Analysis of colour : the tips of the hairs of the upperside 

 have a grey iridescence ; when keeping the skin so that the 

 reflections disappear^ the triie colour proves to be a deep 

 brown shade of ^' drab " ; base of hairs scarcely lighter. 

 Underside of the same general colour as the upperside, but 

 without, or almost without, grey reflection. Interfemoral 

 between the tip of the tail and the calcar^ narrowly bordered 

 with yellow. 



Measurements^. — On p. 257. 



Type. — ? ad. (skin). Sarawak. Collected by Dr. A. R. 

 ^Vallace. Tomes Collection (no. 19). 



Distribution. — Sarawak (Brit. Mus.) ; Pahang (Uu. St. 

 Nat. Mus.). 



Remarks. — Externally this species is exceedingly like a 

 very small Rh. trifoUatus, but the tibia is shorter. In the 

 shape of the skull it is very much nearer to Rh. jMlipphi- 

 ensis and achilles. 



2. Rhinolophus lanosus, sp. n. 



Diagnosis. — Similar to jR^. seduhis, but very much larger. 

 Forearm 71*5 mm. 



Skull. — In the shape of the sagittal crest, the small 

 temporal fossa, the narrow maxillar width, and the small 

 teeth, this very large species bears much resemblance to 

 Rh. 2)hilippinensis. But the postnasal depression is deeply 

 hollowed out as in the sedulus and trifoUatus type (corre- 

 sponding to the enormously developed nose-leaves). 



Dentition (one skull). — p-f,\n. row; p.i and/i^ well separated; 

 p- in row, cusp extremely small. 



Colour. — ? ad. ; teeth slightly w^orn ; skin : as in 

 Rh. sedulus. 



Type. — ? ad. (skin). Kuatun f, N.W. Fokien, China; 

 April 4th, 1898. Presented by J. D. LaTouche, Esq. Brit. 

 Mus. no. 98. 11. 1. 1. 



Remarks. — As proved by the skull, this fine species is an 



* Only the foUowino- measurements require some explauation : — Ears, 

 length from base of inner margin to tip. Second phalanx, exclusive of 

 the cartilaginous terminal rod. Skull, total length, inion to front of 

 canines. Width of brain-case, above root of zygomata. Maxillar width, 

 across antero-external corner of m^. Supraorbital length, from posterior 

 point of postnasal depression to median anterior point of nasals. Man- 

 dible, condylus tn front of incisors. Upper and loiver teeth, exclusive of 

 incisors. 



t An excellent characteristic of this Chinese village and its sur- 

 roundings was contributed bv Mr. La Touche to the Proc. Zool. Soc, for 

 1898 (pp. 769-70).
