MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 15 



REPORT OX THE MAMMALS. 



By Outram Bangs. 



During the year many interesting additions have been made to 

 the collection, though no large series have been received. 



From Senor don Jose Garcia we received a complete specimen 

 of Capromys nana, caught alive. Later Dr. Thomas Barbour 

 secured four specimens. Before this discovery the species had 

 been known only from bones found in caves and was supposed to 

 be extinct. 



In exchange there have been received thirty-four skins and skulls 

 of South American rodents and opossums, thirty skins and skulls 

 and ten alcoholic African bats, from the American Museum of 

 Natural History; twenty-three skins and skulls from Arkansas 

 from W. G. Savage ; two Porto Rican bats from the L T nited States 

 National Museum. 



By purchase we have received 188 skins, skulls or skeletons, 

 from the Cameroons, collected by the Rev. George Schwab; 

 twelve skins of Australian mammals. 



Single specimens or small series have been presented by Messrs. 

 H. K. Balch, Thomas Barbour, William Brewster, W. E. Castle, 

 Donald R. Dickey, W. R. Forrest, A. B. Fuller, don Jose Garcia, 

 E. L. Mark, George Nelson, Roland Thaxter, J. E. Thayer, and 

 David Vincent. 



Some additional bats were received from Fiji Island Expedition 

 collected by W. M. Mann and from the Harvard Peruvian Expedi- 

 tion collected by G. K. Noble.
