laminz ; the upper, overlying lamina deeply emarginate in front, 
the opposite sides of the emargination turned upwards, and sup- 
porting the anterior portion of a broad, flat, longitudinal crest 
which ends in a triangular head above and between the nostrils. 
The hinder portion of the nose-leaf arises from a thick root imme- 
diately behind the nostrils ; the base is hollow containing a single 
cell, the opening to which is guarded by a lanceolate process of 
membrane. The crest is trident shaped, consisting of a central, 
lanceolate process, similar to that below, but longer, and two 
lateral and somewhat broader projections, parallel to it, and 
nearly equal to it in length. On each side of this hinder 
nose-leaf are six cells of which one is situated behind and at its 
side, immediately above the eye, occupying the position of the 
minute pores observed in nearly all the animals of Gray’s 2nd 
group. 
The form of the ears, and the place of attachment of the outer 
margin are also remarkable, as well as the peculiar shape of the 
bones of the arm in the neighbourhood of the elbow joint. 
For the new genus Mr. Dobson proposes the name TZii@nops, 
and for the species persicus.

The second new species belongs to the genus Pipistrellus, Gray. 
It approaches P. serotinus, but differs from it in the shape of the 
tragus, colour of the fur, &c.—Ears large, triangular, outer margin 
faintly hollowed out below the tip, and emarginate opposite the 
base of the tragus, terminating by forming a small lobe; tragus 
rather long with subacute, rounded tip, and almost straight inner 
margin; fur above dirty buff, beneath pale buff.

The minute upper pre-molar, placed inside the line of the teeth, 
so commonly seen in the species of the genus to which this bat 
belongs, is not discernible in either of the two specimens brought 
from Persia.
