Karura Mammal List (draft)

Thanks to all corresponding mammal experts for help in ID-ing the Karura mammal photos. Below is a composite list a variation of which we would like to use to caption the photos in our Facebook Mammals album. Work in progress. The Primates are, of course, a bit of a muddle, and was not sure which authority to follow: this one or this one? Or something else?

Can someone help with species of bush squirrel and epauletted bat?   Many thanks.
