breadth of brain-case 13*2; palatilar length 13"3 ; palatal 

 foramina G'3; upper molar series -A'C. 



Ilah. Mfiimbiro reiiion, S.AV. Uganda. Type and para- 

 tvpe from Kioezi. Alt. 6000'. Another from MariUianga, 

 8200' {Prittie). 



Type. Adult male. Original number 2022. Collected 

 21 St April, 1911, by Robin Kemp. 



This species appears to be the representative in the 

 Mfumbiro Mountains of the L. icoosnami of Ruwenzori. It 

 was first obtained (in February 1911) by Capt. the Hon. 

 F. E.. D. Prittie, of the Anglo-German Boundary Com- 

 mission, to whom the Museum owes a number of specimens, 

 and in whose honour I have named it.

2aphozous grantij sp. n. 



Allied to T. saccoJaimus. Colour reddish brown. Skull 

 smaller and proportionally broader. 



Size rather less than in saccolaimus. No radio-metacarpal 

 pouch. Gular sac represented in female by a sharply defined 

 naked space on the throat, Avith distinct edges; no doubt 

 there is a well- developed pouch in the male. Fur short ; 

 Lairs of back about 3-4 mm. in length, those of the sides of 

 the neck about 5 mm. Distribution of fur apparently as in 

 SGCCo/aimiis. General colour above deep reddish brown 

 (*n)urnt umber "), mottled with a number of irregular whitish 

 patcnes ; bases of hairs paler. Under surface paler brown 

 (near " russet"). 



Skull decidedly shorter than that of saccolaimus, but much 

 broader in proportion, the zygomatic breadth equalling that 

 in the larger skull. Forehead not deeply excavated. Post- 

 orbital processes of type very long. Posterior palate with 

 the median palatal notcli (palation) decicedly posterior to the 

 lateral palatal edges, as in T. saccolaimus, all other species 

 that I have been able to examine having the palation level 

 with or anterior to the lateral palatal edges. Posterior part 

 of floor of mesopterygoid fossa smooth, without the deep 

 sharp median groove found in T. saccolaimus ; sphenoid pits
