" Fairly common near the town of Palanpur and at Lunwa ; very few 

 observed at Deesa. Habitually flies high and is generally the first bat to 

 emerge. In the early evening it is fond of hunting beneath large trees. 

 The usual mode of progression is a slow flutter ; a favourite trick of these 

 small bats is to float on the breeze." — C. A. 0,

 fairly bright yellow on the underside ; has no nose-leaf ; tail extends to 

 the end of membrane. It is larger and yellower than S. ivroughtoni. 

 Weight about 1 oz. 



" In vast numbers everywhere. A favourite resort during the day is 

 between ceilings and roofs of houses. Comes out early and has a low, 

 rapid and direct flight, in action somewhat resembling a sandpiper. With 

 the wind it can move at a tremendous pace. At night, the females return 

 frequently to their haunts for the purpose of feeding their young, which 

 soon after birth are not carried by the parent during flight."— 0. A. C.
