weakly infuscateil, and less tinged with chestnut ; axillary part of 

 the membrane, from between the clljow to the Hank inehisive, 

 covered with longer and whitish hairs. Face, ears and mem- 

 brane washed with dusky; the portion of membrane between 

 the hind-leg and proximate linger narrowly edged with whitish. 

 One specimen purchased of a bazar shikarree is so much darker, 

 that before 1 had olitained a good series of T. lonyimanus, I had 

 some doubt whether it ought not to be refeiTcd to that species; 

 and such an example nuiy have Ijeen the original lunrjimarms of 

 Harduieke, described as of a snulT-brown colour : but this name 

 had better now remain as I have appropriated it. In general, 

 the present species is of a tolerably bright chestnut hue. Like 

 the preceding one (to which it is closely allied), the male has a 

 very large throat-sac, the ears bend upwards, and the tail is 

 straight and rigid, not recurved as in T. Cantori, and also as in 

 the following species. The specimens which I formerly described 

 had been long soak(!d in spirit, which seems to ha\ e discharged 

 the colour from the face and membranes ; and one of them which 

 1 have had taken out and stuffed, has the under-parts more uni- 

 formly coloured, the longer hair iipon the membrane towards the 

 axilla, and that of the abdomen, scarcely differing in hue from 

 that of the breast ; whereas in the recently procured cxamjdes 

 here described, the difference of coloiu* in these parts is very 

 consj)icuous. 



T. crassus, nobis. — This is a well-marked species, having the 

 recurved tad of T. Canton, and ears bending upwards as in lon- 

 gimanus and fulvidus. It is particularly distinguished by its 

 blackish colour, and the broad dull white margin of the mem- 

 brane between the tibia and proximate linger ; this margin in- 

 creasing much in depth as it recedes from the finger-tip, and 

 merging gradually into the black of the rest of the membrane, 

 becoming at first mottled with the latter. Length to end of tail 

 four inches, the membrane reaching five-eighths of an inch be- 

 yond ; tail three-quarters of an inch, the terminal five-sLxteeuths 

 proti-usile and recurved; expanse fifteen inches and a half; fore- 

 arm two and five-eighths ; first phalanx of longest finger two 

 and a half; tibia an inch ; foot large, measiu'ing with claws 

 eleven-sixteenths of an inch ; the sac little developed. Ears five- 

 eighths of an inch apart at base anteriorly. Fur of the ui)per- 

 parts black, or dark blackish brown, a little hoary at the tips, 

 and light brown at the extreme base ; under-parts inclining to 

 ashy black, and more grizzled ; membranes dusky, with the ex- 

 ception of the whitish margin described. On the particulai- 

 specimen before me are some pure white dashes on one side of 

 the back, being traces of ])artial albinism. The nostrils appear 

 to be quite closed by a valve, which would open at the will of the
