Dr. Knud Andersen, who has studied this group, in the preparation of a 

 Catalogue of the Chiroptera, has pointed out to me that the name yiganteus 

 is nearly 50 years older than medius, and must be used for the common 

 Flying-Fox of the plains ; he is further of the opinion that the name 

 hucocephalus, Hodgs. (with its synonym assamensis, McClell.) must be 

 reserved for the Himalayan Flying-Fox. I have therefore omitted them 

 from the synonymy of yiganteus. The names yiganteus and viedius were 

 both based on specimens from Bengal. The Ceylon Flying-Fox apparently 

 differs in no way from that of the peninsula, and Tcelaarti is consequently 

 retained in my synonymy above. Blanford quotes edwardsi. Is. Geoffroy, 

 in his synonymy, but the use of this name by Is. Geoffroy was not 

 original, for E. Geoffroy had already given the name, in 1810, to an 

 outwardly somewhat similar, but perfectly distinct, species from Mada- 

 gascar. The name must be dropped from the synonymy of the Indian 

 Flying-Fox.
