124 MR. K. ANDERSEN ON BATS [May 16, 



as proved by Blyth's description of the connecting process, " still 

 more developed [than in his Rh. stthbadms] and obtusely angulated 

 behind"; the words "still more developed" mean, evidently, 

 " bigger," not extremely slender as in subbadius. (2) The types 

 were " probably obtained in the vicinity of Calcutta " ; one of the 

 specimens in the British Museum is from the Ganges Yalley, 

 therefore in all probability from the very same locality as the types. 

 (3) The colour, as described by Blj'^th, agrees very well with that 

 of the specimens before me. (4) The forearm was stated to be 

 "If inches" (41-5 mm.); the longest finger "2^ inches" 

 (57'2 mm.); the tibia "above | inch" (above 16 mm.); all 

 these measurements are as in the British Museum examples : 

 forearm 41 "8-42 mm.; third finger 58*3-59-l mm.; lower leg 

 16-17 mm. These facts leave no room for doubt as to the 

 identification of Rh. lepidAis. 



16. Rhinolophus monticola, sp. n. 



Rhinolophus petersi (errore*) Hutton, P. Z. S. 1872, p. 700. 

 Rhinolophus minor (partim, nee Horsf .) Dobson, ut supra. 

 Rhinolophus subbadius (non Hodgs., nee Blyth) Scully, J. A. S. B. 

 Ivi. pt. ii. (1887) p. 244. 



Diagnosis. Skull and external characters : lepidus-type. Smallei- : 

 forearm about 37 "5 mm. 



Details. This species difiei's from Rh. lepidus in its narrower 

 nasal swellings, somewhat smaller size, and considerably shorter 

 metacarpals. The horse-shoe seems to be narrower. 



Colour. Unknown (faded in alcohol). 



Skull. As in Rh. lejmhcs, but somewhat smaller, and with 

 narrower nasal swellings. 



Dentition (two skulls, one belonging to a quite young individual). 

 Pg in row (skull of an adult), or external (young), p, and p^ well 

 separated, or almost in contact. p" in row ; a distinct cusp, 

 pointing inwards. 



Measurements. On p. 125. 



Typ)e. S ad. (in alcohol). Masuri. Collected and presented by 

 Capt. Hutton. Brit. Mus. no. 79.11.21.151. 



17. Rhinolophus refulgens, sp. n. (Plate lY. fig. 16«, 6, c.) 



Diagnosis. Skull and external characters, essentially of the 

 lepidus-ty^ie. But brain-case somewhat higher in front, making 

 the anterior slope of the sagittal crest, towards the postnasal 

 depression, somewhat more abrupt. Forearm 40-6-41 -5 mm. 



Details. Very nearly of the same size as Rh. Ie2ndus, but meta- 

 carpals, also proportionately, somewhat shorter ; tibia shorter. 

 The horse-shoe is, if anything, slightly broader. 



* There is no doubt that this is an accidental error. Prof. Peters (who determined 

 Hutton's Bats) cannot, possibly, have identified the specimen here under considera- 

 tion (forearm 37'5 mm.) with " BJi. petersi" (forearm of type 51 mm.). As already 

 pointed out above (p. 97, footnote), the labels must have been confused; the name 

 " Bh. petersi " was, probably, intended for Hutton's examples of Bh. rou.vi.
