4 WROUGHTON, Collection of Mammals from Rhodesia. 



Nycteris capensis. 

 Nycteris capensis, Smith, Zool. Joum., 1829, p. 433. 

 Nycteris fuliginosa, Peters, " Reis. Moss.," p. 46, 1852. 



C. 1$. Kapsuku Mountains, S. Rhodesia. Alt. 3400. 



Dobson, in his Catalogue, lumps fuliginosa with 

 capensis. When the genus comes 1o be worked out it is 

 possible that these two forms will again be separated, in 

 which case, judging from the locality of fuliginosa the 

 present specimen will take that name. 



Scotoecus hindei. 



Scotcecus hindei, Thos., Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (7), vol. 7, p. 264, 

 1901. 



C. 2 $ . Petauke, East Loangwa district. Nov. 14, 1904. 

 Alt. 2400. 



This is a most interesting specimen ; for, though 

 undoubtedly S. hindei, it possesses a very small but quite 

 plainly visible anterior premolar not present in the type and 

 hitherto only known specimen of 6". hindei. This minute 

 premolar is situated on the inner side of the tooth row, 

 but not inside it, fitting into a notch in the inner side of 

 the cingulum of the canine ; this notch is clearly visible in 

 the type of hindei, but there is no trace there of the 

 minute premolar. Whether the presence or absence of 

 this small tooth is the truly normal condition in hindei is 

 a question which cannot be settled until more specimens 

 are available for examination. It may be noted, however, 

 that both tooth and notch are absent in the other two 

 species {albofuscus and hirundd) of Scotcecus. 



Pipistrellus nanus. 



Vespertilio nanus, Peters, "Reis. Moss.," p. 63, 1S52. 



C6$. Mterize River, Loangwa Valley. July 24, 

 1905. Alt. 1800.
