 YuNAN.— ^j^ a. E. DoBSON, B. A., M. 13., F. L. S. 



Phtlloehina brachtota, n. sp. 



Ear comparatively small, as broad as long, inner margin very convex 

 forwards, outer margin slightly concave beneath the tip ; nose-leaf as in 

 JP/i. larvafa, Horsf., front surface of upper transverse portion with three very 

 distinct vertical ridges ; frontal pore small, indistinct, not larger than that 

 of the females of I^h. larvata. 



Feet small : wing-membrane from the metatarsus near the base of the 

 toes. Interfemoral membrane rather large, triangular behind ; extreme tip 

 of tail free. 



Fur, above, light brown at base, the terminal third of the hairs very 

 dark, the extreme tips paler : beneath similar but somewhat paler. The 

 fur on the shoulders and along the spine darker. Ears and wing- and inter- 

 femoral-membranes very dark known. Specimens in colourless alcohol ap- 

 pear very dark brown throughout. 



The second upper premolar is separated from the canine by a wider 

 interval than usual in this genus ; in the midst of this space, but rather to 

 the outside, the small, scarcely distinguishable first premolar is placed. 



Length, head and body 1'''95 inches ; tail 1"'4 ; head 0""75 ; ear (ante- 

 riorly) 0"'5 ; forearm l"-75 ; thumb 0".25 ; second finger 2"'7 ; fourth 

 finger 2"'\ ; tibia 0"*72 ; calcaneum 0''-4 ; foot and claws 0'''3. 



The above description is taken from an adult male, preserved in alcohol, 

 obtained by Staff Surgeon F. P. Staples in Central India, and presented by 

 him to the Museum of the Army Medical Department at Netley. 



Vespeetilio montivagus, n. sp. 



Crown of head very slightly elevated ; muzzle obtuse : ears narrow, 

 tapering, with rounded tips ; outer side flatly emarginate immediately be- 

 neath the tip for about quarter its length, then slightly convex, and lower 

 down, opposite the base of the tragus with a small emargination, terminat- 

 ing beyond this in a small rounded lobe ; inner margin convex for two-thirds 

 its length, then forming a straight line to the tip ; tragus long, narrow, and 

 acutely pointed ; inner margin straight, outer slightly convex upwards 

 with a small rounded lobe at the base. 



Feet very small, toes two-thirds the length of the whole foot. Tail
