 or less of an intense reddish or gi-ayish brown above, assuming a golden 

 lustre in certain lights, of a lighter gi-ayish brown beneath ; hairs smaller 

 than the last, but similar 'in form ; clear and transparent in balsam. This 

 may probably not be the true RMnolophus diadema of Geffroy. — (PI. 11,

 other species. (PI. 2, fig. 23, large Mir.) 



30. — HIPPOSIDEROS NOBILIS. Hors/.—Q Noble Horse-shoe Bat.')— 

 Bunnese and Malay countries. — " Colour above pure brown, and underneath 

 brown variegated with gray ; the fur is long and silky, and supplied with a

 outline ; scales cylindrical, expanded, entire, slightly undulated at the margin ; 

 small hairs regular, with a scarcely serrated outline ; scales cylindi-ical,

 Tiair.)
