Leach's A. jamaicensis, 1821.— The probable type, the ^skm 

 (unreoistered) of an adult individiial from Jamaica ("«" m 

 Dobson's Catalogue, p. 520), with skull (" q' "), is in the British 



Museum. . -r, •.• 1 



Leach's MadaUeus leioisii, 1821.— The type, m the British 

 Museum (skin, with skull ; unregistered ; "6" in Dobson's Cata- 

 loo-ue, p. 520), is a very young A. j. jamaicensis, sent from 

 Jamaica by W. Lewis. The peculiarities which led Leach to 

 regard it as a distinct species (and genus) are due to the 

 immaturity of the individual. 



Gosse'sA. carpolegus, 1851.— Based on a S ad., obtained by 

 Gosse at Content, Jamaica, preserved in alcohol; Brit. Mas. 

 no. 47.12.27.13. Indistinguishable from J^e&c\\'ii A. jamaicensis. 

 The Bat now called Ariteus achradojMlus was described by Gosse 

 under three names -.—A. jamaicensis Leach (of which he had only 

 Horsfield's description in Zool. Journ. iii. (1828) p. 238 for com- 

 parison), A. achradojMlus Gosse, and A. sulphareus Gos^e (light 

 phase); the trwQ A. jamaicensis Leach he described under a new 

 name, A. carjjolegus Gosse. 



Cope's Dermanura eva, 1889.— Founded on two adult males, 

 from the island of St. Martins, West Indies, now in the collection 

 of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia. They were 

 stated by Cope to have f molars only, and therefore referred by 

 him to "the " genus " Dermanura ; the rest of the description 

 ^ (Hp tubercles, nose leaves, ears, interfemoral, fur, colour, dimen- 

 sions) is that of an ordinary A. j. jamaicensis; forearm 59, 

 tibia 21, foot 17 mm. ; no description nor measurements of 

 the skull.— The types were re-examined by Rehn, in 1900 1,
