Pteropus scapulatus, Peters in Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. 3rd series, vol. ii. p. 231.

A description of this species has been published by Dr. W. Peters of Berlin, in the number of the 'Annals and Magazine of Natural History' for March 1863. As this description did not appear until after these pages were in type, I have had no opportunity of examining the specimen described, and must therefore content myself with transcribing Dr. Peters's remarks respecting it:—

"The present species nearly approaches Pteropus medius in size, and is very easily distinguished from all other species by two humeral spots" of ochreous-yellow, "and also by the golden-yellow colour of the abundant woolly hair on the ventral side of the wing-membranes, which appears near the lumbar region, on the humeral membrane, and near the fore arm almost to its end."
