ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 6 
BATS. 
During an examination of the bats which have been added 
to the Museum during the last few years, three have been met 
with which do not seem to have been described. They are a 
Cephalotes and two species of Taphozous. Whether the seeming 
and the truth are of one accord, time and the following descriptions 
will tell :— 
Cephalotes pannietensis n.s. 
A species with a gular sac as in certain microchiroptera and a 
cervical integumentary band, as in Epomophorus monstrosus. 
though not perhaps separable on account of these peculiarities 
from the genus Cephalotes, may be held to be different from C. 
peronii. 
Adult Male. — Form of head as in C. peronii. Ear twice as 
long as broad measured across the curve of the conch, as long 
as the face in front of the middle of the eye, anterior margin gently 
convex, concave near tip, posterior edge much more convex, 
concave near tip, tip obtusely pointed ; inner surface of conch 
with numerous ridges, those at the base strongly marked ; eye 
central between root of ear and tip of nose ; nares contiguous behind, 
divergent in front, subtubular, opening sublaterally, convolute around 
the narial orifice ; upper lip with a central, oblong cushion divided by 
a deep central groove ; lower lip with a small crescentic cushion on 
each side of the centre ; a group of glands behind the rhinarium 
on each side, and a conspicuous supraorbital gland ; a small but 
distinct gular sac secreting a waxy substance ; a strong vermiform 
integument ary fold from over the clavicle to the back of the neck, 
and a smaller one between it and the shoulder ; index clawless,, 
ending in a small knob ; wing from a septum attached to the central 
line of the back, thence to the bases of the toes ; tail short, free for 
about three-fourths of its length ; interfemoral margin deeply 
emarginate between the end of the calcaneum and the tail ; from 
the angle of both lips a superficial loop-like fold of integument 
enclosing a glandular (?) space. 
Fur short and harsh ; head above, except rhinarium, hairy; 
ear with a few long hairs on the base of the posterior edge without^
