Mammals of Burma. 



[No. 1, 



Others doubtless remain to be discovered in the Indo-Chinese countries, 

 inclusive of Calops frithii (J. 29). 



32. ASELLIA STOLICZKANA. 



Asettia stoZiczkana, Dobson ; P. A. S. B. May, 1871, p. 106 ; J. A. S. B. vol. xl. p. 263 • 

 Phyttorhim trifida, Peters ; P. Z. S. June, 1871, p. 513. 



Specimens were obtained by Dr. F. Stoliczka and Mr. F. Day at Penang. 



Fam. Vespertilionidae. 

 Ordinary Bats. 



*33. Nycticejus luteus (J. 43). 



Nycticejus luteus, Blyth, J. A. S. B. vol. xx. p. 157 ; Scotophilus heathii, apud 

 Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1870, p. 619. 



Arakan, and probably the rest of British Burma, unless far to the south- 

 ward. " Yery common in Canton in April and May." * 



*34. N. temminckii (J. 44). 



Vespertilio temminckii, Horsfield. 



Generally diffused, except probably at high elevations. One of the most 

 abundant of Bats throughout India up to the base of the Himalaya, as well 

 as in the Indo-Chinese and Malayan countries, and the South of China. 



35. N. CASTANEUS (J. 45). 

 Nycticejus castaneus, Gray. 



This species or race, which merely differs from the last in having the 

 under-parts nearly or quite as deeply coloured as the upper-parts, has been 

 obtained at Dacca, although chiefly a Malayan race or variety. Jerdon 

 refers to it as inhabiting Burma. Others are likely to occur, especially of 

 small size, and not improbably the large and singularly adorned JY. omatus' 

 which has been received from the Khasia hills. 



[I believe both N. luteus and JSF. castaneus are synonyms of iV. temminckii. 

 N. luteus is the perfectly adult N. temminckii. No difference whatever, 

 except size, can be found on comparing recent specimens and skeletons. 

 Specimens of iV. ornatus, Blyth, were obtained by Dr. Anderson in the 

 Kakhyen Hills, Yunan.— G.E.D.]
