Diagnosis. On an average larger : forearm 39*2-41 mm.

 foregoing forms of this group.

 teeth unworn. As Rh. c. pumilus. A young individual, from 

 Tsu-sima, is still considerably darker. 



(2) Japan proper : one skin, three spii-it-specimens ; teeth un- 

 worn. Very dififerent ; extremely like Rh. lepidus, if anything 

 still a trifle lighter. 



Skull. Quite of the minor type ; measui-ements slightly larger. 



Dentition (five skulls), p^ almost in row (two), or external 

 (three), p^ and p^ well separated (two), or almost in contact 



Measurements of Rh. minor and cornutus.
