616 MR. R, SWINHOE ON CHINESE MAMMALS. [June 23, 
(P. Z. S. 1863, p. 375); is called in Chinese Me-shuy, and said 
to come from the south-west part of Kwangtung Province. 
CHIROPTERA. 
The Bats I procured during my last residence in China I sub- 
mitted to Prof. W. Peters of Berlin, who has kindly supplied me 
with the names of those known, and with descriptions of the new 
species. In the following list Dr. Peters’s notes are placed within 
inverted commas. 
5, © CyNONYCTERIS AMPLEXICAUDATA, Geoffroy.’ (Flying Fox.) 
A female of this frugivorous Bat was brought to me at Amoy in 
May 1866. It was dead, but had a live young one still fastened to 
its breast. The young animal was more than a third the size of the 
mother, covered with soft fine hair on the upper parts, and nearly 
naked below; its colour was brown, like that of its parent, but did 
not show the nuchal band. I never saw but these two specimens. 
6. MreGapreRMA Lyra, Geoffr, (Lyre-nosed Bat.) 
A pair of this fine species were captured in an outhouse at Amoy. 
I have seen them of a summer’s evening flying very high over the 
town of Amoy. 
7, “ PHYLLORHINA AURITA, Tomes;” P.Z.S. 1859, p. 76. 
(Large-eared Leaf-nose. ) 
This Large-eared Leaf-nose is common at Amoy in May; and I 
have a good series of them. A smaller short-eared species I pro- 
cured two of in the celebrated cave at Kelung (N. Formosa), and 
sent home in spirits (P. Z. 8. 1864, p. 381).

nose.) = rT an Owens ee , eo: 
“Ph. maxima, auriculis acuminatis, apertura frontali parva, prosthe- 
mate ferro-equino multo angustiore, foveis quatuor insigni ; cauda 
crure longiore ; supra fusca vel fuliginosa, collo gastr@oque pal- 
lidioribus. 
“‘ This species is of the same size as, or still larger than Ph. dia- 
dema, Geoffr. (= Ph. insignis, Horsf.), but easily to be distinguished 
by the form of its upper nose-leaf, which is much narrower than the 
horseshoe and the middle nose-leaf.
