‘ This big fruit bat, or kluang., the largest of all the Chiroptera, is very 
common in every locality in the Peninsula visited by us. Just before sunset, 
especially in the fruit season, flights* of them are to be seen making their way 
to the nearest orchard, where they commit great depredations. The line of 
flight is very direct and usually at a great height, and appears curiously 
deliberate and raven-like, though the pace at which they travel is really con- 
siderable. We noticed them in immense numbers in the estuary of the Klang 
River, and they were also very numerous on Bukit Besar during our second 
visit in September, 1901. Some Siamese eat them readily, though no Malay 
would touch them.’
