TABLE 1 Forearm and Selected Cranial Measurements of the Four Flying Foxes of Samoa Values for Fijian P. samoensis and P. anetianus of Vanuatu are shown for comparison (provided for each sample are mean ± SD, range of measurements, and sample size) Measurements for Samoan and Fijian populations based on adult specimens at AM, AMNH, ANSP, BMNH, USNM, and ZMUC. Cranial measurements for P. anetianus are based on specimens at AMNH, BMNH, and USNM; external measurements for P. anetianus are compiled from Andersen (1912), Felten and Kock (1972), and Flannery (1995) where explicit measurements were provided by those sources. Asterisked values refer to an estimated measurement from an incomplete skull.
