p. 1065 (= Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. pt. 277, included in 

 vol. xxiii. 1704). 

 Yespertilio admirabilis, Bont.(ius), Java, p. 68, 1658. 

 Felis volans ternatia, Seba, Mus. i. p. 93, t. 58. f. 2, 3. 

 The first is the primary and only vital reference, as the others 

 refer to specimens from impossible localities (Guzerat and Ternate). 

 Petiver's type locality was Pampanga, Southern Luzon, and the 

 animal therefoi^e was that until i-ecently known as G aleopithectis 

 (or Colugo) philippinensis. 



Cynocephalus, Boddaert, was based on " Lemur volans Linn.," 

 and antedates Gcdeopithecus hj many years. 



See Thos- Ann. Mag. N. H. (8) i. p. 252, 1908. 



Genus 4. Vespertilio. p. 31. 



Seven species, of which no. 7, murimos, has among its synonyms 

 Vespertilio, Bell. Av. 147; Gesn. Av. 694. 



Therefore type by tautonymy : Vespertilio mnrinus L., the bat 

 formerly known as F. discolor. 



See Miller, Ann. Mag. N. H. (6) xx. p. 379, 1897. 



Species : 



1.. VAMPYRUS. p. 31. Fteropus.

 Fteropxis edidis auctorum. 

 See Thos. P. Z. S. 1892, p. 316.

3. PBRSPiciLLATDS. p. 31. Hemid^erma. 

 Linnean references : Syst. Nat. (6) p. 7 ; Mus. Ad. Fr. i. 



p. 7. 



The latter, as referring to an actual specimen, would take 

 precedence, but the description is unrecognizable, and no specimen 

 is now in existence, as Dr. Lonnberg informs me. We therefore 

 take the single reference of the 6tli edition : — Yespei'tilio 

 americanus vulgaris, Seba, Thes. i. p. 90, t. 55. f. 2, of which the 

 original specimen (B.M. no. 67.4.12.597) is the bat known until 

 1892 as Hemiderma brevicaucki. 



See Thos. P. Z. S. 1892, p. 316. 



Suggested type locality : Surinam.
