ALLEN: MAMMALS OF THE WEST [NDIES. 225 



On the island of Porto Rico, to which this species is confined, 

 "the phyla represented by M. fuliginosa and M. inflata reaches its 

 extreme type in the latter race, the most apparent diagnostic char- 

 acter of which is the inflated rostrum." There is apparently no 

 appreciable difference in size.

 p. 326, pi. 6, fig. 1. 



In addition to its larger size, the Jamaican representative of the 

 macleayii group differs so markedly in other slight peculiarities that, 

 according to Rehn, no general comparison with the other races is 

 needed. He notes specimens from Phoenix Park (the type locality), 

 Oxford Cave, Kingston, and Lucea. 



Chilonycteris parnellii (Gray). 



Phyllodia parnellii Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1843, p. 50. 



According to Rehn, the only definite records for this Jamaican bat 

 are: — Sportsman's Hall, Oxford Cave, and Lucea. Osburn (1865, p. 

 68) gives an account of its habits in captivity.

This is the Cuban representative of the Jamaican C. parnellii but 

 differs "in the disposition of the lower premolars, the more depressed 

 rostrum, and the more robust form" (Rehn, 1904, p. 197). 



The lower second premolar is not so crowded as in parnellii, and is 

 visible from either labial or lingual aspect of the jaw. 



Miller (1904) records specimens obtained from a cave near Baracoa, 

 Cuba.

The Porto Rico Chilonycteris differs from that of Cuba, chiefly in 

 its smaller ears. As shown by Miller, the second lower premolar is
