HlPPOSIDEUOS. 



As M. Bonaparte has given the name of Phyllorhina to the Euro- 

 pean Horse-shoe Bats, I am inclined to restrict the genua Hippoai- 

 deroa to those species of the larger genns which have a lam cavity 

 opening with an expanding pore on the forehead behind the trans- 

 verse hinder part of the nosedeaf ; they have distinct pubal teatfl ; 

 thus restricting PhyUorhina to those which have a simple forehead 

 without any pore. 



2. Hipposideros Ariknsis. M.M. 



Sooty-brown; the lower half of the hairs of the hack paler, the 



hairs of the under side more uniform, or with rather paler tips ; the 



ears large, broad, rounded at the ends, with tWO hairy line- on the

any membranaceous ridges on the sides outside ofthi nose-leaf
