13, Miss Ryley recorded this animal as schreibersi, but 

 latter specimens show that fuliginosus is a better name, for the other belongs 

 to the European form, which is almost certainly distinct. 



" There were numbers of these bats in a large cave and judging from the 

 noise they made, which could be heard some way off, I thought they were 

 Rousettus leschenaulti till I obtained a specimen. The cave they were in 

 was long and narrow with about a foot of water on the floor." — S.H.P. 



(10) Kerivoula picta. Pall. 



The Painted Bat. 



(Synonymy in No. 6.) 



(5*1, Ghatmatha, Satara. 



It is curious how seldom this animal has been taken by the Survey. It 

 is by no means rare, but apparently very solitary in its habits. 



(11) Taphozous lojstgimanus, Hardw. 



The Long-armed Sheath-tailed Bat, 



(Synonymy in No. 6.) 

 5 5, Khed, Ratnagiri. 



" This bat was found hanging on the wall of the courthouse at Khed, 

 about 10 ft. from the ground and just above the gateway in full view of all 

 the passers by." — S.H.P.

(IS) MuNGos SMiTHi, Gray. 



The Ruddy Mungoose. 



(Synonymy in No. 7.) 

 J 1, Helwak, Satara ; $ 2, Medha, Satara. 



(14) Fblis affinis. Gray. 



The Jungle Cat. 



(Synonymy in No. 1.) 

 S 1 (juv.) Helwak, Satara. 

 {See also Reports Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, 19 and 20.)
