This species is described by Mr. Thomas on an earlier page. 



The most striking outwardly visible character is the tuft of hairs on a 

 gland at the base of the tail. 



" This was the only Pipistrel observed during the whole of my stay at

Mr. Thomas, who has kindly examined this Bat, furnishes the following- 

 note : — 



" This specimen has the posterior of the two small premolars more inter- 

 nal than usual, not visible externally. But examples from Selangore 

 (Butler) and Java (Shortridge) agree with the type from Nepal, so that the 

 variation does not seem to be geographical. 



It may be noted that the type of M. siligorensis, Tomes, (with which M, 

 darjelingensis, in the absence of a type, may be synonymized) proves to be 

 the species with extraordinarily small canines described by Dobson as 

 Vespertilio nepalensis . 



V. caliginosus, Tomes, and V. blavfordi, I'obs., as exemplified by typical 

 ■specimens, both appear to be referable to M. onystacinus. Should the Indian 

 form of this Bat prove separable from the European, the former of these 

 names would be applicable to it." — O. T. 



" A fairly early flier, apparently seldom leaving the shelter of trees." — 

 .G. 0. S.
