I have previously noted the differences between the present species and 
S. kuhli, and this series entirely bears out my former notes. As regards colora- 
tion, it is not strictly accurate to state that the under parts are not lighter, for 
although, as a rule, the colour is very uniform, some specimens are decidedly 
paler below. The general colour also varies from smoky-brown to bright 
chestnut. 
I can find no description of this bat by Gray, and it is certainly not in 
the ‘ Illustrations of Indian Zoology,’ which has been quoted by several authors 
as containing the original description of the species. It is very closely allied 
to, if indeed it be not identical with, S. temminckii (Horsf.) from Java, but 
owing to paucity of material the matter cannot be decided at present. 
‘ We found this bat to be the common house bat of the Eastern Malay 
States. It was exceedingly abundant in the roofs of the houses at Patani, and 
the specimens from Biserat were obtained in the hollow of the flagstaff facing 
the government offices.’

Diptcra Pupipara.
