244 SOME CHINESE VERTEBRATES. 
race of the noctule bat, to which I have provisionally applied Hodgson’s name. 
““Vespertilio labiata” was very briefly described by Hodgson in the Journal of 
the Asiatic society of Bengal, 1835, 4, p. 700, from the ‘‘central region of Nipal,” 
as “saturate brown throughout; skin wherever denuded purpurescent.” ‘‘Teeth 
22 11 66. snout to rump three inches; tail two.” It is said to be “closely 
affined to M. Geoffroy’s noctula,” with which Dobson, in 1878, considered it 
synonymous. Jerdon, four years previously had done the same, and in his 
‘Mammals of India” gave its measurements as:— length 43 to 5 inches; tail, 
nearly 2; forearm, 173 = about 46 mm. Barret-Hamilton has recently de- 
scribed under the name of P. montanus a noctule bat from Mussoree, north- 
western Himalayas, to which Hodgson’s name may be applicable although its 
measurements seem a trifle less (forearm 42.5 mm.). Our two specimens from 
Hupeh and Szechwan are very similar to P. noctula, but darker throughout, 
nearly Prout’s brown above and slightly paler below, the hairs practically uni- 
color to their bases. The immature specimen from Ichang is slightly the darker 
with a faint gloss to the upper surface. It is also albinistic in that the tips of 
both ears are white. The adult from Kweifu measures:— forearm, 49 mm.; 
thumb, 8; second metacarpal, 52.5; third metacarpal, 52.5; fourth metacarpal, 
50.5; fifth metacarpal, 42. The forearm of the immature specimen measures 
46 mm.; its skull is similar to that of P. noctula with the first upper premolar 
very small (not fairly prominent as in P. leisler’) and hidden in the angle between 
the canine and the upper second premolar. 
RHINOLOPHIDAE. 
RHINOLOPHUS MINOR Horsfield. 
Four specimens from Kiating, Szechwan, taken November 29, 1908, agree 
closely with the description and measurements given by Andersen in his review 
of the species of this group (Proc. Zool. soe. London, 1905, 2, p. 126-128). 
The forearm measurement is 38 mm. In all, pm, stands practically in the tooth 
row. 
RHINOLOPHUS ROUXI stnicus Andersen. 
This race was described from a single specimen taken at Chinta, Anhwei, 
onthe lower Yangtze. Mr. Zappey obtained two specimens of a Rhinolophus 
belonging to the simplex group, at Ichanghsien, Hupeh, that undoubtedly repre- 
sent the same race but are even smaller than the type, with forearms 43 and 44
