 those on h)\ver hack 1V5 mm. Colour above sepia-ljrowi!, 

 that of horxfieUli being blackish ; under surface paler brown ; 

 the in;;uinal rf;;ion brownish whit", instead of more or less

 Jiehli. Feet decidedly larger, and in correlation with this 

 the wing-membrane docs not extend so far, being inserted 

 about opposite the base of the calcar. 



Skull and feetli quite like those of horsjiehlt, p^ similarly 

 crushed in between the apprdxiniated />' and (/ above, and 

 j^i in the tooth-row below, about one-third tho area of ^j,.

This species, although some of the specimens of it had 

 been referred by Dobson to the much larger L. adversus^ is 

 really very closely allied to the L. Jiorsjieldioi Java, Sumatra, 

 and Borneo, but may be distini^uishcd by its larger feet an(l 

 browner colour. 'Ihe West Australian L. macropus is, as 

 shown by its type, very decidedly larger than L. moluc^ 

 carum, and is indeed so strikingly like the Javan L. adversua 

 that, with the imperfect material available, I can perceive no 

 satisfactory reason for its distinction, a conclusion to which 

 Dobson came in 1878. 



Leuconoe lepidus, sp. n. 



A dark-coloured species with narrow brain-ca^'e. 



General characters as in />. hor.-<Jitldi. Colour blackish, 

 the membranes dark brown. Ears al»out as in horsjitldi, laid 

 forward their tips barely reach to the end of the nose. 

 Wings to the side of tho metatarsus. Calcar reaching about 

 two-thirds of the distance to the tip of the tail. 



Skull in general like that of horsfiddi, but the brain-case 

 less inflated, low and narrow, the diflerence esjjccially marked 

 in contrast with other Burnean examples of the group, which
