MAMMAL SURVEY OF INDIA, BURMA AND CEYLON. 703 



" Plentiful, roosting by day on the under sides of palm and plantain 

 leaves, sometimes singly or in pairs, but more usually in small colonies. 

 Vernacular name. — Kiawa (all small bats) (Malay, Bankachon)."— G.C.S. 



(9) EONYCTBRIS SPELAEA, Dobs. 



Dobsori's Long-tongued Fruit Bat. 



1871. Macroglossus spelaeus, Dobson, Proc. A. S. B., pp. 105, 106. 



1891. Eonycteris spelcea, Blanford, Mammalia No. 144. 

 ^11, $7, Tagoot. 



This bat rather resembles Rousettus, but is more warmly coloured 

 above and darker below, but is at once separable from any of that genus 

 as well as from Cynopterus, by the absence of a claw on the index finger. 



" Plentiful in a cave near Tagoot, in company with other small Fruifc 

 Bats and EmballonuridcB." — G-.C.S. 



(10) Maceoglossus minimus sobrinus, K. And. 



The small Long-tongued Fruit-Bat. 



1810. Pteropus minimus, Geoffroy. Ann : Mus: d' H. N. XV. p. 97. 



1891. Carponycteris minima, Blanford. Mammalia. No. 143. 



1911. Macroglossus miw mus sobrinus, K. Andersen, A.M.N.H. VII. p. 642, 



1 (Juv.). .Bankachon. 



The specimen is too young for confident identification. Dr. Andersen in his 

 Catalogue of the Ohiroptera (p. 761) writes " It is probably this form which 

 has been recorded in literature from Tenasserim." I have therefore ranked 

 it under that name. 



(11) Nycteris javanica, Geoff. 



The Javan Long-eared Bat. 



1813. Nycteris juvanicus, Geoffroy, Am. du. Mus. XX., p. 20. 

 (51, 91, Bankachon. 



This Bat somewhat resembles a Megaderm, especially in its very large 

 ears and the presence of both a nose leaf and a tragus, the latter however 

 is very small. Blanford does not include this species in his Fauna but 

 quotes Dobson to the effect that it had been found in the Malay Peninsula 

 and Java. (Mammalia, p. 295.) It is the only species found in the Oriental 

 Region, all the rest of the Genus being African. These so far as I can 

 discern are the first specimens taken within Indian limits. 



" A single pair were driven out of a porcupine burrow in thick evergreen 

 forest by one of my ferrets." — G.O.S. 



(12) Rhinolophus lucttjs, Temm. 



The Malayan Great Horse-shoe Bat, 



1835. Rhinolophus luctzis, Temminck, Mon. Mamm., II., p. 24. 



1842. Rhinolophus morio, Gray, A. M. N. H., X., p. 257. 



1891. Rhinolojjhus luctus, Blanford, Mammalia No. 145 (partim). 

 5 1, Bankachon. 



Dr. Andersen has recognised perniger, Hodgs., as a separate species and 

 has established beddomei to represent the North Indian (Himalayan) 

 and the South Indian forms respectively. All three are included by 

 Blanford under the name luctus. It is a large, black Rhinolophus, with a 

 large and complicated nose-leaf.
