* Vampyrus, it is understood, was long' ago appropriated by M. Geoffroy 

 (in a MS. communication to Dr. Leacli) as a generic name to V. Spec- 

 trum of Linnaeus ; but Spix, in his splendid work on the animals of Brazil, 

 now publishing, has adopted it for three species tljere described, the Cirrho- 

 8US, Soricinus, and Bidens. These, it will be observed, differ in the cha- 

 racter of their dentition, as V. Spectrum, though ditl'ering in the number 

 of the cheek teeth from the Phyllostomata in general, has been comuKjnly 

 arranged in that genus. Mr. Gray proposes to treat V. Spectrum of 

 Linnaeus as generically distinct from Phyllostoma, under the name of 

 Vampyrus, as originally applied to it by Geoffroy, and to divide the three 

 species of Spix's genus Vampyrus above mentioned into two genera, the 

 one under the name Tstiophorus, ircluding Cirrhosus and Soricimis, and 

 the other under that of Tonatia including- Bidens only.
