Notes	The fiber composition of the pectoral muscles (anterior division) of four bat species with different modes of flight was investigated. The pectoral muscles of Rhinolophus cornutus cornutus which flies slowly and delicately with short-broad wings were composed of three muscle fiber types, while those of Pipistrellus abramus abramus and Myotis macrodactylus that fly at a moderate speed with intermediate wings, and Vespertilio superans superans which flies a long distance with speedy and enduring flights with long-narrow wings were constituted with only one muscle fiber type. Electrophoretic patterns of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozyme were determined in extracts of the pectoral muscles of two species, M. macrodactylus and V. s. superans. The pectoral muscles of the former contained LDH-1, LDH-2 and LDH-3, while those of the latter did only LDH-1. It is concluded that there is an apparent relationship among fiber composition and biochemical properties of the pectoral muscles, and flight habits in bats.
