I have talceii tliem from tlie roofs of outliouses, and in wide caves 

 in limestone-rocks, but they appear to fly only during the warmer 

 months of summer, remaining (at least such is the case at Mussoorie) 

 in a semitorpid state during the winter."

Anterior nose-leaf well developed. Median leaf or sella expanded 

 in front, covering the nostrils ; the transverse erect process narrow, 

 and the longitudinal erect crest thicker and higher than usual and 

 the same height as the transverse process ; the upper edge of the 

 longitudinal process rounded, the posterior termination in a deep 

 hairy subcruciform hollow, which occupies the middle of the pos-

 in outline, the surface covered with long hairs. The lower lip 

 divided by three grooves. 



The wings are from the ankles or from just above them. Inter- 

 femoral membrane concave or straight behind ; tip of the tail 

 projecting. Second upper premolar separated from the canine by 

 a space, in the middle of which stands the small first premolar :
