2\oo new Species of Leucouoe. 171 



and velvety ; hairs on shoulders almost 6 mm. iu length, 

 those on lower back 3"5 mm. Colour above sepia-brown, 

 that of Jiorsfieldi being blackish ; under surface paler brown ; 

 the inguinal region brownish wiiite, instead of more or less 

 clear white. Ears and tragus apparently quite as in hors- 

 JielcU. Feet decidedly larger, and in correlation with this 

 the wing-membrane does not extend so far, being inserted 

 about opposite the base of the calcar. 



Skull and teeth quite like those of horsjieldi, p^ simihirly 

 crushed in between the approximated p^ and p^ above, and 

 p^ in the tooth-row below, about one- third the area of pi. 



Dimensions of the type : — 



Forearm 40 mm. 



Skull : greatest length 15'4 ; breadth of brain-case 7*5 ; 

 front of canine to back of ?n^ 5*9 ; front of p^ to back of 

 m^ 3-5. 



Dimensions of a spirit-specimen from Port Essiugton : — 



Forearm 41 mm. 



Head and body 55 ; tail 39 ; ear (inner edge) 13 ; tragus 

 5*3; tibia 17*5 ; hind foot (c. u.) 13. 



Hab. East Indian Archipelago from Celebes to the 

 Solomons and North Australia. Type from Ara, Kei 

 Islands. 



T>/pe. Adult male. B.M. no. 10. 3. 1. 29. Original 

 number 854. Collected July 1909 by W. Stalker. 



This species, although some of the specimens of it had 

 been referred by Dobson to the much larger L. adversus, is 

 really very closely allied to the L. horsjieldi oi Java, Sumatra, 

 and Borneo, but may be distinguished by its larger feet and 

 browner colour. The West Australian L. macropus is, as 

 shown by its type, very decidedly larger than L. moluc^ 

 carum, and is indeed so strikingly like the Javan L. adversus 

 that, with the imperfect material available, I can perceive no 

 satisfactory reason for its distinction, a conclusion to which 

 Dobson came in 1878. 



Leuconoe lepi'dus, sp. n. 



A dark-coloured species with narrow brain-case. 

 General characters as in L. horsjieldi. Colour blackish, 

 the membranes dark brown. Ears about as in horsjieldi, laid 

 forward their tips barely reach to the end of the nose. 

 Wings to the side of the metatarsus. Calcar reaching about 

 two-thirds of the distance to the tip of the tail. 



Skull in general like that of horsjieldi, but the brain-case 

 less inflated, low and narrow, the difference especially marked 

 in contrast with other Bornean examples of the group, which
