 (the former place of p^).

Diagnosis. Skull and external characters : ??iMior-type. Ears, 

 tail, and tibia shorter. Forearm 37-38 mm. 



Details, This species differs from Rh. coi^nutus by the shorter 

 ears, tail, and tibia (cf. measurements). The forearm is, at least 

 on an average, shorter. 



Coloiir. c? ad., skin; Darjeeling; November; teeth imworn. 

 General efifect of the colour of the upper side very much as in 

 Rh. refulgens, though perhaps not quite as dark ; base of hairs 

 light, "ecru-drab"; under side "ecru-drab," darker on the hinder 

 belly and flanks. 



Dentition (three skulls). Pg in rov/, almost in row, or external, 

 p, and p^ well separated, or almost in contact. p^ in row ; a 

 small cusp, pointing inwards.

Distribution. Darjeeling. Siam. Java [cf. remarks below). 



Technical name. Horsfield's type of Rh. minor is in the Bi^itish 

 Museum. 



Rh. pusillus*. — The figure of the head of Rh. jntsilkis, as given 

 by Temminck, proves that he had before him one of the small 

 species of what is here called the lepidtis group (shape of connect- 

 ing process, of sella, &c.). The only question is, therefore, to 

 ivhich species the name pusillus belongs. It would seem to be 

 settled, beyond doubt, l:)y Temminck's statement that the tyjDes 

 were brought from Java. But Dobson, who examined these types 

 in the Leiden Museum, gave the rather astounding information 

 that they are " undoubtedly specimens of Rh. hipposiderus " ! t 

 There is only one answer : if so, an interchange of labels has 



* Temminck, ut supra; Dobson, Cat. Chir. Brit. Mus. (1878) p. 117; id. Eep. 

 Brit. Assoc. 1880, p. 175; Peters, MB. Akad. Berlin, 1880, p. 23. 



f This is the source of the statement that BJi. Jdj>poside7'us should occur in Java ; 

 there is no other foundation. The range of JRh. hipposiderus has its extreme eastern 

 limit in Gilgit (N.W. Himalayas) ; there is not a single reliable record of that Bat 

 from the whole of the Oriental Region ; and the species therefore cannot possibly 

 turn up again in Java.
