correct in surmising that lania is a form " clwel]ing among the higher 

 mountains, possibly mainly to the north of the Himalayas." In view how- 

 ever of variation shown by our specimens from Kumaon and Sikkim in the 

 length and thickness of the pelage it would seem that lania can at most 

 rank as a sub-species of schistaceus. I may here record that the pure white 

 underparts of schistaceus seem in specimens taken below about 5,000 feet 

 altitude to become tinged with buff. 



''Vernacular names : Sahu Kaboo (Lepcha) ; Piopyaka (Bhotia). 



This Langur is fairly plentiful in the Lachen Valley from about 5,000 to 

 J.0,000 feet, apparently it does not go below Chuntang. I found it always 

 shy and wary, and confined entirely to the heavy forests. The bands as a 

 rule were rather small. I do not remember to have heard the call note on 

 any occasion, even when fired at the Langurs were silent. 



A few more observed at Sedonchen but no specimen was obtained. My 

 Shikari states that he saw a single Langur ( ? entellus, R. 0. W.) in the 

 Teraiat Sivok".— C.A.C. 



(4) Pteropus giganteus, Bruenn. 



The Common Flyinc/ Fox. 



(Synonymy in No. 2.) 

 S 1, Siliguri ; c? 7, $ 4, Jalpaiguri. 



{See also Reports Nos. 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19 and 22.) 



" At Jalpaiguri I found a large colony roosting among tall bamboos. 

 Though the surrounding plain is treeless there are numbers of large trees in 

 the town close by." — C. A. C. 



(5) Oynoptekus sphinx sphinx, Vahl. 



The Southern Short-nosed Fruit Bat. 

 (Synonymy in No. 6.) 

 1 juv. ; Singla. 

 (See also Reports Nos. 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19 and 20.) 



The specimen is too young for certain determination but I record it as 

 true sphinx basing on the locality where it was taken. The sub-species 

 gangeticus is only found much further west. 



(6) Rhinolophus peknigbr, Hodgs. 

 The Himalayan Horseshoe Bat, 



(Synonymy in No. 14.) 



1 (not sexed) ; Singla. 



The three species luctus, perniger and beddomei are closely related but the 

 present is the largest and the last mentioned is the smallest. Blanford's 

 English name will no longer serve and I propose to call them the Malayan, 

 Himalayan and S. Indian Horseshoe Bat respectively. 



(7) Rhinolophus tkagatus, Hodgs. 



Hodgson^ s Horseshoe Bat.
