2. RHINOLOPHUS FERRUM-EQUINUM NIPPON Temm. 
3. 485. Tano, Miyasaki Ken, Kiushiu. 
3. PIPISTRELLUS ABRAMUS Temm. 
g. 6. Takayu, near Yonezawa, Uzeu, N. Central Hondo. 
Dr. Jentink* has shown that Temminck’s Vespertilio akokomuli 
is the same species as his V. abramus. The type locality of both 
is Nagasaki, Kiushiu. 
“Caught, with the two succeeding species, in caves near the 
village.”— WM. P. A. 
4, Myoris (LEvcoNoE) MAcRoDACTYLUS Temm. 
3. 490,500. 9. 493, 494, 515, 516, 517. Tano, Miyasaki 
Ken, Kiushiu. 500’. 
Dimensions of an adult male :— 
Forearm 36 mm. 
Head and body 44; tail 35; ear 14:5. 
These specimens agree absolutely with Temminck’s description, 
and there can be no doubt that they belong to his species, in spite 
of Peters’s assertion t that macrodactylus resembled very closely 
the European J. capaccinii, to which these examples bear no 
resemblance whatever. Indeed, so great is the discrepancy, that I 
am tempted to suppose that Peters did not really see the specimens 
described by Temminck at all. I. macrodactylus in fact is more 
closely allied to WM, daubentoni. 
5. MYoris NATTERERI BOMBINUS, subsp. n. 
@. 486, 487, 488, 489, 492. Tano, Miyasaki Ken, Kiushiu. 
500". 
Similar in essential respects to the European J. natiereri, which 
it evidently represents in Japan. But the ear appears to be rather 
longer (judging from skins only), the tragus narrower and more 
boldly curved outwards, the skullis more abruptly and considerably 
inflated in the frontal region, and the colour is not quite the same. 
In true W. natterert the colour is paler and more uniform than 
in the other small European species of I/yotis, this being apparently 
due to the fact that the pale brown ends to the hairs are longer 
and therefore hide the blackish-grey of their bases. In bombinus, 
however, the coloration is more normal, a darker variegated brown, 
the blackish-grey bases of the hairs showing through. In a 
similar way below, the light ends to the hairs are shorter and less 
prominently white. 
Dimensions of the type :— 
Forearm 40 mm. 
Head and body 52; tail 44; ear 17.
