488 ZOOLOGICAL EESULTS OT THE EUWENZOEI EXPEDITIOJN'. 



Pending the revision of the group by Dr. K. Andersen we give the above pro- 

 visional names for the two Epaulet Bats obtained. 



[Only a few of these Bats were met with on Ruwenzori ; they were not seen above 

 6500 ft., and were more plentiful on the plains below. — E. B. W.]

d. 144, 289; 134, 142, 143. ?. 135, 672; 288, 295, 300, 301, 669, 670, and 

 5 in spirits. Mokia, S.E. Huwenzori. 3400 ft. 



[These Bats were never seen on the mountains, but were very plentiful among the 

 acacia-trees on the plains arouud the south end of Euwenzori at an altitude of 3400 ft. 

 They spent the day hanging up in the trees fully exposed to the sun, and were not 

 easy to approach, as they took flight at the least alarm. The natives distinguished 

 this Bat from all others, and called it " Bihuguhugu." — R. B. W.] 



15. Petalia hispida Schreb. 



? . 149, 673. Mokia, S.E. Ruwenzori. 3400 ft. 

 1 (J , 2 S in spirits. Mubuku Valley, E. Euwenzori. 5000 ft. 



[Occasionally seen up to 5500 ft. on Ruwenzori. They were most numerous 

 among the acacia-trees on the plains around the south end of the range. Native 

 name " Kasalamatwi." — R. B. W.] 



16. Petalia aege Thos. 



d . 165, 166. Fort Beni, Semliki Valley. 3000 ft. 



5 in spirits. Between Mawambi and Avakubi, E. Congo Forest. 



[These little Bats are not uncommon in the Congo Forest, but, like all small Bats 

 in such a place, they were extremely difficult to obtain. They were never caught in 

 a long net set between the trees, and shooting them as they dived in and out among 

 the trees was almost impossible, and still more impossible is it to find them when 

 shot. They were occasionally seen flying low over the water on the Aruwimi River. 

 — E. B. W.]
