Extract

In 1945 I received a large collection of Streblidae from the late Prof. A. M. Adamson, of the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture. This collection was made by a post-graduate student, Mr T. S. Jones, and Dr E. C. Humphries, in Trinidad. Later on Mr Jones sent me another three collections, which together with the first comprised three hundred and sixty specimens, the largest number of Streblidae which has ever been collected in America. In addition, I received seven specimens from Mr P. C. J. Brunet, of Keble College, Oxford, which were also collected in Trinidad. I take this opportunity to express my thanks to all these gentlemen, and especially to Mr Jones, who also supplied me with the list of the bats of Trinidad, and some useful information regarding their roosting habits. My thanks are also due to Dr T. C. S. Morrison-Scott and Mr R. W. Hayman of the British Museum (Natural History) for their help in checking the names of several species of bats. The present record is based on the abovementioned five collections and also includes all those records which had been known from Trinidad before.
