Blanford, W. T. Notes on Indian Chiroptera. J. A. S. B. lvii, 
pp. 260-272. 
Contains notes on the nomenclature, distribution, &c., of several species 
of Indian Bats, all of which are incorporated in the “Manual of Indian 
Mammalia ” (supra, p. 3). The generic term Hipposiderus is adopted in 
place of Phyllorhina , and Xantliarpyia instead of Cynonycteris. The 
paper concludes with a list of 55 species of Chiroptera given by Jerdon, 
and the amended nomenclature proposed, several of these names being 
reduced to the rank of synonyms. The name Rhinolophus tragatus , 
adopted by Jerdon, is retained for the Indian Bat commonly identified 
with R. ferrum-equinum.
