6 RIIINOLOPHID^. 



with two nipple-shaped appendages slightly in front of the pubis. 

 Tail distinct^ produced to the posterior margin of the interfemoral 

 membrane. 



Sub-Family I.— EHINOLOPHIN^. 



First toe with two, remaining toes with three, joints each ; ilio-pectinal 

 spine not connected by bone with the antero-inferior surface of the 

 ilium. 



So far as is known, this sub-family is not represented in Sind; but it 

 is not improbable EhinoIojiJtis affinis, HorsJ., and Rliinolophis minor , 

 Horsf., may occur. 



Sub-Family II.— PHYLLORHININ^. 



Toes equal, with two phalanges each ; ilio-pectinal spine united by 

 a bony isthmus, with a process derived from the antero-inferior surface 

 of the ilium forming a large pre-acetabular foi*amen.

Nose-leaf complicated, consisting of three portions, anterior, posterior 

 and intei-mediate ; the anterior horseshoe-shaped, as in Iihinolophus, but 

 not similarly emarginate in front ; posterior erect, with a convex, 

 lobed, or incised free edge, concave in fi^ont, the concavity simple or 

 divided by nax-row vertical ridges ; the intermediate, usually broadly 

 cordiform with the base upwards, the sides thickened, the centre with 

 or without a projecting point or longitudinal ridges in front.

Plate I. 



Ears nearly as long as the head, subacutely pointed, broad ; lower 

 two-thirds of the inner and outer margin of the ear-conch almost equally 

 convex, the outer margin concave immediately beneath the tip, the 

 remaining part convex. Upper margin of the transverse erect nose- 

 leaf divided into three thickened projections, the concave front surface 

 beneath divided by three longitudinal bands; sella cordate, prominent'; 

 horseshoe-shaped membrane circular and raised in front, not divided ; 

 two secondary leaves on the sides of the muzzle parallel to the horse- 

 shoe. 



Wings from the lower third of the tibiee ; interfemoral membrane 

 short, square behind; the last osseous caudal vertebrge and half the 

 antepenultimate vertebrte free. Fur above pale yellowish white, with 

 brown extremities ; beneath, wholly yellowish white or pure white. The 

 first minute upper pi-emolar deciduous.
