22. KERIVOULA FORMOSA. 



Vesp. formosa, Hodgson, J. A. S. B. iv. p. 700. 



Kerivoula formosa, Gray, Cat. Nip. Mam.; Cat. Mamm. Brit. 

 Mus. 



Hub. Nipal, Dehra Doon, and Lower Mussooree. 



This handsome species, which was discovered by Mr. Hodgson in 

 Nipal, occurs plentifully in the Dehra Doon, and at Mussooree, up 

 to about 5500 feet. 



Carpus of a male 1 J-§ in. ; tibia \^ in. ; ear \\ in. ; feet large, and 

 in the wing to the base of the outer toe, in the interfemoral to the 

 ankle ; tip of the tail free. 



A female had the carpus 1-^-g- in. ; tibia -}-§ in. ; ear \\ in. ; nose to 

 tail 2-ff in. ; tail 2 in. ; total 4\§ in. ; tragus half the length of 

 the ear ; ears diverging outwards, obtusely pointed, outer margin 

 sinuate; nostrils at the end of the muzzle, slightly divergent; 

 muzzle clothed, depressed. Taken in July. 



Mr. Hodgson gives : — " Snout to rump 1\ in. ; tail 2 in. ; total 

 4|-iu. ; expanse 12^ in. ; teeth -4-, j-^-, 1^-^=38." 



The membranes, fingers, and ears are, in fresh or living specimens, 

 bright ferruginous orange, except between the ringers, where the cen- 

 tral line of the membranes is dusky black, contrasting strongly with 

 the light orange ; a small irregular dusky spot on the wing near the 

 shoulder; face ferruginous yellow ; body from the shoulders down- 

 wards ashy or dusky grey, with a faint tinge of ferruginous ; head 

 and breast paler ; the claws and ends of the toes black ; face rather 

 obtusely sharp and projecting. 



When preserved in spirits of wine, the orange-colour which gives 

 so much beauty to the animal very shortly fades away. 



Mr. Blyth notices another species from Central India, under the 

 name of K. pallida, but by some curious error describes the tail as 

 being " 15 inches," or 1| foot ! — the animal being about the size of 

 the above. 



23. Harpyiocephalus huttonii, Peters, n.sp. 



This species occurs at about 5500 feet elevation on the outer 

 southern range, but does not appear to be very common in the hills, 

 judging from the paucity of specimens procured ; and the Dehra 

 Doon is probably its true locality. 



Colour above light snuff-brown, somewhat paler beneath; carpus 

 l^in. ; tibia \\ in. ; tail 1 T 6 ^ in . ; nose to tail 2^ in. ; total length 

 3^4 in. ; expanse of wing about 10 in. ; foot in the wing to the end 

 of the second joint of the outer toe ; interfemoral attached to the 

 ankle, hairy externally, but nude beneath, with numerous cross 

 lines. 



The nostrils are subtubular and divergent, divided by a slight 

 notch ; and the ears are at the side of the head, rather large, and 

 rounded at the summit ; extreme tip of tail exserted beyond tbe 

 membrane; tragus subfalciform, narrow towards the summit; feet 

 somewhat hairy externally.
