NAGAMICHI KURODA: 



with whitish buff. Very young examples show the fur of the dorsal 

 side hoary greyish ashy and that of the ventral parts much paler and 

 whitish ashy. 



Distribution. According to Mr. Namiye (I.e.), the form under 

 consideration is probably a rarer bat than N. aviator. I have found 

 it common on and around the sea-rocks (Tsukuejima, Hashirajima and 

 Kurose) near Genkaijima, at the entrance to Hakata Bay in Prov. 

 Chikuzen. It is said that the bat is also not uncommon in Keyano- 

 ôto, a large basaltic rock cave on the coast of the same province.
