Darker in shade of colour and with a slightly larger skull than the 
specimens from Malvern, Natal, which agree with Peters’ description of 
nanus. According to Thomas and Schwann ( Proc . Zool. Soc., 1905, p. 258) 
the skull of the type specimen of Vespertilio subtilis , Sund., is not like 
that of nanus , but of a typical Pipistrellus of small size ; the measurements 
recorded by them also indicate that subtilis is smaller than this southern 
race of nanus. Type: §, i '.M. No. 1076, ex coll. H. H. Swinny, Port 
St. Johns, 20.4.08. “H. and B., 36 mm. ; tail, 34 ; hind foot, 5 ; ear, 9.” 
Skull: gr. length 12*5, basal length 9 - 6, breadth 7*1, C.-M. series 
4*2, breadth at molars 5. Forearm (skin) 30. 
The following figures will illustrate the difference in size between

This specimen is much riiore brightly coloured than those from

taken one of Smith’s typical specimens of K. lanosa and given it the name
