244 Mr. 0. Thomas on Mammals from 



unique incisors, the short bi- and tricuspidate canines, and the 

 multicuspidate molars separate it widely even from these, 

 and render it one of the most isolated of all the genera of 

 the group.

Size about as in Xantharpyia amplexicaiidata. Fur soft, 

 close and woolly, especially posteriorly. General colour of

 shoulders. Wing-membranes dark, with a few whitish spots 

 scattered about them. Ears of medium length, rounded at 

 their tips. Fur of the back extending thinly on to tiie fore- 

 arms and covering the hind limbs densely down to the roots 

 of the claws. Interfemoral membrane barely a tenth of an 

 inch wide, wholly buried in the fur. 



Dimensions of the type (an adult skin of doubtful sex) : — 



Forearm 84 millim. ( = 3*3 inches); head and body 140; 

 ear 17; index-finger and claw 60; third linger, metacarpal 

 59, first phalanx 44, second phalanx 54.

Coll. J. Whitehead, December 1895. 



Mr. Whitehead is to be congratulated on this interesting 

 addition to the splendid discoveries he has already made in 

 the Philippine Islands. 



Rkinolophus Creaghij sp. n. 



Size medium. Nose-leaf widely diflferent from that of any 

 other species by the fact that while usually, in Dobson's 

 words, the upper margin of the connecting process of the 

 sella is conjoined with the summit of the vertical process at 

 the same level, or exceeds it posteriorly in height, in the 

 present species the connecting process is almost obsolete and 

 is far overtopped by the anterior vertical process. Above 

 the low connecting process, on the front face of the sella, 

 there is a prominent tuft of brown hairs, projecting forwards 

 and overhanging the anterior vertical process. The latter 

 process is spatulate, narrower below, broadening out in the 

 middle, pointed above. Internarial lappets rounded. Hori- 

 zontal nose-leaf broad, just about covering the muzzle. 

 Lower lip with three grooves. Ears large, sharply pointed
