1. Pteropus Edwardsii, Desm. Mamm. 109. 
Madagascar Eat, Edwards's Birds, t. 108. 
Vespertilio Vampyrus, Lin. Syst. Nat. i. 45. 
Flying Fox, Colonists of Port Jackson. 
This specimen, caught at Point Cunningham on the North- 
west Coast, appears to agree with Edwards’s figure, and 
with the specimen preserved in the British Museum. There 
is also one in the collection of the Linnean Society from 
Port Jackson. Large flights of these animals were observed 
at Port Keats and in Cambridge Gulf, on the North-west 
Coast. This bat seems- also to be very abundant on the 
Friendly Islands, for Forster describes having seen five hun- 
dred hanging upon one casuarina tree.— Forster, p. 187. , 
2. CaNIS AuSTRALliE. 
Canis familiaris Australasise, Desmarest, Mamm. 191. 
Australasian Dog, or Dingo, Shaw's Zool. i. 278, t. 76. 
This animal is common in the neighbourhood of Port Jackson, 
and dogs, to all appearance of the same species, are found on 
all parts of the coast. Captain King presented a living spe- 
cimen to Sir Everard Home, Bart., who sent it to Exeter 
Change.
