I am unable to concur in the reasons wbich iuduced Dobson 

 and Peters to prefer Harpyiocephalus to lUurina, both names lla^■i^g 

 been proposed in the same paper ; but it appears to me better to 

 continue the use of the first term now that it has, through Dob- 

 son's important monographs, obtained general acceptation,

 Ilarpiocephalus tubinaris, Scully, P. Z. S. 1881, p. 200. 



Muzzle narrow, elongate, hairy. Ears moderate, rounded off at 

 tlie tips; tbe outer margin is slightly emarginate in its upper 

 third, tbeu moderately convex, again slightly con\ex opposite tlie 

 middle of the tragus, and it terminates in a convex lobe in front 

 of the base of the tragus ; inner margin convex, with a distinct 

 spur-like process projecting near the base. Tragus moderately 

 long, tapering abo\'e, where it curves outwards ; a small pointed 

 lobule above the base of the outer margin, succeeded by a well- 

 marked emargination ; above this the tragus attains its greatest 

 breadth, outer margin above this straight at first, tbe upper half 

 concave ; inner margin nearly straight at the base, the upper two 

 thirds concave. 



AV^ings from tbe side of tbe proximal phalanx of the outer toe ; 

 extreme tip of tail ^n'ojecting. Interfemoral membrane naked 

 above except at the base between the tliighs ; wing-membraiies 

 clothed close to the body. 



Outer upper incisor distinctly shorter than the inner. First 

 upper premohar shorter than the second, which is nearly as high 

 as the cauine ; last molar a simple transverse plate.
