New England Zool. Club, 23:59, March 26, from Florida. _Specimens examined_ (four males and three females; five in alcohol and two skin-onlys).--Fauro, in April, 23727, 23790; Guadalcanal in May and June, 23823, 23931; Pavuvo (Russell Islands) in August and October, USNM 277887, USNM 283872-3. _Measurements._--External measurements of two males and two females are, respectively, as follows: Length of head and body, 152, 128, 132, 155; hind foot, 29, 26, 31, 28; ear, 16, 14, 14, 17; length of forearm, 79, 76, 86, 90. _Remarks._--Heretofore, _Pteropus woodfordi_ was known from New Georgia, Guadalcanal, Kolombangara, and Banika (see Fig. 7); specimens from Fauro and Pavuvo islands, listed above, provide new northern localities of record for this species. Judging by small size and unfused epiphyses, a bat obtained in April and another obtained in June are subadults. Specimens of adults, examined by me, agree well with the descriptions of _P. woodfordi_ by Thomas (1888_a_:156) and Andersen (1912:407-409), but are slightly smaller than specimens listed by Sanborn and Beecher (1947:389). Color of pelage in this species seems to vary. Adults seen have a pale head and mantle, contrasting strongly with the dark back. Andersen (1912:409) and Lawrence (1945:61) discussed individuals that had scattered silvery hairs mixed with dark fur dorsally and darker mantles that did not contrast noticeably with the rest of the dorsum.
