| Abstract: | Bats are extremely rare in the Orange River deposits, mainly on account of the fluvial nature of the deposits. Nevertheless the order is represented at Arrisdrift by a new species of rhinolophid which is peculiar in having the vestigial premolar offset to the lingual side, opposite to the usual position in other rhinolophids. |
