Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell — Descriptiom and 



here under consideration are on a higher level of development 

 than the Oriental Rh. mucrotis : in several important cranial 

 characters^ in the dentition, in the wing-structure. I have 

 pointed out elsewhere that also the other Ethiopian Rhino- 

 lojihi, without any exception, have their more jjrimifive rela- 

 tions in the Oriental Region. Thus the general conclusioD 

 arrived at may now be briefly formulated as follows : — All 

 the Ethiopian I'e^^resentutives of the genus Rhinolophus are of 

 Orieyital origin.
