188 REPORT— 1880. 



Jones's record (I.e.). Examples from Buenos Ayrea have lately been 

 added to the collection of the British Museum, giving another locality to 

 the species, and showing how very widely it is distributed in the New 

 World. 



Haiyiocephahts suillvs, Temm. 



Add Mount Willis, Java, 2500 feet, to the localities of this species 

 (Baron von Hiigel and 0. Thomas, Br. Mus.).

 head 0"-85, ear 0"-65, tragus 0"-38, forearm l"-6, thumb 0"-6, third 

 finger (metacarp. 1"'5, 1st ph. 0"-7, 2nd ph. 0"-9), fourth finger (meta- 

 carp. l"-4, 1st ph. 0"-55, 2nd ph. 0"-5), fifth finger (metacarp. l"-45, 1st 

 ph. 0"-6, 2nd ph. 0"-45), tibia 0"-65, calcaneum 0"-55, foot 0"-48. 



Sab. Yedo, Japan. Type in the collection of the Berlin Museum. 



With the exception of II. harpia, this is the largest known species of 

 the genus. In the synoptical table of the genus (' Catal. Chiropt. B. M.* 

 p. 2/7), it may be arranged thus : — 



I. First upper premolar much smaller than the second Suhg. JMurina. 



a. Upper third of the outer margin of the ear- 

 conch concave, forearm l"-35 . , \. H. suilhts. 



h. Upper third of the outer margin of the ear- 

 conch flatly emarginate, forearm l"-6 . 2. H. liilgendorfi . 



c. Upper third of the outer margin of the ear- 

 conch convex, forearm 1"-1 . . . 3. Zf auratvs. 



Harpiocephalus liarpia, Temm. 



Add also Mount Willis, Java, to the localities of this species (Hodgson 

 and 0. Thomas, Br. Mus.). 



Vesperfilio capaccinii, Bonap., var. V. macrodactylus, Temm. 



Dr. W. Peters, who in 1866 demonstrated the identity of Bonaparte's 

 and Temminck's types, having obtained a well-preserved specimen corre-
