genus Uroderma, and may be readily distinguished from the 

 other two, A. planirostris and hilohatus, by its nose-leaf being 

 bound down to the muzzle in front as well as by the detailed 

 differences in external structure and dentition above described. 



XLIX. — Note on Mexican Examitles o/Chilonycteris Davyi, 

 Oray. By Oldfield Thomas. 



With the specimens of Oeomys Bulhri described in the 

 August niunber of the ' Annals ' {supra, p. 196) Dr. A. C. 

 Buller has sent to the Museum five specimens of a Chilo- 

 nycteris apparently referable to the Trinidad and Brazilian 

 G. Davyi ^ ^I'^y, but distinguished at the same time by their 

 brilliant fulvous-chestnut colour and by their slightly smaller 

 size. The species was incidentally recorded from Mexico by 

 Prof. Peters in his paper on the group *, but no Mexican, or 

 even Central American, specimens have previously come to 

 England. On direct comparison now with the tyj)e from 

 Trinidad and with Dominican and Venezuelan specimens I 

 have come to the conclusion that the Mexican ones ought to 

 be subspecifically separated on the colour and size characters 

 above mentioned, and would propose for them the name of 

 Ch. Davyi fulvus, subsp. n. The brilliant fulvous colour is 

 not unlike that of male specimens of Nataliis stramineus, but 

 does not seem to be, as in that animal, a sexual character, 

 for Dominican examples of both sexes are of precisely the 

 same greyish or brownish hue. 



. The forearm of the type measures 43 millim. in length, and 

 in the four other specimens 42*5, 43'5, 44, and 45. 



Dr. Buller obtained the specimens at Las Peuas, west coast 

 of Jalisco, on the 20th November, 1891. 



L. — Two new Buprestidasyro?^ Damma Island. 

 By Chaeles O. Wateehouse. 



Among the insects collected by Mr. J. J. Walker during the 

 cruise of H.M.S. * Penguin ' is a small collection made at 

 Damma Island, north-east of Timor. The species are mostly 

 small, and will require much time to determine ; but two fine 



tinguisLable with that animal, however, from A. Hartii by the characters 

 of its nose-leaf. It is also somewhat larger, having, as Dr. Matschie, of 

 the Berlin Museum, kindly informs me, the second skull-measurement 

 above given 7'5 millim., and the third 9'9 or 10 ; its forearm measures 

 47 millim.
