Dentition, I. t ; C. | ; P.M. f ; M. f . 



Many species are provided with a sac behind the nose-leaf, which can be everted 



at pleasure. The sides of the sac secrete a clammy substance, like the galar sac 



secretion of Taphozous, and its extremity supports a pencil of haiis of which the ends 



alone project, when the sac is inverted. 



P. AKMIGERA, HodgSOn. 



Hipposideros diadema, Cantor. 

 F. tiivmhoei, Peters.

 ■wings measuring nearly two feet across from tip to tip. Colour dark brown, usually 

 paler towards the base of the hairs. 



Adult male — head and body 4-2 ; tail 2-1 inches. 



From Nipal to the Khasi Hills and China (Amoy), and doubtless found in suitable 

 localities in Burma.

This species is distinguished from the last by its considerably smaller size, by 

 the upper transverse nose-leaf being simple, and not lobed as in that species, and by 

 the incised front edge of the horseshoe, which in /'. nrmiyera is invariably plain.

The concave front surface of the terminal nose-leaf is dividend into two cells 

 only, by a median vertical ridge. From the under surface of the sym[)hysis of the 

 mandible, a small conical bony process projects downwards, about equal to the lower 

 canine tooth in vertical extent, and covered by skin. In otluT respects resembles 

 P. diadema, of which it is probably a race, if not a mere imlividual variety.
