CHTROPTEBA. 1 I 



Order CHIROPTERA. 

 Suborder MICROCHIROPTEEA. 



Family EHINOLOPHID^. 

 Genus RHINOLOPHUS, Geoffroy 1 . 

 Dentition: I. \, C. j, Pm. |, M. |. 



fnTum-tijuinum (Schreb. 2 ). 

 Syn. Vespertilio ferrum-equinum, Schreb. 3 

 Hob. Europe, Asia, and Africa. 



15082-92. Fragments of the cranium and mandible ; from Kent's- 

 Hole Cavern, Torquay. These specimens are mentioned 

 by Owen in the ' History of British Fossil Mammals and 

 Birds,' p. 16. McEnery Collection. Purchased, 1842. 



Rhinolophus antiquus, Filhol 4 . 

 Hob. France. 



M. 1346. Palatal portion of the cranium, showing the cheek-dentition 

 of both sides ; from the Tipper Eocene of Caylux (Tarn- 

 et-Garonne), France. A figure of the upper dentition is 

 given by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. vii. pi. xi. 

 fig. 2 ; but in that specimen the minute pm. 3 is not 

 shown. This tooth is present in the British-Museum spe- 

 cimen, and is wedged in between the canine and pm- 4 ? 

 which are almost in contact. In this respect, therefore, 

 the species agrees with the R. ferrum-equinum section 

 of the genus 5 ; but it will be shown to differ in the denti- 

 tion of the lower jaw. Purchased, 1884. 



M. 1640. Cranium, with the mandible attached ; from the Upper 

 Eocene of Caylux. This specimen is much obscured by 

 matrix ; and the minute pm. 3 is not visible. 



Purchased, 1884.
