 being chestnut for about six inches in preussi ; its median 

 part darker grey than in preussi. 



Bab. Fernando Po. TyP e f l ' om N. Bantabiri, 1800 m. 



Type. Immature female. B.M. no. 4. 7. 1. 5. Original 

 number 165. Collected 9th March, 1904, by E. Seimund. 

 Presented by the Fernando Po Committee. (Selected for 

 type as being a proper specimen with skull and all particulars, 

 but two native skins of adult examples agree with it in every 

 detail of colour.) 



A fine specimen of true Kamerun C. preussi recently col- 

 lected by Capt. Boyd Alexander has enabled me to make a 

 comparison of our Fernando Po specimens f with the con- 

 tinental form, and I find there is enough difference to demand 

 their subspecific separation. 



Rhinolophus brochmani, sp. n. 



A very pale-coloured species, allied to R. lobatus and 

 dobsoni. 



General characters as in R. dobsoni, the nose-leaf ap- 

 parently quite as in that species. Colour remarkably pale, 

 the hairs of the upper surface white with a brown tip about 

 a millimetre in length, and of the under surface wholly white 

 from base to tip. 



Skull as compared with that of R. dobsoni rather longer 

 and narrower, with a more elongate brain-case. Opening of 

 posterior nares rather broader. 



Cheek-teeth markedly smaller, the molars (particularly 

 m 3 ) narrower, and the inner lobe of m 1 and m 2 smaller, so as 

 to have a larger space between each tooth. Small upper 

 premolar large, in the centre of the unusually extended space 

 between the canine and />*, a space double as broad as in 

 R. dobsoni. P 4 with its antero-external corner projecting 

 forward in front of the anterior edge of the narrow inner lobe, 

 the latter being in R. dobsoni practically the most anterior 

 part of the tooth, no angular external projection being pre- 

 sent ; inner lobe of the same tooth much narrower than in 

 R. dobsoni. 



Dimensions of the type (the starred measurements taken 

 in the flesh) : — 



Forearm 44 mm. 



Head and body* 45 ; tail" 54 " 26 ; ear* 18. Third finger, 

 metacarpus 29 ; 1st phalanx 14, 2nd phalanx 25 ; lower leg 

 and foot (c. u.) 27.
