Jlab. Kuatun, Fokien, China. 



Type. Adult male. B.M. no. 8. 8. 11. 6. Collected 2lst 

 Sept., 18LI6, and presented by F. VV. Styan. Seven speci- 

 mens, all from Kuatun, presented by J. D. la Touche and 

 F. W. Styan. 



A fresh skin of true M. huttoni, recently obtained by the 

 Bombay Survey from Kumaon, is very much greyer than the 

 uniforndy rutous series from Kuatun. And the same is the 

 case with a skin from Darjiling presented by B. H. Hodgson. 



Dobson assigned M. huttoni to Milne-Edwards's M. leuco- 

 gaftter, but that animal is very considrrably larger, its forearm 

 41 mm., and its skull (as tigured) 20 mm. 



Ktrivoula flora, sp. n. 



General characters of K. hardu:ickei, but larger and more 

 robust throughout. Colour, distiibution of fur, and structure 

 of ears and tragus as in that species, so far as can be made 

 out on a spirit-specimen. 



Skull essentially as in hardwickei, but decidedly lar^^er. 

 Brain-case rather more inflated anteriorly than posteriorly. 

 Muzzle as in typical Kerivoula, not as in Phoniscun. 



Teeth similar in proportions to those of K. hardwickei, the 

 canines not enlarged as in K. myrella, but, if anytliin;>-, 

 rather smaller in proportion than in K. hardwickei. Pre- 

 molars as in the latter sptcios.

 men j : —
