ON THE NEW-GUINEA MAMMALS. 173 



The genus Rhinolophus was hitherto unrepresented in New- 

 Guinea. This species is closely related to Rh. megaphyllus from 

 the Australian Continent and the Louisiade Archipelago. In 

 all important respects the two species are on the same level 

 of development. But externally Rh. fallax is readily dis- 

 tinguished by its broader horse-shoe (Andersen). 



16. Hipposideros diadema Geoffroy. 



Hipposideros Gray, 1831 (Palmer, 1904, p. 327), is an 

 elder name for Phyllorhina. D'Albertis collected a specimen 

 of this species at Andai, N. W. New-Guinea (Ann. Mus. 

 Genova, 1880, p. 692). Mr. OldBeld Thomas (Ann. Mus. 

 Genova, 1897, p. 608) found in Dr. Loria's collection, made 

 in British New-Guinea, 19 specimens from Haveri, near 

 Mount Wori-Wori, and 1 specimen from Aroma, east from 

 the mouth of the Kemp Welch-river. This species seems 

 to have been found from the Himalaya to Ceylon, Indochina, 

 over the whole Malayan-Archipelago to the Philippines 

 and New-Guinea. 



17. Hipposideros galeritus Cantor. 



Known from the Indian Continent and the eastern parts 

 of the Malayan-Archipelago. Peters and Doria (Ann. Mus. 

 Genova, 1880, p. 693) said that d'Albertis collected speci- 

 mens from the Fly-river, S. W. British N. G. 



18. Hipposideros tricuspidatus Temminck. 



Dobson (P. Z. S. L. 1878, p. 876) found in the col- 

 lections of the Paris-Museum several specimens belonging 

 to this species, obtained by M. Raffray in New-Guinea. 

 This is the first recorded instance of this species having 

 been found in this island, which, however, it was to be 

 expected to inhabit, as it had been noted from Batchian, 



JS'otes from the Leyden Miuseuxn, Vol, XX."VIH.
