upper incisors. It was originally described from a specimen sent to 

 W. S. MacLeay from the interior of Cuba, where it was found in a 

 hollow tree. Palmer and Riley failed to obtain it, however, in the 

 course of their recent work in that island. It is represented in Ja- 

 maica as well as in Cuba, and specimens from the two islands are 

 considered identical. The skull of a Jamaican example is figured by 

 Miller (1907, p. 253, fig. 43). Dobson (Report Brit. Assoc. Adv. 

 Sci., 1880, p. 195) also notes specimens from Jamaica in the Kingston 

 Museum. 



Mormopterus minutus (Miller). 



Nyctinomus minutus Miller, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 1899, 

 12, p. 173. 



The discovery of this bat at Trinidad, Cuba, where it was collected 

 in 1892 by Mr. Frank M. Chapman, is of very great interest. The 

 genus is elsewhere known in America from Central Peru only, where 

 it is represented by a slightly larger species, M. halinowskii Thomas. 

 In South Africa, Madagascar, and Mauritius, occur several forms; 

 and one, M. whitleyi Scharff, has recently been described from West 

 Africa (Benin). According to Mr. G. S. Miller, Jr., the two American 

 species agree in having but 2-2 instead of 3-3 lower incisors.

Promops glaucinus Miller, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1904, 27, p. 339. 



Although, as shown by Miller (1904, p. 339), this bat was described 

 from Cuba fifty years ago, it seems not to have been again noted until 

 1900, when a specimen was collected for the National Museum at 

 Pina del Rio, Cuba, by W. Palmer and J. H. Riley. Mr. Miller was 

 unable to distinguish the single example from the continental form; 

 and, as shown by the measurements, the two are certainly almost 

 identical.
