1877. ] FROM DUKE-OF-YORK ISLAND. 121 
corresponding tooth in the upper jaw, but still very small, and simi- 
larly placed close to the canine, and separated from the second pre- 
molar by a wide space equal to the distance between the lower canines ; 
second lower premolar scarcely larger than the third, and separated 
from it by a wide space; third premolar close to the first premolar ; 
molars close together, very narrow, their roots and those of the other 
teeth in both jaws visible through the exceedingly thin translucent 
alveoli (figs. 6 and 7). 
The molar teeth in this species appear to be proportionally 
smaller than in any other known species of Megachiroptera, while 
the canines are longer and stronger.

Rhinolophus tricuspidatus, Temminck, Monogr. Mammal. ii. p. 20, 
pl. 32. figs. 11, 12 (1835-41). 
One specimen of this small species with fur bright reddish brown 
above and beneath. P. tricuspidatais probably the smallest species 
of Rhinolophidz, and has hitherto been recorded from the Moluccas 
and Amboyna only.

The single specimen in the collection agrees with individuals of 
this species from the Oriental Region in having the tail almost wholly 
included in the interfemoral membrane, and not with the very closely 
allied P. cervina from Australia, which has the last and half the 
antepenultimate caudal vertebra free. It is therefore very doubt- 
ful if P. cervina can be considered distinct from this species. 
As P. galerita is also found in the Peninsula of India and in 
Burmah, its geographical distribution is very wide, much wider than 
that of any other known species of Rhinolophide ; for although P. 
speoris was described by Zelebor under the name of P. taztiensis, we 
are not absolutely certain that the specimen so named was really ob- 
tained at the island Tahiti.
