98 MR. K. ANDERSEN^ ON BATS [May 16, 



(c) In Blanford's ' Fauna of British India ' {loc. infra cit.) 

 Bh. 2)etersi is recorded from Masuri and from Nilghiri. The 

 former statement is borrowed from Hutton's paper. The latter is 

 based on an example collected by W. Davison in Ooonoor, ISTilghiri*. 

 This specimen is now in the British Museum. It is a iiA. rouxi. 



In short: — (1) For reasons given above I regard Dobson's 

 Rh. petersi (1872 and 1876) as a synonym of Bh. rotixi; (2) 

 Dobson's Rh. lutersi (1878) is Rh. acimiinattis ; (3) Dobson's 

 Rh. petersi (1880) is Rh. sumaircmus ; (4) Hutton's Rh. petersi 

 is Rh. monticola ; (5) Blanford's Rh. pi&tersi is partly Rh. monticola 

 (Masuri), partly Rh. rouxi (Nilghiri). 



Geographical races. There are, at least, two forms of Rh. rouxi, 

 differing in size and geographical habitat. 



11a. Rhinolophus rouxi sixicus, subsp. n. 



Diagnosis. Skull smaller, tooth-rows shorter. Foreai-m 46 mm. 



Details. The general size is as in the very smallest examples I 

 have seen of the typical form. Skull still a little smaller, with 

 slenderer brain-case and shorter tooth-rows ; nasal swellings, in 

 front view, slightly lower. Colour as in the dark phase of 

 Himalayan specimens of the typical form (see below). 



Measurements. On p. 100. 



Type. S ad. (skin). Chin Tah, Anhwei, Lower Yangisef.

Diagnosis. Skull larger, tooth-rows longer. Forearm 46-5 1 "5 mm. 



Colour. — (1) Specimens from Nep>al and Darjeeling . («) Dark 

 phase: one ad.; Nepal; teeth luiworn ; skin: — Upper side '" mars- 

 brown " ; horse-shoe patch on back distingviishable, though some- 

 what obliterated ; base of hairs light " drab," almost " ecru-drab " ; 

 under side " drab," with a tinge of " russet" ; sides of body some- 

 what darker. With this skin agree in colour another adult 

 specimen from Nepal (teeth somewhat worn ; skin) and a 5 ad. 

 from Darjeeling (in alcohol).
