1 The type specimen. 
The new species is probably a resident on Tsushima. It differs from M. 
macrodactylus (Temm.) from Hondo and Kiusiu by much larger body and by 
the color of fur. Another species is found in Kiusiu called by the name of M. 
nattereric hamhinus Thos., but it has shorter forearm, 40 mm., and the calcaneum 
extending about halfway between the ankle and the tail, instead of extending at 
least three-fourths the distance between the ankle and the tail. 
*7. Miniopterus schreibersi japoniae Thomas. — ^An adult male was collected 
by Mr. Teraoka on Wakamiyajima, Iki, November 2. There is no difference 
between this specimen and specimens from Hondo, Japan.
