membrane is the same as in /wctus, and similarly notched in front. 
The foremost of the two elevated appendages is nearly the same, but 
the lateral lobes at the base are less produced and considerably 
smaller; joining these lobes on each side is a small membranous 
fold extending outwards and backwards, and is attached to the 
horse-shoe membrane. The posterior lobe is lanceolate and more 
pointed than in ductus, has a transverse fold near its base as in that 
species, and is joined to the anterior truncated elevated lobe by 
a longitudinally elevated membrane. The height of the posterior 
lanceolate lobe is 3} lines, and of the anterior lobe 23 lines, or rather 
more. On the side of the muzzle is a longitudinal fleshy ridge. ‘The 
chin presents four warts, two at the tip and one on each side of these. 
The extreme point of the tail is free, the free portion being however 
not more than half a line in length. 
Lastly, Mr. Waterhouse called attention to a new species of Me- 
gaderma. 
MecapermMa Puiuiprinensis. Meg. supra cinereo-fuscus, subtis 
cinereus ; prosthemate verticali, fere ovali, ad apicem subtruncato, 
horizontali, pauld minori, cordiformi; auribus permagnis, trago 
elongato, attenuato, acuto, ad basin, antice, lobo mediocri acuto in- 
structo.

This species, of which Mr. Cuming’s collection contains several 
specimens, agrees closely with the M. trifolium of Geoffroy in having 
the foremost nose-leaf broader and the hinder one shorter and broader 
than in M. Lyra; but it differs from the M. trifolium in the form of 
the tragus of the ear, this not presenting the character which sug- 
gested the specific name; it differs moreover (judging from M. Geof- 
froy’s figure) in having the ears considerably larger, and not quite 
so deeply cleft. The whole length of the divided nose-leaf is 52 
lines, of which the anterior cordiform portion is rather less than half; 
the greatest width of the posterior portion is nearly 34 lines, and of 
the anterior portion 32 or nearly 33 lines. The length of the tragus 
of the ear is 83 lines; it is very narrow and acutely pointed, and at 
the base has a small nearly triangular lobe about two lines in 
length. 
The specimens from which my description is taken are preserved 
in spirit, consequently the proportions given of the nose-leaf, &c. are 
likely to be more accurate than were they preserved in a dry state. 
Mr. Fraser pointed out the distinguishing characters of a new 
species of Partridge which had recently died at the Society’s mena- 
gerie. Several specimens of this species, for which Mr. Fraser pro- 
: * I measure the height of the ears externally from the crown of the 
ead.
