6 CHEIROPTERA. 



Rhinolophus Euryale, BJasius. 



Rhinohjjhus Euryale, Blasius, Wirbeltli. Deutsclilands. 

 Die rundkcanmige Hvfeisennase, Blasius, L c. 



Description. — This species, discovered by Professor Blasius 

 in Lombardy in 1847, very closely resembles the following 

 in general appearance, size, colour, and habits, as well as in 

 its geographical distribution. The teeth are 32 in number, 

 and are said to differ in several minute particulars from 

 those of R. clivosus, but only in those specimens where 

 they are not worn by use. The shape of the nasal follicle 

 also differs ; but I am obliged to confess that the transla- 

 tions from the article of that learned natiu-alist's work 

 which I have made myself and obtained from others, fail 

 to convey a distinct idea on that point. His figure of the 

 follicle of R. clivosus shows two small teeth in the centre 

 of the outer margin of the horseshoe, which are wanting 

 in the figure of the present species. The ears are longer 

 in proportion, reaching considerably beyond the snout when 

 pressed to the head, whereas in R. clivosus they only just 

 reach it. The tail is also longer. 



Entire length, 2 inches 7 lines ; tail, 1 inch ; extent of 

 wing, lOi inches. 



The general colour of the fur is light whitish below, 

 darker above, and shaded with a smoke-brown tinge. 



It is found only south of the Alps, occurring near Milan 

 and the Lago di Garda, at Trieste, and Spolatro in Dalmatia.
