FRUIT-BATS.

cavern long-tongued fruit-bat (Eonycteris spelceci) is a rather larger species, 
distinguished by the absence of a claw on the index linger. It inhabits caves 
in Burma, Java, and Cambodia. The only other species we shall mention is 
Woodford’s long-tongued fruit-bat (Nesonycteris woodfordi), from the Solomon 
Islands, which is remarkable for its brilliant coloration, the body and hairy 
portions of the limbs being of a bright orange, while the wing-membranes are 
dark brown. Nothing seems to be known of the habits of this bat.
