RHINOPOMA HARDWICKII. 29 



Length of fore-arm, 1-^- ; ears posteriorly, J- of an inch. 



Blyth states, that this is larger than murinus, but the fore-arm as given 

 is much shorter. It may prove to be a local race of H. murinus, and 

 has only been found in the Punjab salt range. 



H. larvatus, Horsfield, is common in Sylhet, Burmah, and Malayana ; 

 and Cantor gives H. nobilis, insignis, diadema, and galeritus, from the 

 Malay peninsula. Gould has one species from Australia.

Char. General characters of Rhinoloplms, but the tail and calcanea

 depth of a line even with the knees. Ears, large, broad, rounded ; the 

 summit of the facial membranes rising abruptly, obtusely bifid, bent 

 forward ; fur, long, delicately fine.
