156 Mr. O. Thomas on 



upper and lower outer incisors all very much of the same 



size in cross section. 



Dimensions of the type * (an adult male in spirit) : — 

 Head and body 240 millim. ; head 78; ear (above head) 



15; tip of nostril to eye 26 ; forearm 143 ( = 5'6 in.) ; skull, 



basal length G'S, greatest breadth 39 ; supraorbital foramen to 



tip of nasals 2G'5. 



Two specimens obtained. 



Pteropus Woodfordi, sp. n. 



Closely allied to Pt. molossinus, Temm., but readily dis- 

 tinguishable by its pale grey head, dull rufous nape, pale 

 yellow collar, and generally greyish colour as compared to the 

 \\ holly uniform dark reddish-brown colour of that species. 

 Ears also less sharply pointed and hairier. 



Canines both above and below markedly slenderer than 

 in Pt. molossinus J and anterior premolars smaller and placed 

 further from the second premolars. Molars also narrower and 

 lighter. 



Dimensions of the type (male) : — 



Head and body c. 150 millim.; ear \\'b\ forearm 99 

 ( = 3*9 in.) ; skull, basal length 36"8. 



Seven specimens obtained. 



Anthops, g. n. 



Allied to Hipposideros t, especially to the AseUia group of 

 that genus, but distinguished from it by its rudimentary tail, 

 which precisely resembles that of Calops, consisting of only 

 some three or four slender transparent vertebrte hidden in the 

 base of the interft moral mtmbrane and not reaching one half 

 the distance towards the back of the membrane. Nose-leaf 

 very complicated, its upright portion emarginate above, the 

 projections not pointed as in AseUia^ but rounded and hollow 

 behind. 



Skull and teeth as in Hipposideros. 



Anthops omafuSj sp. n. 



Posterior nose- leaf tridentate, the projections each foiming 

 a little spherical cup, opening backwards ; front surface of the 

 leaf divided into four compartments by three very distinct 



* A single specimeu in each case is selected from tlie series as the 

 " type," in order to avoid any possibility of future confusion. 



t As tlie genus conmionlv known as ^^Phyllorhina " should be called 

 (see Blanford, P. Z. S. 1887)"
