2. Ehevolophus Gaeoensis, n. sp. 



Ears acutely pointed with a well developed antitragus. Upper edge of 

 the posterior vertical connecting process of the central nose-leaf forming an 

 acutely pointed elevation ; posterior nose-leaf terminating behind in a broad, 

 triangular, pointed process. 



Wings from the ankles, interfemoral membrane cut square behind ; tip 

 of tail free. 



This species is closely allied to Bh. cornutus, Tern., from Japan, from 

 which it differs mainly in size. 



Length, head and body P5 inches ; tail - 7 ; ear (anteriorly) - 5 ; fore- 

 arm, 1-3 ; 2nd finger 2-0 ; 4th finger 17 ; tibia 0-6. 



Sab. — G-aro Hills, Assam. Collected by Major H. H. Godwin- Austen. 



3. Ehestolophus Andamanensis, n. sp. 



This species resembles Bh. affinis, and may be referred to the same sec- 

 tion of the genus. The anterior horizontal horse-shoe shaped portion of the 

 nose-leaf is very broad and fiat, concealing the muzzle when viewed from 

 above, as in Bh. Yunanensis. The posterior triangular nose-leaf is long, and 

 produced backwards between the ears. 



Wings from the ankles, or from the tibia slightly higher up. Interfe- 

 moral membrane ctit square or slightly concave behind ; tip of tail project- 

 ing. 



Length, head and body, 2 - 5 inches ; tail 09 ; ear (anteriorly) OS5 ; ear 

 (posteriorly) 0'75 ; forearm 2'05 ; thumb 0*45 ; tibia 1-0. 



Sab. — Andaman Islands. Collected by Mr. Homfray, Assistant Super- 

 intendent, Port Blah, to whom the Indian Museum is indebted for many 

 specimens illustrative of the zoology of the islands. 



4. RniKOLOPHFS Petebsii, n. sp. 



Ears acutely pointed, with an emargination immediately beneath the 

 tip ; antitragus large, separated from the outer margin by a deep angular 

 incision. 



Nose-leaf about same size as in Bh. affinis. The upper border of the 

 posterior connecting portion of the central nasal crest is produced into a 

 subacute point ; the sides of the terminal part of the posterior nose-leaf are 

 deeply emarginate, so that it ends in a small narrow projection. 



Wings from the ankles ; interfemoral membrane slightly triangular be- 

 hind ; tip of tail free, projecting about T ^ inch beyond the membrane. 



This species resembles Bh. acuminatus, Peters, from Java, but differs 

 from it, as Dr. Peters informs me, in having the terminal portion of the tail 

 free, and in other respects, as in measurement, slightly, and in the form of 

 the ears, &c.
