phalanx of the third digit, and the foot smaller. Forearm 

 80-5-87-5 mm. 



Bange. — Himalayas (Nepal), extending southward over 

 the Indian Peninsula (Pondichery), eastward through Bengal, 

 Burma, Siam (Lao Mts.) to S. China (Amoy). 



Ti/i)e in the Paris Museum. 



Peters's Cynonycteris infuscata. — Type locality : " ange- 

 blich aus Calcutta" (a dealer's specimen) ; type in the Berlin 

 Museum (no. 361). " Sehr ahnlich der C. Leschenaultii, in 

 alien Verhiiltnissen kleiner, dunkelbraun von Farbe, mit 

 scbwarzen Krallen und dem ersten falschen Backzahn grosser" ; 

 detailed measurements given ; forearm 68, third metacarpal 42, 

 tibia 29 mm. The type, I am informed by Prof. Matschie, 

 is a young, not full-grown individual (" die Epiphysen an 

 den Fingergelenken sind noch nicht mit den Phalangen 

 vervvachsen," Matschie, in litt.) ; hence its small size. 



5. Bousettus seminudus, Gray. 

 1870. Xantharpyia semimida, Gray, Cat. Monk. &c. p. 115 (Ceylon). 



Similar to R. Leschenauiti, but p^ deciduous, nape and 

 shoulders seminaked, general colour of fur lighter. Forearm 

 79-85"5 mm. 



Range. — Ceylon. 



Type in the British Museum. 



Gray^s Xantharpyia seminuda. — Type locality : Ceylon. 

 " Fteropus seminudus, Kelaart," is a nomen nudum ; in the 

 paper usually referred to by authors, viz. Blyth''s account in 

 J. A. S. B. xxi. p. 345 (1852), on a collection of mammals 

 sent by Kelaart to the Asiatic Society of Bengal, it appears 

 only as a synonym, without comment, of Ph. Leschenauiti ; 

 the same is the case in Kelaart^s * Prodromus Faunae Zey- 

 lanicse ' (1852). The name remained a nomen nu'lum, until 

 in 1870 (/. s. c.) Gray published a brief diagnosis of 

 "Xantharpyia seminuda'^; the British Museum specimen 

 on which Gray based this diagnosis is, therefore, the type of 

 the species.
