Ti/jie, in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, $ subad. al., skull 

 extracted, obtained in the Andamans (?8. Andaman Island) by 

 Dr. F. Stoliczka, no. 75 of Dobson's, no. 99 a of J. Anderson's 

 Catalogues. Skull, lam])da to gnathion 28*5, rostrum, orbit to 

 nares 7"0, mandible 2l"8, c-m^ (crowns) 10, forearms broken, third 

 metacarpal 4U"5, ear from orifice 14"5, tibia 21 mm, Dobson's 

 statement that C. hraclujsomn is at once distinguished bj- th(^ 

 " presence of a rounded lobe at the base of the outer margin " 

 of the ear is erroneous ; a distinct small antitragal lobe is present 

 in all species of Cynopto'us, 



Cynoi^terus man/inatus var. andixmaneiisis, Dobson ; 1873. — 

 Type locality, Andaman Islands ; cotypes, nine alcoholic specimens 

 collected by Tytler (in 18G4), J. Wood- Mason (1872), and J. Homfray 

 (1872) ; seven (or six) of these are in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, 

 two in the British Museum. Measurements of the two latter (those 

 of the adult male without, those of the subadult female within, 

 parentheses): Skull, lambda to gnathion 31(28"5), rostrum 7"8(7'2), 

 mandible 23-2(21), c-m' (crowns) 10-8(10), forearm G(3(59), third 

 metacarpal 42 (40), ear from orifice 15 (13), tibia 24 (21) mm. 

 Dobson figures the ear of this form without any trace of antitragal 

 lobe (J. A. S. B. xlii. pi. xiv. fig. 5, 1873 ; Mon. As. Chir. p. 26, 

 1876) ; in both of the cotypes in collection the lobe is well- 

 develo[>cd. C m. var. andamanensis was by Dobson in 1876 (I. c.) 

 considered identical with 0. " brachyotus." Neither of these names 

 occur in his British Museum Catalogue (1878).
