4. SPASMA. p. 32. Megachrma. 



The Liiinean reference (Syst. Nat. (6) p. 7) refers alone to 



Glis volans ternatanus, Seba, Thes. i. p, 90, p. 56. f. 1, which 

 is the bat known as 



Megadertna spasma. 



See K. Anders. & Wrought. Ann, Mag. N. H. (7) xix. p. 132, 

 1907. 



5. LEPORiNUS. p. 32. Noctilio. 



Equally through Syst. Nat, (6) p, 7, the first Linnean refer- 

 ence, and Seba, pi. Iv. fig. 1, we get to the correctly known 

 Noctilio leporinus. 

 Suggested type locality : Surinam. 



6. AURiTus. p. 32. Plecotus. 



References: Frisch, Av, (Vogel Deutsehlands) 103.

Olear. Mus. t. 15. f. 1. 

 The Long-eared Bat, Plecotus auritus. 

 Type locality, from Frisch : Germany (Berlin), 



7. MURtNus. p. 32. Vespertilio. 

 Linnean references : Faun, Suec, 18 ; Syst. Nat. (6) p. 7, no. 2. 



For reasons explaining why this should be considered as the bat 

 formerly known as Vespertilio or Vesperugo discolor, see Miller, I. c. 

 Type locality : Sweden (Upsala). 



Genus 5. Elephas. p, 33. 

 Monotypic. Type, E. maximus (U, indicus auctorum). 

 Species : 



MAXIMUS. p. 33. Elephas. 



Linnean reference : Syst. Nat. (6) p. 11, where the single quo- 

 tation is to Ray, Quadr. p. 123 (131 in the Museum copy). 

 Ray gives a long account of the Elephant, but does not 

 distinguish the two forms, nor give any locality. Linnfeus, 

 howevei", says " Habitat in Ceylonse paludosis," whence 

 Type localit}'' : Ceylon. 



Genus 6. Trkjhecuus. p. 34. 

 Monotypic. Type, T. manatits.
