may have been obtained from a deep valley at no great elevation above 

 the sea. 



Harptiocephalus leucogaster. 



There is in the British Museum a skin of this species procured by 

 Hodgson near Darjiling. 



Vespertilio hasselti. 



A specimen from Burma, the exact locality not recorded, is in the 

 British Museum. 



Vespertilio longipes. 



There can, I think, be very little, if any, doubt that this small bat 

 described by Dobson in 1872 from the caves of Bhima Devi, Kashmir, is 

 the same form as was named by Blyth Myotis theohaldi in 1855 (J. A. 

 S. B. XXIV, p. 363). Blyth's types were obtained by Mr. Theobald 

 from limestone caves near Matar Nag, N. of Islamabad (J. A. S. B. 

 XXII, p. 581), and were at first referred by Blyth to Myotis pallidiven- 

 trisj Hodgson, but subsequently distinguished. The types were after- 

 wards lost. The measurements, the large feet, and the habitat render it 

 nearly certain that the two forms are identical, but it is impossible to 

 adopt Blyth's name without clearer evidence, for his description is in- 

 sufficient, and he declares the species to be extremely close to the pipis- 

 trelle, which F. lo7igipes is not. 



Vespertilio megalopus. 



The collection containing the type of this bat was supposed to be 

 from the Gaboon, West Africa. The known species in the collection, 

 however, prove to be from Kashmir, and there is every probability that 

 V. megalopus is from the same country. 



Myotis berdmorei, Blyth. 



This was a name given by Blyth in his Catalogue, p. 35, to three 

 specimens of a bat in spirit received from Major Berdmore in 1859. 

 The description of the species appeared in the Society's Journal for that 

 year (J. A. S. B. XXVIII, p. 293). The specimens were in all pro- 

 bality obtained at or near Shive Gyeng on the Sittoung (or Sitang) River, 

 Burma. The types appear to have been subsequently lost, as they are 

 not mentioned in Dobson's Catalogue at the end of his monograph of 

 Asiatic Chiroptera, or in Anderson's Catalogue. 



In this case I am unable to suggest what the species can have been. 

 It was said to resemble the pipistrelle in size and structure, but the fore-
