46 MamMatiA OF INDIA. 
No. 42, RHINOLOPHUS PEARSONII. 
Pearson's Leaf-Bat (Jerdon’s No, 20). 
Hasitat.—Lower Himalayan range, Darjeeling, Mussoorie, &c. 
DEscRIPTION.—Colour above dark brown, with a slight shade of 
chestnut ; underneath brown, with a sooty cast ; fur very long, dense and 
soft ; ears distinct, with an additional rounded lobe below, measuring 
anteriorly nearly three-fourths of an inch; point of the facial crest 
moderately developed ; length from the tip of the nose to root of tail 
three inches ; tail half an inch ; length of fore-arm two inches ; expanse 
of the wings eleven inches. Although allied to Mr. Hodgson’s &. 
tragatus, possesses distinct characters.—Horsfield. 
S1ze.—As given by Horsfield above. 
This bat was first sent from Darjeeling by Mr. J. T. Pearson, and 
was named after him. It has also, according to Jerdon, been found 
by Captain Hutton at Mussoorie; it is therefore reasonable to suppose 
that it inhabits the whole range of the lower Himalayas. One striking 
difference between ii and the last species is the very short tail, and it is 
easily to be recognised by the great length of the fur. 
No. 43. RHINOLOPHUS AFFINIS. 
The Allied Leaf-Bat (Jerdon’s No 21). 
Hapitat.—Ceylon, Burmah, and perhaps the Malabar coast. 
Description.—Above bright red ferruginous brown; tips of hair 
darker, paler beneath ; ears pointed and external; edge deeply emargi- 
nated ; internal edge and basal third of external surface hairy ; anti-helix 
well developed; nasal process apparently very similar to that of &. 
mitratus (Kellaart). Upper leaf triangular, emarginate at the tip, 
reaching above the base of the ears (/erdon). 
S1ze.—Head and body about 2,3, inches ; tail, 1 inch; wing extent, 
12 inches. 
This bat seems to vary much in colour. Kellaart says some are of a 
brighter red than others, and a few had a vellower tinge. Another 
marked variety was of a uniform pale yellow brown. 
No. 44. RHINOLOPHUS ROUXI. 
The Rufous Leaf-Bat (Jerdon’s No, 22). - 
Hapitat.—India generally. 
DEsCRIPTION.—Ears large, pointed, externally notched ; tragus broad ; 
tips of upper nose-leaf triangular, with its sides well emarginate, reaching 
above the base of the ears ; no upper incisors [as in Aegaderma Lyra] ;
