" Very plentiful at Ramnagar. Here as elsewhere it is invariably found 

 in the roofs of houses. Sexes not apart at this season." — C. A. C. 



(18) Myotis dakjelingensis, Tomes. 

 The Darjeeling Bat. 

 1855. Vespertilio darjelingensis, Tomes, A.M.N.H. XVI, p. 102. 

 1891. Vespertilio onystaeinus, Blanford, Mammalia, No. 211 {partim). 



1 S, Phurkia, 10,700' ; 1 $ , 1 in al., Deori, Almora, 5,300'. 

 I think there can be no doubt that this is the bat taken and named by 

 Hodgson, described by Tomes and published by Gray. It shows the 

 characters on which Tomes relies to distinguish it from siligorensis, des- 

 cribed earlier (in the same place) by him. It is quite possible that, when 

 a comparative examination can be made, with sufficient material, these 

 two may be found to be only one species, in which case the latter name 

 will stand, or even both of them may prove to be identical with the Euro- 

 pean mystacinus. For the present, however, I think we are on safer ground 

 in calling it darjelingensis. 



(19) MlNIOPTERUS FTJLIGINOSUS, HodgS. 



Hodgson's Long-winged Bat. 



1835. Vespertilio fuliginosa, Hodgson, J.A.S.B. IV, p. 700, 



1891. Miniopterus schreibersi, Blanford, Mammalia, No. 216 {partim).

This perhaps represents Hodgson's Sorex soccatus. At any rate it is 

 closely allied to, if not identical with, the common " Musk rat " of India. 



" These shrews appear to be very common at Almora. I frequently 

 heard their shrill squeaking note in the hedges as I passed by at night. 

 A few were taken in houses but the majority from gardens and hedges." — 

 C.A.O. 



(21) Pachyura micronyx, Blyth. 



Himalayan Pigmy Shreio. 



1855. Sorex micronyx, Blyth, J.A.S.B. XXIV, p. 33. 



1888. Crocidura hodgsoni, Blanford, Mammalia No. 124 {partim). 

 1 c?, Ratighat, 3,700'. 



This is very probably micronyx, which was based on two specimens, one 

 collected by Mr. Stewart at Landour, and the other by my grandfather 

 Major Wroughton, in the low country of Kumaon. It may prove later to 

 be synonymous with hodgsoni from Darjiling, but even then the name wiU 

 stand. It would seem to be quite distinct from the animals which we 

 have so far labelled provisionally perrotteti.
