RHINOLOPHUS UILDEBRANDTII Peters. 



1878. Rhinolophus hildebrandtii Peters, Mon.-ber. K. Preues. Akad. Wiss., Ber- 

 lin, p. 195. (Ndi, British East Africa; type in Berlin Museum.) 

 Specimens. — Two, in alcohol, from: 

 British East Africa: Ulukenia Hills (Loring). 

 One of these specimens is an old male, with forearm measuring 64 

 millimeters; the other is quite young and is considerably smaller. 

 The species is readily distinguished from its near relative, R. eloquens, 

 by its much larger size.

 1910. Rhinolophus hildebrandti eloquens Roosevelt, African Game Trails, Amer. 



ed., p. 474; London ed., p. 486. 



Specimens. — Forty, from the following localities: 

 British East Africa: Lake Naivasha, 25, including 15 in alcohol 

 (Mearns, Heller, Loring); Nyuki River, Northern Guaso Nyiro, 14, 

 including 10 in alcohol (Heller); Southern Guaso Nyiro River, 1 in 

 alcohol (Heller). 



The Naivasha specimens were taken from a cave»near the south 

 end of the lake. The Nyuki River specimens were captured by 

 Heller in a rock cave on the lower river. Doctor Mearns records 

 seeing these bats flying among the trees at Lake Naivasha at twi- 

 light. Andersen ^ refers specimens from Machakos and Kenia to 

 Rhinolophus hildehmndtii rather than to R. eloquens. These speci- 

 mens from British East Africa, as may be seen from the accompany- 

 ing table of measurements, agree well in size with true eloquens from 

 Uganda, and run far too small for Mldehrandtii. 



RHINOLOPHUS KENIENSIS HoIIister. 



Plate 10, figs. 11, 12. 

 1916. Rhinolophuslcenie7isis'H.OLLisTER, Smithsonian Misc. Coll., vol. 66, No. 1, p. 2. 

 February 10. (Mount Kenia, British East Africa; type in U, S. Nat. Mus.) 

 Specimen. — One, the type in alcohol, from— 

 British East Africa : West side of Mount Kenia (Heller) . 

 This form is closely allied to Rhinolophus augur of South Africa, 

 and will doubtless prove to be a subspecies, intergrading through 

 R. a. zambesiensis . The latter has been recorded from Mount Kili- 

 manjaro by Doctor Lonuberg ^ and by Mr. Oldfield Thomas.' 



RHINOLOPHUS LOBATUS Peters. 



1852. Rhinolophus lobatus Peters, Reise Mossambique, Saugethiere, p. 41. 

 (Sena, Portuguese East Africa; type in Berlin Museum.) 



Specimens. — Twenty, from localities as follows; 

 British East Africa: Kijabe Station, 19 in alcohol (Loring); Lake 

 Naivasha, 1 (Loring).
