1905.] OF THE GENUS RHINOLOPHUS. 127 
taken place in that Museum; for the Bat figured and described 
by Temminck as pusillus was certainly no hipposiderus ; among 
all the small Rhinolophi existing it would be difficult to find a 
stronger contrast to Rh. pusillus, in the shape of the connecting 
process, than Rh. hipposiderus. 
Remarks. From Java I have seen one old skin only (the type) 
and a fragment of the skull, representing the nasal swellings and 
the teeth. It is, of course, not sufficient to prove that the Java 
Bat is in all particulars identical with that from Darjeeling; but 
the nasal swellings, the teeth, the connecting process, the horse- 
shoe, as well as the measurements of the wings and tibia, are the 
same, If not identical, they are, at all events, extremely closely 
related. 
19. RHINOLOPHUS coRNUTUS Temm. 
Diagnosis. Skull and external characters essentially as in 
Rh. minor. ars, tail, and tibia longer. Forearm 38:8-41 mm. 
Details. Cf. Rh. minor. 
Distribution. Loo-choo Islands, and Japan proper. 
Geographical races. There are two races of Rh. cornutus, slightly 
differing in the general size, in the length of the tail and tibia, 
and in geographical habitat. 
19@. RHINOLOPHUS CORNUTUS PUMILUS, subsp.n. (Plate IV. 
fig. 17 a, 6, c.) 
Rhinolophus minor (non Horsf.) Bonhote, Nov. Zool. ix. (1902) 
p. 626. 
Diagnosis. On an average smaller: forearm 38°3-39°7 mm. 
Details. See table of measurements, p. 128. 
Colour. $ ad., 9 ad., skins; March; teeth unworn. Fur 
strongly bicoloured, 7. ¢. base of hairs strongly contrasting with 
the tip. General effect very much asin the adult Rh. hipposiderus. 
Upper side, anteriorly almost ‘“ broccoli-brown,” posteriorly next 
to ‘‘ Prout’s brown”; base of hairs extremely light, almost white 
with a tinge of “ ecru-drab.” Under side “ ecru-drab,” darker on 
the flanks. 
Skull. Quite of the minor-type. The teeth seem to be a mere 
trifle smaller. 
Dentition (three individuals). p, external; p, and p, completely 
in contact. p* in row, but the space between the upper canine 
and p‘ narrower than in the lepidus-type and Rh. minor; cusp 
of p* so extremely minute as to be scarcely observable (teeth 
unworn), and the tooth itself a little reduced in size. 
Type. Q ad. (in alcohol), Okinawa, Loo-choo Islands, March 
16th, 1902. Presented by the Hon. N. C. Rothschild. Brit. 
Mus. no. 2.10.7.18. 
Distribution. A skin (skull very incomplete) from Foo-chow 
(Swinhoe leg.; Tomes Collection) seems to be referable to this 
form.
