" Native name, ' Mongavilane.' 



" Quite the commonest of the Bats at Coguno. Generally 

 appears long before dark, flying fairly high, and can be easily 

 secured with a shot-gun. Numbers 1621 and 1673 appeared to 

 me different from the others, from which they were easily 

 distinguishable on the wing." — 0. H. B. G. 



5. ScoTOPHiLus SCHLIEFFENI Peters. 

 cJ. 1595, 1631. 



This is the most southern locality from which this small iS'coto- 

 2}hilus has been recorded, the next being Marungu, whence 

 Dr. Noack described his S. minimus. 



6. Glauconycteris papilio Thos.* 

 cJ. 1580, 1603. $. 1620. 



Additional specimens of the rare and remarkable Butterfly- 

 bats of the genus Glauconycteris are extremely welcome. The 

 present examples agree in size and the colour of their heads with 

 G. pcqnlio, and equally differ from the white-headed and white- 

 bellied G. variegatus Tomes, of Damara-land. 



" Native name, ' Mongavilane.' 



" Apparently uncommon, as the three specimens taken were 

 the only ones observed. They appear about the same time as 

 ScotojMlus, but have a moi'e butterfly-like flight, which easily 

 distinguishes the species at a good distance." — 0. H. B. G. 



7. PiPiSTEELLUs NANUS Peters. 



$. 1668. 



Quite like the specimens from Legogot mentioned in the last 

 paper on the Budd Collections (Thomas & Schwann, P. Z. S. 

 1906, p. 780). 



" Native name, ' Mongavilane.' 



" These little Bats were fairly common, but, owing to their 

 small size and rather late appearance, a big series was not 

 obtainable."— C. H. B. G. 



8. Amblysomus obtusirosteis Peters. 

 S. 1635, 1637, 1670. $. 1649. 



" Caught in run in thick bush." 



These valuable specimens are practically topotypes of Peters's 

 species, which was described from the neighbourhood of Inhambane 

 town. 



Their bellies are of a peculiar coppery brown, and the lightei- 

 basal portion of their dorsal hairs is also strongly tinged with the 

 same colour. In A. chrysillus Thos. & Schw., from Delagoa Bay 

 the same parts are white or yellowish white. The hairs of the 

 back are about 5 mm. long in A. ohtusirosiris, 6-5 mm. in 

 A. chrysillus.
