Rli. afflnis is readily distin^-uislied from Rh. rouxi — m 

 species with which it has abriost always been contused — by its 

 })andiirate sella (in Rh. rouxi the sella is practically jiarallel- 

 niargined), by its more distinctly cuneate lancet (in Rh. rouxi 

 the lancet is hastate), by the lengthening of tlie second phalanx 

 of the third digit (in Rh. rouxi less, in Rh. affinis more, than 

 I 4" ^^^^ length of the first ])halanx) , and by the shortening of 

 the palatal Jjridge. 



Rli. ferrum-equinum, which has also a pandurate sella and 

 lengthened second phalanx of the third digit, differs from Rh. 

 afflnis in having p- external to tlie tooth-row or wanting (in 

 Rh. affinis p^ is situated in the tooth-row), in a peculiar shorte- 

 ning of the third metacarpal, and in th(> beginning or complete 

 ()1)1 iteration of the lateral chin grooves. 



Rh. affinis is distributed, in various races, from the X. ^^^ 

 Himalayas to S. China, through Indo-China, N. Natunas, and the 

 Malay Peninsula, to Sumatra, Java, and Lombok. 



The particular race here under consideration, Rh. a, superans, 

 is as yet known from Lower Siam, the Malay Peninsula and 

 Sumatra, and ^characterised chieHy by the broad horse-shoe and 

 nasal swellings. Both of these peculiarities reach a climax in the 

 siili mon^ eastern Rh. a. princeps, K. And., from Lombok.
