 The species range from Tibet and Grilgit to Ceylon and the Malay 

 Archipelago, keeping to the hill-tracts.

I am unable to concur in the reasons which induced Dobson 

 and Peters to prefer Harpyiocephalus to Murina, both names having 

 been proposed in the same paper ; but it appears to me better to 

 continue the use of the first term now that.it has, through Dob- 

 son's important monographs, obtained general acceptation.

Muzzle narrow, elongate, hairy. Ears moderate, rounded off at 

 the tips; the outer margin is slightly emarginate in its upper 

 third, then moderately convex, again slightly convex opposite the 

 middle of the tragus, and it terminates in a convex lobe in front 

 of the base of the tragus ; inner margin convex, with a distinct 

 spur-like process projecting near the base. Tragus moderately 

 long, tapering above, where it curves outwards ; a small pointed 

 "lobule above the base of the outer margin, succeeded by a well- 

 marked emargination ; above this the tragus attains its greatest 

 breadth, outer margin above this straight at first, the upper half 

 concave ; inner margin nearly straight at the base, the upper two 

 thirds concave. 



Wings from the side of tbe proximal phalanx of the outer toe ; 

 extreme tip of tail projecting. Interfemoral membrane naked 

 above except at the base between the thighs; wing-membranes 

 clothed close to the body. 



Outer upper incisor distinctly shorter than the inner. First 

 upper premolar shorter than the second, which is nearly as high 

 as the canine ; last molar a simple transverse plate. 



* Mr. O. Thomas has just fouud, he informs me, amongst Mr. Fea's collec- 

 tions from Karennee, a new Harpyiocephalus allied to H. auratus from Eastern 

 Tibet. A description will be published in the Annali Mus. Civ. Geneva, 

 ser. 2 a, vol. i.
