Bemarhs. — Pipistrellus Ttuhlii is easily recognizable by tbe 

 form and relative size of tbe upper incisors. Externally it may 

 usually be known by tbe sharply denned wbitisb border to tbe 

 wing membrane, tbough too mucb reliance sbould not be placed 

 on this character alone. Many specimens from Sardinia are 

 lighter in colour than those from the mainland. These represent 

 the albolimbatus of Kiister. Normally coloured examples also 

 occur ; and in the absence of adequate material it has seemed 

 preferable for the time being not to attempt to define the insular 

 form.
