MAMMAL SURVEY OF INDIA. 39 



Taphozotjs crassus, Blyth. 

 The pouch-hearing sheath-tailed Bat.

S 1018, 2 914 Sirsi, N. Kanara. 



S 1179. $ 1117, 1118 Gersoppa, N. Kanara. 



Temminck describes saccolaimus from Java ; a series from that country 

 in the British Museum collection tally closely with his description. The 

 present series exactly fit Blyth's description of crassiis from Mirzapore, 

 and differ constantly from true saccolaimus in having dark under parts, 

 and in their smaller size all round, I have therefore adopted Blyth's name 

 for the Indian form. Blyth quotes Elliot as authority for pulcher, which 

 being practically from the same country as the present series ought also to 

 have been crassus, but the limited description quoted in no way agrees. 

 Elliot himself records (Madr. Journ. L. & S. X. p. 99) that his description 

 was lost. For the present I accept it as a synonym of crassus. 



" An early flyer, observed frequently around Sirsi and Gersoppa (below 

 ghats), but I did not find its roosting place." — G. C. S. 



Pachyura, sp ? 



Shi'eios.

Mysore. 

 2 1344, 1348, 1350. Kardibetta Forest, N. W. Mysore. 



(See also Eeports Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5.) 



" Widely distributed, but nowhere very common in Kanara, usually 

 found near villages or huts." — G. C. S. 



Crocidura horsfieldi, Tomes. 

 Horsjield^ s Shreio. 



1866. Sorex Horsfieldi, Tomes. A. M. N. H. 2 XVII p. 23. 



1870. Crocidura retusa, Peters. M. B. Ak. Berl. p. 585. 



1888. Crocidura horsfieldi, Blanford. Mammalia No. 127. 

 2 559. . . . Dandeli, N. Kanara. 



Only one species of this Genus has hitherto been found in India proper, 

 viz., Croc, fuliginosa, but a second was known from Peradenia, Ceylon 

 (20u0'). It is most interesting to find this latter form in Kanara. The 

 type and other specimens in the National Collection are in alcohol.
