ble, and consequently the species has received a great number of different 

 names. 



9. VeSPERUGO (PiPISTRELLUS) ATTSTENIAltTIIS. 

 Fijnstrellus Austeiiicoius, Dobson, P. A. S. B., 1871, p. 213. 



Major Godwin- Austen has lately sent another specimen of this species 

 which is readily known by its broad straight tragus, and intensely black 

 integuments and fur. P. qfinis, Dobson, from Yunan, is very close to this 

 species, but there are nine vertebrse in the tail compared with seven in P. 

 Austenianus, the tragus is narrower, and the colour of the fur light brown. 



10. Ntcticejus ornatus, Blyth. 



This peculiarly marked bat is the nearest representative of the Ameri- 

 can genus Atalapha ( = Lasiurios). It is common in the warm valleys 

 about Darjeeling and Dr. J. Anderson found it in the Kakyan Hills, 

 Yunan. 



11. Baebastelltjs communis, Gray. 



I can discover no difference between the specimen sent by Major God- 

 win-Austen and specimens of the common European Barbastelle. It ap- 

 pears to be common in the Himalayas, Specimens have been sent from 

 Masuri by Captain Hutton, and from Simla by Moulvie Ataor Ruhman ; 

 those from Simla are preserved in the Indian Museum. 



It may be confidently expected that the following species which are 

 generally common in the surrounding countries will be found in the Khasia 

 Hills, namely — Fteropus medius, Temm. ; Cynoptertos marcjinatus, Geoff. ; 

 Cynonycteris amjplexicaudata, Geoff. ; Megaderma lyra, Geoff. ; JRliinoloplms 

 aflnis, Horsf. ; Bh. Garoensis, Dobson ; Fhyllorliina diadema, Geoff. ; Ph. 

 speoris, Schr. ; Taphozous saccolaimics, Temm. ; T. melanopogon, Temm. ; 

 Vespertilio formosus, Hodgson; Kerivoula picta, Pallas; K. Hardwickiij 

 Gray ; Vesperugo annectens, Dobson ; Vesperus (Tylonycteris) pachypus^ 

 Temm. ; Nycticejus TemmincJcii, Horsf. ; N. Tlckelli, Blyth ; Murina harpia,
