1905.] OF THE GENUS RHINOLOPHUS. 127 



taken place in that Museum ; for tlie Bat figui^ed and described 

 b}'' Temminck as 2^'i(sittus was certainly no hijij^osiderits ; among 

 all the small Rhhiolophi existing it would be difficult to find a 

 stronger contrast to Eh. pusillus, in the shape of the connecting- 

 process, than Eh. hi2)j)osiderus . 



Eemarks. 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 coui\se, 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 

 Eh. minor. Ears, tail, and tibia longer. Forearm 38'8-41 mm. 



Details. Cf. Eh. minor. 



Distribution. Loo-choo Islands, and Japan pi'oper. 



Geographical races. There are two races of Eh. co7'nutus, 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 lY. 

 fig. 17 a, h, c.) 



Ehinolophus minor (non Horsf.) Bonhote, ISTov. Zool. ix. (1902) 

 p. 626. 



Diagnosis. On an average smaller: forearm 38'3-39'7 mm. 



Details. See table of measurements, p. 128. 



Colour, c? ad., 2 ^'^•j skins ; March ; teeth unworn. Fur 

 strongly bicoloured, i. e. base of hairs strongly contrasting with 

 the tip. General effect very much as in the adult Eh. hipj^osiderus . 

 Upper side, anteriorly almost " broccoli-brown," posterioiiy 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-tj-^e. The teeth seem to be a mere 

 trifle smaller. 



Dentition (three individuals), pg external ; p^ and p^ completely 

 in contact, p" in row, but the space between the ujDper canine 

 and p'' narrower than in the le2yid^(,s-tj])e and Eh. minor ; cusp 

 of p" so extremely minute as to be scarcely observable (teeth 

 unworn), and the tooth itself a little reduced in size. 



Type. $ ad. (in alcohol). Okinawa, Loo-choo Islands, March 

 16th, 1902. Presented by the Hon. E". 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.
