*36. Vespektjgo imbhicatus. 



Vespertilio imbrieatus, Horsfleld; " young probably V. abramus, Tern., and V. lobatus, 

 Gray; probably adult of V. coromandelianus, F. Cuv., r Dobson, in P. A. S. B. 1872' 

 p. 156).* 



A minute species, about the commonest and most generally diffused 

 of Eats 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 followed by the sight. 



37. Tyloistycteris pachyptts. 



Vespertilio pachypus, Temk., Monog. Mamm. ; Scotophilus fulvidus, Blyth, J. A. S. B. 

 vol. xxviii. p. 293 ; Vesperus pachypus, Dobson, P. A. S. B. 1871, p. 212 ; Tylonycteris

38. Kebivotjla pict a (J. 53). 

 Vespertilio pictum, Pallas. 



This very beautifully coloured little Bat, as seen alive or quite fresh, 

 occurs in British Burma, as in the adjacent parts of S.E. Asia. 



[*39. Yespehtilio hasseltxi. 



Vespertilio hasseltii, Temm. Monog. Mammal, ii. p. 225 ; Vesperugo hasseltii, Wagner, 

 Suppl. Schreb. Saugeth. v. p. 740. 



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

 (Subg. Leuconoe, Boie) as Vespertilio capaccini, 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. § Tenasserim province, Sumatra and Java.] 



40. Y. beedmohei. 



Myotis berdmorei, Blytb, J. A. S. B. xxviii. p. 293.
