 ami from the i^l;l^(ls in the tiiilf, but they do not give any 

 definite reasons why they call their specimens /////////io.yM.v and 

 not coffer. In these eirenmstanees I am much in(icl)t(!fl to 

 Dr. Jcntink titr havini; kindly j^iven me some cranial and ev- 

 tcrnal measurements ot the t\[)c oi' fii/'(/i)iosu<{, <m thcstren;;ih 

 of mImcIi I am al)le to deHnitely set'k' the identifieation of 

 Temmmck's specie*. The true //. fitliyiiwsus is specimen 

 " b" in Dol)son's Catalogue (p. 1 U)), a male, obtained in Oid 

 Calabar. This cxaini)le and the type in the Leiden Museum 

 are the only specimens k lown to me, with certainty, to exist 

 in any eolhction. All ot'.er reconls of II. JuI'kj'iudhus in liter.i- 

 tnrc — in so far as the authors give any inUjrmation (ajjart from 

 localities) aljont the specimens which they call H.fuliyinosv.^, 

 and provided that the intbrmation when given touches any 

 characteristic feature — seem to rest on confusion with some 

 race or other of //. cuff'er, mostolten, probably, M'ith the race 

 described below as H. caper yniiu-cnsis, which lives in the 

 same region as H. Jiili(/i'io-'^t/.'<, sometimes, it would seem, wiiii 

 II. c. rentrdl'is or uiujolensis. The true II. fu/ii/iii'j.sus may be 

 briefly described Jis follows : — ^jimilar to h. cajjer in the 

 general shape of the no e-leaves, the number of lateral 

 leaficts (two), and the wing-structure, but differing, at a 

 glance, by the much larger skull and teeth, by ii.e markedly 

 iiirger size, by the, al>o |)i()portionately, much lon;;ei' loot, 

 and by the absence, in either sex, of a frontal sac; range, so 

 far as hi'herto known, from Old (,'alabar to the Gold Cua.Nt. 

 This brief diaguosis, combined with the detailed measure- 

 ments given below (p. 282), will easily prevent its confusion 

 \\\\.\\ any rac* or species of the ca^'tr type.
