SPECIES ERRONEOUSLY CREDITED TO THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 

 BY ELERA. 



In his Catalogo Sistematico de Toda la Fauna de Filipinas, 

 Casto de Elera records from definite islands many species of 

 mammals which simply do not and never have occurred there. 

 These records are probably based on misidentified specimens, 

 as nearly all are listed as represented in the collection of the 

 Colegio-Universidad de Santo Tomas de Manila. Some of them 

 obviously represent species since described from the Philippines, 

 which he had confounded with Indian or Chinese forms and 

 are thus accounted for in the present list. The records which 

 I have ignored as quite impossible, or too improbable for serious 

 consideration without better evidence, are listed below. Doubt- 

 less a few of these species, or their local representatives, espe- 

 cially certain of the bats, will eventually prove to inhabit the 

 Islands.
