 Vernacular name — Gabbilum (Telegu) for all bats. 



"Plentiful in Pattabhirama Swami Temple, but on being shot at on 

 several occasions the colony entirely deserted. I have noticed elsewhere 

 that H. diadema, and its closely allied forms, are frequently highflyers, and, 

 unlike other leaf-nosed bats, may frequently be seen, in the early evenings, 

 hawking high up in the air, in company with Pipistrellus and other early 

 high flyers."— G. C. S.

 Vijayanagar, Bellary. 



{See also Reports Nos. 5 and 6.) 

 " Around Vijayanagar this bat occurs in enormous numbers, being 

 probably more plentiful than all of the other species put together. Im- 

 mense colonies roost in many of the ruins and in numerous crevices among 

 the hills. They are low flyers. The hedges in the district are chiefly com- 

 posed of milk bush and prickly-pear which are not very high, and in the 

 quite early evenings these bats fly backwards and forwards along these 

 hedges in a most peculiar manner, following each other in endless proces- 

 sions at short intervals." — G. C. S.

*' A stray specimen was obtained in a recently excavated, semi-under- 

 ground temple, close to the " Palace buildings, " in company with a

 where in the neighbourhood." — G. 0. S.
