A minute species, about the commonest and most generally diffused 

 of Bats from the base of the Himalaya to Ceylon, as likewise in the Indo- 

 Chinese and Malayan countries, and the South of China. It has also been 

 recorded from Persia.f When disturbed in a room its flight is so exceedingly 

 rapid that it can hardly be folio-wed by the sight.

 Suppl. Schreb. Saugetb. v. p. 740. 



This large-footed bat belonging to the same section of the genus 

 (Subg. Leuoonoe, Boie) as Vespertilio eapaecini, Bonap., is readily dis- 

 tinguished from all other allied species by the very small size of the second 

 lower premolar and its position quite internal to the tooth-row. Dr. Peters, 

 who first detected the presence of this small premolar, remarks that the 

 species was long considered as Vesperugo on account of the supposed absence 

 of this tooth.g Tenasserim province, Sumatra and Java.J
