3. Scotophilus Morio.

Chocolate Bat—

specimens of which have been captured on the Lower Darling. I have been informed that a "tailed Bat" was also an inhabitant of that part of Australia, but I did not succeed in securing a specimen. I suppose that it is a new species of the genus Molossus, of which only a single representative is as yet described from this country, discovered some years ago by the late Dr. L. Becker, in the neighbourhood of Melbourne.
