Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Families and Genera of Bats
Owing to the fragmentarv condition of the remains by which they are known, it has not seemed expedient to attempt to introduce the extinct genera in a system based on characters which the fossils have for the most part lost. It has also seemed inexpedient to deal with subgenera at a time when the species of bats are still very imperfectly known.
