W. T. Blanford — Notes on Indian Chiroptera. 



271 



In conclasion, it may be useful to give the correct names, or, where 

 the species have not been determined with certainty, the approximate 

 identifications, of the bats enumerated in Jerdon's Mammals. I know 

 from experience how impossible it is to identify the species from the 

 descriptions, and any one who consults Sterndale's Mammalia of India 

 will see what a source of confusion Jerdon's names have proved. The 

 numbers are Jerdon's. In the few cases in which Dobson's specific 

 names differ from mine I have quoted both.
