stWs- Skin in alcohol, and skull. The specimen has no original
label, and bears onl\' a small tag numl)ered 9523, which corresponds
in the catalogue to a small bat, '' ] 'e.spert /'lio,^' nmrked in the origi-
nal catalogue as coming from "(Guyana, Venezuela." No other
data are given. It was catalogued some time between February 12,
and March 17, 1S70; skull, April 21, 1898. Dr. II. Allen, in his
description of Glossophaga villosa^ saj^s that the localitj'^ is probabl}^
La (hiayra, Venezuela. This mistake was probably made by his
referring to the copied v'olume of the original catalogue, where
the locality is given as "Guyara, Venezuela," which might be taken
to mean La Guayra; but in the original catalogue itself the writ-
ing is quite plainly "Guyana, Venezuela.'' Whether the localitv
in the catalogue is meant to be the eastern end of Venezuela bor-
dering on Guiana or in the old spelling, Guyana, or whether it
means that the specimen came from the general region of N'enezuela
and Guiana, it is impossible to say. A second specimen which
Dr. II. Allen had, No, 952-4, has no data whatever, and it may or
may not have come from the same locality.
