When comparing some Pipistrelles collected by Mr. Crump with 

 the series in the National Collection, I found some specimens in 

 the latter which are easily separable from Fijnstrelkis mimus, of 

 which they are the northern representatives. I propose to give 

 tkeim the name : — 



PiPISTRELLUS MIMUS GLAUCILLUS, Subsp. n. 



The northern dwarf Pijnstrelle. 



A pipistrelle scarcely differing from mimus except in size and 

 -colour. 



Sizgs rather larger than minvus, but tail slightly shorter. Fur as 

 in uiinius. General colour above ' mouse grey ' (near ' bistre ' in 

 vni/JiHs), individual hairs grey, with whitish tips ; below, as in 

 mimus, the hairs are brownish black with long whitish tips ; 

 giving a silvery effect on the belly. The ears on the average 

 longer and the tail shorter than in mimus. 



Skull with the braincase rather shallower, otherwise quite as in 

 mimus.. * 



Bimensions. — Head and body 48; tail 28; forearm 29; ear 12. 



Habitat . — Mult an , Punj ab . 



Tj/pe.. — Adult male. B. M. No. 10*1-18*15. Original number 

 ;328. Taken on 18th July 1909 by Major H. N. Dunn. 

 R.A.M.C, and presented to the National Collection. 



Major Dunn took four specimens at Multan and one at Umbala. 

 They are very even in colouration, and, when mixed in a long 

 series of true mimus, may be picked out at a glance. They are 

 no doubt the northern representatives of mimus. 



I received lately for identification, froni^the Society, a specimen 

 of a Leggada from Lahore, presenting certain skull characters 

 which seemed to show that it held, to some extent, the position
