and Species of Mammalia. 25? 



Fam. LEMURiDiE. 



Lemur coronatus. Ashy above, limbs and beneath pale yellowish ; 

 face white ; orbits gray ; cheeks and forehead bright rufous, with a 

 large black spot on the crown ; tail thick, end blackish. 



Hab. Madagascar. Brit. Mus. 



Cheirogaleus Smilhii. Pale brown ; streak up the nose and fore- 

 head, the chin and beneath paler ; tail redder. 



Hab. Madagascar. Brit. Mus. 



This species differs from the Ch. typicus of Dr. A. Smith in the 

 British Museum, in being much smaller and differently coloured, 

 that being gray-brown ; head redder brown ; orbits black ; cheeks 

 and beneath white. 



Galago minor. Pale gray ; back rather browner washed, beneath 

 whitish ; tail elongate, depressed, narrow. 



Hab. Madagascar. Brit. Mus. 



Not more than half the size of Galago Senegalensis. 



Fam. VESrERTILIONIDjE. 



Phyllophora megalotis. The groove of the lower lip not fringed on 

 the edge ; fur blackish, rather paler beneath ; nose-leaf large, ovate- 

 lanceolate, longer than broad ; ears very large, as long as the head, 

 rounded ; fore-arm bone 1" 3'" ; body and head 2 inches. 



Hab. Brazils. Brit. Mus. 



Phyllostoma elongata. The front of the lower lip with a large tri- 

 angular space divided by a central groove ; ears rounded, large ; 

 tragus slender, lanceolate ; nose-leaf elongate, lanceolate, tapering. 



Hab. Brazils. Brit. Mus. 



Sturnira, n. g. 

 The tail and interfe moral membrane wanting ; nose-leaf lanceolate, 



simple ; tragus distinct, inner surface of the lips bearded on the 



sides ; hind feet large ; lower lip with a single larger wart sur- 

 rounded by a series of small ones. America. 



Sturnira Spectrum. Fur brown, with darker tips to the hairs, be- 

 neath pale whitish ; membranes dark blackish. 



Hab. Brazils. Brit. Mus. 



Rhinolophus Morio. The front central lobe of the nose-leaf large, 

 3-lobed ; fur reddish brown. 



Hab. Malacca, Singapore. Brit. Mus. 



Very like R. luctus in general appearance, but that species is de- 

 scribed as black, with a slight ashy tinge ; but perhaps the colour 

 may have been changed by the specimen having been taken from 

 spirits. 



Scotophilus. 



I am inclined to confine this genus to the species which have 

 the wings attached to the ankle as far as the base of the toes ; as S. 

 Temminckii and S. fulvus of Asia, which have the interfemoral mem- 

 brane smooth ; as S. serotinus, S. discolor, S. Leisleri, and S. muri- 

 nus of Europe, and S. lobatus of India, which have cross lines of hair 

 on the under side of the interfemoral membrane.
