2 Males, 15 Females. Gurun, Kedah.
A large number of smaller fruit bats were obtained at
Gurun but those which were obviously immature were not
preserved. As shown by the external measurements given
below, they are undoubtedly examples of C. b. btachyotis.

Ear from orifice ... 16 — 18.
Forearm ... ... 60 — 65.5

Taphozous melanopogon, subsp.
Taphozovus melanopogon, Temm. Mon. Mamm., II, p. 287,
p. 60, figs. 8, 9 (1835—41).
14 Males, 13 Females. Gunong Kriang, Kedah.
Gunong Kriang, 700 ft. high, is an isolated and precipitous
limestone mass standing in the flat Kedah plain some miles
north of Alor Star. It is penetrated by deep tunnel-like caves
and in its walls are many more of a shallower nature. These
latter are inhabited by large numbers of bats of this species
but no others were met with.
These examples resemble all other specimens of melanopogon
from the Malay Peninsula and adjacent islands but
appear to differ from the typical race in having paler fur and
wing-membranes which are almost white.
