depend on their having been taken in different seasons. 

 Apart from this they agree with Dobson's description. 



Miniopterus sclireibersi japonios, Thomas. 



21 (J, 27 ? . Tainan, Formosa; October 1906. 



This genus has not before been recorded from Formosa. 

 The specimens in the collection agree best, as regards size 

 and colour, with Thomas's * description of this species. I 

 will only remark that the length of head and body of these 

 specimens varies from 50 to 56 mm. 



Rhinolophus monoceros, Andersen. 



2 (J . Kagi, Takao, Formosa ; May, October, 1907. 



Only one species of the genus Rhinolophus, R. monoceros, 

 represented by a single specimen, has hitherto been recorded 

 from Formosa. In his paper " On Bats of the Genus Rhino- 

 lophus" f Andersen gives a short description of this specimen 

 (a not full-grown female), the only one known to him. 



There are two Rhinolophi in the collection submitted to 

 me for determination ; both of them are males. I have iden- 

 tified them as Rhinolophus monoceros, with which species the 

 connecting-process, the size, and the locality agree rather 

 closely. 



The connecting-process is somewhat broader at the base 

 and not quite so slender in one specimen as in the other, 

 which entirely agrees with Andersen's text-figure 22, c, p. 121 

 (I. c.) ; but as I cannot find any other notable difference, I 

 have not hesitated to refer it to the aforesaid species. 



As the specimen described by Andersen is a female and 

 only a few measurements are given by him, I hope the following- 

 table will be of some use : —
