(2) The minor-type—Chief characters: skull, also propor- 
tionately, very small; width of brain-case about 6°8-7°2 mm. ; 
connecting process of the lepidus-type (text-fig. 22, b, p. 121). 
Deser iption, based on 2h, cornutus pumilus (Loo- choo Islands).— 
Nose-leaves as in the lepidus-type, but: sella narrower; height 
about 2°8mm.; width at base, at constriction, and at Semen - 
1:7,1°5, and 11mm. Connecting process slightly higher, slightly 
more acute, but of the same general shape. 
The other external characters as in the lepidus-type. 
Skull. Considerably smaller; nasal swellings narrower. Teeth 
smaller, 
Dentition. As in lepidus. 
Species. Rh. minor, cornutus, “ minutus” (Miller, nec Montagu), 
gracilis. 
(3) The subbadius-type.—Chief character: connecting process 
long, slender, very sharply pointed, curved forwards, projecting 
like a small, curved “ horn” (text-fig. 22, ¢, p. 121). 
Nose-leaves, and other external characters, much as in nwn07, 
but connecting process as described above; lancet more or less 
approaching the shape of an equilateral triangle; length of sella 
about 2°4 mm.; width at base, at constriction, and at summit: 
1:7, 1:3, and 0:9 mm. 
Skull. To judge from fragments, and the skull of a quite young 
individual, much of the minor-type. 
Dentition. As in lepidus and minor. 
Species. Rh. subbadius, monoceros.

¢ ad., in alcohol: Wynaad ; teeth unworn. General colour above 
between “ wood-brown” and “ cinnamon,” lighter on the anterior 
part of the back; base of hairs very light “ ecru-drab”; under side

almost or quite in contact. p* in the tooth-row, with a well- 
developed cusp, pointing inwards. 
Measurements. On p. 125. 
Distribution. Indian Peninsula: Wynaad (Mysore); Ganges 
Valley. 
Technical name. I identify this Bat with Blyth’s Rh. lepidus 
(to which I find no reference in Dobson’s ‘ Catalogue’), for the 
following reasons :—(1) lepidus belongs to this group of the genus,
