Though it has a rather larger forearm, this specimen 

 agrees well with specimens in the British Museum collec- 

 tion from British East Africa. It may be noted that this 

 specimen has a forearm of 65 mm., while Dobson gives 

 about 61 as normal.

 land, and the present specimens come from what must be 

 the northern limit of the range of the species, which 

 perhaps accounts for some small but not constant differ- 

 ences between them and typical M. brachyrhyncJms.
