 " Rhinopoma is very easily recognised on the wing, it comes out rather 

 early and is a high flj^er. Its flight, which is comparatively slow, is accom- 

 panied by a peculiar fluttering of the wings. On windy evenings they 

 appear to make headway against the wind with the greatest difficulty. 

 This is remarkable because the other Genera of the Fmballonuridm are 

 among the swiftest and strongest flying of all bats. This species is very 

 plentiful and generally distributed here, occurring, not only in many 

 Temples, but also in crevices and caves in the surrounding hills. When 

 roosting they sometimes hang from the roof, but they can creep over the 

 walls, crab fashion, like Taphozous, when disturbed. '' — G. C. S.
