Mr. O. Thomas on Mammals from 



unique incisors, ^he short bi- and tricuspidate canines, and the 

 multicuspidate molars separate it widely even from these, 

 and render it one of the most isolated of all the genera of 

 the group. 



Harjyyionycteris Whiteheadi, sp. n. 



Size about as in Xantharpyia amplexicaudata. Fur soft, 

 close and woolly, especially posteriorly. General colour of 

 the fur all over above and below a uniform chocolate-brown, 

 a little darker on the face, and a little lighter on the nape and 

 shoulders. Wing-membranes dark, with a few whitish spots 

 scattered about tliem. Ears of medium length, rounded at 

 their tips. Fur of the back extending thinly on to the fore- 

 arms and covering the hind limbs densely down to the roots 

 of the claws. Interfemoral membrane barely a tenth of an 

 inch wide, wholly buried in the fur. 



Dimensions of the type (an adult skin of doubtful sex) : — 

 Forearm 84 millim. ( = 3%'3 inches); head and body 140; 

 ear 17; index-finger and claw 60; tliird finger, metacarpal 

 59, first phalanx 44, second phalanx 54. 



Skull : basal length 37*5 ; greatest breadth 23*8 ; inter- 

 orbital breadth, tip to tip of postorbital processes 6*9. Front 

 of canine to back of ^^ 17. 



Hal. Mindoro, Philippines, alt. 5000 feet. 

 Coll. J. Whitehead, December 1895. 



Mr. Whitehead is to be congratulated on this interesting 

 addition to the splendid discoveries he has already made in 

 the Philippine Islands. 



Rhinolophus Creaghi, sp. n. 



Size medium. Nose-leaf widely different from that of any 

 other species by the fact that while usually, in Dobson's 

 words, the upper margin of the connecting process of the 

 sella is conjoined with the summit of the vertical process at 

 the same level, or exceeds it posteriorly in height, in the 

 present species the connecting process is almost obsolete and 

 is far overtopped by the anterior vertical process. Above 

 the low connecting process, on the front face of the sella, 

 there is a prominent tuft of brown hairs, projecting forwards 

 and overhanging the anterior vertical process. The latter 

 process is spatulate, narrower below, broadening out in the 

 middle, pointed above. Internarial lappets rounded. Hori- 

 zontal nose-leaf broad, just about covering the muzzle. 

 Lower lip with three grooves. Ears large, sharply pointed
