102 Dr. T. Horsfield on some new or little-known 



iu his catalogue as a synonym of that species, while he remarks, 

 that " none of the specimens examined by us were of the dimen- 

 sions given by Mr. Hodgson." 



Mr. Hodgson describes the colour of the fur for the most 

 part of a clear, deep slaty-blue above, and sordid buff below, 

 and that of the eye very dark. Females resemble males. The 

 expanse of the wings is 1 ft. 6 in. The dimensions are given 

 in detail at page 894. 



2. Rhinolophus perniger, Hodgs. J. A. S. xii. 414, xvi. 896. 



Rhinolophus perniger, Hodgs. apud Blyth, J. A. S. xiii. 484. 



Discovered by Mr. Hodgson in the central regions of the 

 Sub-Himalaya, and described in vol. xii. of the Journ. As. Soc. 

 Beng. ; also briefly noticed by Mr. Blyth. As yet a rare 

 species in collections. According to comparisons made at the 

 British Museum, it resembles the Rh. trifoliatus. 



3. Rhinolophus tragatus, Hodgson. 



First described in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. iv. 699 ; Gray, Cat. 

 Mamm. Br. Mus. p. 22 ; Cat. Hodgs. Coll. p. 2 ; Blyth, Journ. 

 As. Soc. Beng. xiii. 484. A new subject in the Company's 

 museum. 



4. Hipposideros armiger, Hodgs. J. A. S. iv. 699; Gray, 



Cat. Mamm. Br. Mus. p. 24; Cat. Hodgs. Coll. p. 3; 

 Blyth, J. A. S. xiii. 488. 



Although nearly allied to Rh. {Hipposidei'os) nobilis of Hors- 

 field, it deserves the rank of a distinct species. It is larger 

 than the Javanese species, and its peculiarities are pointed out 

 by Hodgson and Blyth. 



5. Vespertilio siligorensis, Hodgson. 



Muzzle pointed, with a moustache on the upper lip. Ears 

 oval, slightly emarginate and somewhat pointed ; tragus elon- 

 gate, acute. Wing-nieuibrancs arising from the base of the 

 toes. Fur above uuiform dark brown, below dark brown tipped 

 with pale brown. Membranes brown. Fore-arm 1 in. 3 Hnes. 

 Tibia 6,j lines. Longest finger 2 in. 4 lines. 



Obs. — Very nearly allied to, if not identical with, the V. mysta- 

 cinus of Europe. 



6. Vespertilio darjelingensis, Hodgson. 



Very nearly allied to the former, but differing in having the 

 cars more emarginate, with a distinct lobe at their base; in 

 having the tibia somewhat shorter, with the fur of the upper
