Mag. N.H. (8), Vol. 4, p. 469] suggests that these bats are more or less 
migratory, which may account for their occurrence side by side in some 
places. The following are measurements of this specimen : — External 
measurements : head and body, taken in the flesh, 130 mm. ; forearm, 78; 
pollex, total length, c. u., 35, metacarpal 13’ 7, first phalanx 16*5 ; second 
digit, metacarpal, 40*5, first phalanx 7*8, second and third phalanx, c. ?/.,

These specimens are apparently typical ; two are evidently young, the 
tail measuring 86 mm. as against 103 in the third, though the length of 
the head and body is the same in all three, namely about 100 mm. ; the 
skull of the longer tailed specimen is broken, but is a little broader across 
the zygomatic arches than the other two.

By mistake the tail of this subspecies was described as having a white 
tip : the tip of the tail is white in the Waynek specimen, which should
