tlirongliout, except that there are a few inconspicuous lighter 

 spots on the wings which may correspond to the well-marked 

 spots of Baliony uteris.

 men : — 



Forearm 48 mm. 



Head and body 67 ; ear 13 ; pollex (c. u.) 18 ; third finger, 

 metacarpus 34, first phalanx 24, second phalanx 30*5 ; fifth 

 finger, metacarpus 30'5, first phalanx 14*5, second phalanx

Hab, (of type). Indrapura Peak, Sumatra. Alt. 7300'. 



Type, Adult female. B.M. no. 23. 1. 2. 1. Current 

 number 93. Collected in 1921 by Messrs. Pratt. Brought 

 home to the Amsterdam Museum by Dr. L. J. Toxopeus. 



A very interesting fruit-bat, adding one to a small group 

 of strongly marked forms, mostly inhabitants of mountainous 

 regions. 



It is of interest to record that there is also in the collection 

 an example from Pulo Nias of Chironax melanocepkalus, 

 Temm., which had not been rediscovered since its first 

 description in 1S25, and of which, therefore, Dr. Andersen 

 only had for examination the original and somewhat time- 

 worn specimens in the Leyden Museum. It may be noted 

 that the palate-ridges, as Dr. Andersen expected, prove to be 

 very like those of Cynopteriis, of similar number and shape, 

 except that the posterior ridges are more strongly bent back- 

 wards at the sides. The wings are inserted at the base of 

 the first toe, not between the first and second, as in 

 yEthalodes. 



Myotis hermani, sp. n. 



A beautiful black and red bat allied to " Chrysopteron " 

 lartelsi and weheri^ Jentink, but larger than either. 



Coloration essentially as figured in the excellent plate of 

 weheri\ the tone of the reddish parts of the membranes very 

 much as figured, near *^ orange-cinnamon," rather than the 

 " orange " mentioned by the describer. Dark parts blacker 

 than in the figure. Edges of ears black to about the same 

 extent as in ueherij therefore less than in hartelsi. Hind 

 legs reddish only to the ankles, the feet being black. 



Skull with a proportionally small brain-case and long- 

 heavy muzzle. The specimen is old, and has a well-marked 

 sagittal crest. Teeth as in such species of the genus as have 

 the second small premolar reduced, this tooth being minute 

 and quite internal above, and minute and half internal below. 

 Large premolar scarcely longer than m^ above, and not so
