374 Dr. K. Andersen on new Bats of the 



me to confirm my description of the metatarsal glands and 

 to substantiate the correctness of my supposition as to the 

 structure of the fore feet, published in 1910. The fore feet 

 are exactly like the hind feet, except for the absence of the 

 metacarpal glands. Pedal glands are absent. A piece of 

 the skin of the inguinal region of the same specimen showed 

 two pairs of mammae, but no trace of inguinal glands, thus 

 agreeing with the dried skins in the British Museum. 

 Hence it may be concluded that Owen's statement that 

 inguinal glands are present in the genus is erroneous; and 

 since he affirmed at the same time the existence of large 

 preorbital glands, which, according to universal testimony, 

 are absent, it seems obvious that the specimen he examined 

 did not belong to the genus JEpyceros at all, but was 

 probably some large form of Gazella. 



XXXIV. — Diagnoses of new Bats of the Families Rhino- 

 lophidge and Megadermatidse. By Knud Andersen. 



[At the request of Dr. Knud Andersen, who expects to be 

 absent from his scientific work for some time, the following 

 diagnoses are published, mostly in the form of extracts from 

 the synopses of species prepared by him for the second 

 volume of the ' Catalogue of Chiroptera.' 



By this method the exact relationship of the species to 

 their nearest allies is readily seen, together with the cha- 

 racters distinguishing them. 



The ''groups" in which the species of Ehinolophns are 

 placed are those recognized (though under different names) 

 in Dr. Andersen's " List of the Species and Subspecies of the 

 Genus Rhhwlophus"*, 1905.— U. T.] 



Genus Rhinolophus. 



Eh. meyaphyllus group. (Called simplex group in the 

 'Annals' paper, 1905.) 



a'. Connecting' process higher posteriorly than 



anteriorly (at junction with sella). 



a 1 . Ears longer, 16-5-21 mm. (inner margin). 



General size larger; forearm 40-49 mm. 



a 3 . Nose-leaves larger: breadth of sella at 



base 2 - 5-3 mm., of horseshoe 9 10-5.
