We are greatly indebted to Dr. Peter Ulrich for his assistance in locating and procuring these Miniopterus. The megachiropteran studied was the grey-headed fruit bat, Pteropus polio- cephalus, a representative of the single Australian genus, which was kindly loaned us from his collection by Mr. David Flea of West Burleigh.
