Q, P. Keraudrenius^ Quoy and Gaim. 



10. P. griseus^ Geoff. 



11. P. personaius. Size of the last. Ears moderately long, 

 rather rounded at the end ; interfemoral membrane rudimentary. 

 Pure white on the back of the neck, extending beyond the eyes, 

 and forming a spot behind them ; and also on the cheeks, the lips, 

 and the chin : the throat is covered by a broad brown zone, the 

 extremities of which surround the cheeks, form broad eye-brows, 

 and extend themselves in two parallel lines which terminate at 

 the nostrils : occiput, neck, and part of the breast, straw-coloured : 

 .shoulders whitish : back griseous, with a few light brown hairs: 

 ^airs of the under surface cottony, brown at their base, and isa- 

 Jjel la-coloured at their tips. It inhabits the Moluccas. 



12. P. melanocephalus. Very small, the extended membranes 

 measuring only eleven inches. Ears small, short, and rounded ; 

 interfemoral membrane rudimentary, nearly hidden by the fur ; 

 snout very short. Back of the neck, occiput, and snout, black ; 

 hairs of the back yellowish white at the base; dark cinereous at 

 the apex ; of the under surface, yellowish white. Membranes 

 dark brown. It was found in Java by Van Hasselt. 



** Snout rather elongated and slender : tail rudimentary, al- 

 most imperceptible, not extending beyond the interfemoral mem- 

 brane. Frugivorous. 



13. P. minimus^ Geoff. The P. rostratus of Dr. Horsfield is 

 said to be synonymous with it. The figure of the Kiodote of M. F. 

 Cuvier is also referred to it. The details of the teeth and tongue 

 of the latter, which has been regarded as the type of the genus 

 Macroglossusy are stated by no nreans to agree with the Javanese 

 «pecimens.
