Gray as inhabiting India. It dift'ers from the last in being 

 rather sniallc r, and of a l)r()\vn colour above, nmch paler at the 

 base of the hairs and at their extreme tips, and lighter-coloured 

 below : the cars more apieuhited, or rather they a|)pear so from 

 being strongly emarginated externally towards the tip ; the tail 

 and interfemoral membrane would likewise seem to be shorter, 

 but the latter has been witlidrawn from the skin in the dry spe- 

 cimen before me, which, as before mentioned, was received from 

 Arracan. Length of fore-arm two inches and a quarter, and of 

 tibia an inch ; ears anteally three-quarters of an inch, and nearly 

 as much broad. 



4. H. speoris : Vesp. speoris, Schneider, but evidently not of 

 M. Desmarest, which is Rh. marsupialis of M. Geoflfroy's lec- 

 tm'es, founded on the Rhinolophe crumenifei-e of Lesson and Le- 

 sueur: Rh. duklmneiisis, Sykes, P. Z. S. 1831, p. 99: H. api- 

 culatus, Gray, the male, and H. penicillatus, Gray, the female, 

 Mag. Zool. and Bot. No. 12. For description, vide Elliot in 

 Madi-as Journal, No. 24. p. 98. Colour nearly as in //. urmiger 

 (v. nohilis ?) : length of fore-arm two inches, and of tibia an inch. 

 Inhabits Southern India. 



This species is approximated to H. insignis (Horsf.) in Mr. 

 Gray's paper, and it may be the doubtfully cited //. insignis from 

 Ceylon of Mr. AVaterhouse's ' Catalogue of the Mammalia in the 

 Zoological Society's Museum.' 



Others have the facial crests altogether less complicated, and 

 no fringes of membrane exterior to the nose-leaf. 



5. H. fulvus, Gray, Mag. Zool. and Bot. No. 12 ; Rh. ful- 

 gens, Elliot, Madras Journal, No. 24. p. 99. — This is perhaps 

 the most vividly coloured of the whole class of Mammalia; 

 at least I know of no species which can at all compete with it 

 for brilliancy of hue. The colour of the fur is here alluded to, 

 for that of the naked skin of the mandi-ill and of certain Cerco- 

 pitheci can scarcely be sur])assed. The general tint of the fur is 

 splendidly bright ferruginous, that of the upper parts being 

 slightly tipped with a darker shade ; membranes dusky. Length, 

 according to Mr. Elliot, an inch and nine-tenths ; of tail nine- 

 tentlis of an inch ; expanse ten inches and a half; weight 4 dr. 

 20 gr. : fore-arm an inch and five-eighths ; longest finger one and 

 a half; tibia three-quarters of an inch; foot (minus claws) a 

 quarter of an inch ; ears anteally eleven-sixteenths of an inch, 

 and the same across ; their form scarcely apiculated. Inhabits 

 Southern India, where very rare. 



6. H. murinus, Gray, ibid. ; Rh. murinus, Elliot, ibid. — This I 

 have not yet seen, but shortly expect some specimens from Mr. 

 Jerdon, who informs me that it is common at Nellore. It closely 

 resembles the last in all but colour, but has the crest-membranes
