2. Cynopterus scherzeri. 



Pachysoma scherzeri, Fitzinger, Sitzungs. Wien. Akad. 1860, p. 389 



(nom. nudum). 

 Cynopterus marginatus, var. Pachysoma scherzeri, Zelehor, Reise der 



oster. Freg. ' Novara,' Sdngeth. p. 11 (1868). 

 Cynopterus scherzeri, Dohson, Monogr. Asiat. Chiropt. p. 26, fig. (ear). 



This species, like Ft. nicoharicus, was named but not described by 

 Pitzinger ; and Zelebor regards it as a variety of C. marginatus. It 

 is at once distinguished from that species by its small and narrow 

 ears, which are also not margined with white. When adult speci- 

 mens of 0. marginatus and of this species are compared together, 

 the difference in the size and shape of the ears is very striking. 



The muzzle is thicker in front and the colour of the fur much 

 darker than in any specimen of G. marginatus. 



Length (of an adult $ preserved in alcohol), head and body 3"-7, 

 tail 0"-55, head l"-3, ear 0"-63x0"-32, eye to tip of nostrU 0"-45, 

 forearm 2"'7, thumb 1", third finger 4"-75, fifth finger 3"-5, tibia 1", 

 foot 0"-6. 



Hah. Car-Nicobar Island ; found beneath the leaves of the cocoa- 

 nut palms. 



Zelebor mentions that the ears of the specimens obtained at Car- 

 Nicobar are margined with white ; but I have been unable to detect 

 even the slightest trace of a white border in the ears of several spe- 

 cimens from the same locality examined by me. Therefore either 

 Zelebor has been mistaken, or the white bordering of the ears is not 

 a constant character in this species, or I have wrongly identified 

 the species here described with O. scherzeri. But, although it is 

 quite impossible to identify the species here described with that 

 obtained during the ' i^ovara' Expedition at Car-Nicobar Island from
