 5. Phyllorhota Masoni, n. sp. 



This species belongs to the same section of the genns as Ph. JSficoba- 

 rensis, Dobson. As in that species, the concave front surface of the base of 

 the transverse nose-leaf is divided into tioo cells only by a single central lon- 

 gitudinal fold ; the upper margin or crest of the transverse nose-leaf, and the 

 thickened cordiform ridge behind the nasal orifices develop acute projections 

 in the centre of then front surfaces as in Ph. diadema, Geoff. The horse- 

 shoe shaped membrane is shnple, with three secondary vertical processes of 

 membrane on each side. 



From the under surface of the symphisis of the mandible a small coni- 

 cal bony process projects downwards, about equal to the lower canine tooth 

 in vertical extent. 



Wings from the ankles ; tip of tail free ; interfemoral membrane trian- 

 gular behind. 



Length, head" and body, 3"65 inches; tail 1*65; ear (anteriorly) l'l ; 

 forearm 335 ; 2nd finger 50 ; 4th finger 3'9 ; thumb 0'6 ; tibia 1-35. 



Hah. — Moulmain, Barma. 



Tins fine species was first submitted to me for examination by Mr. 

 "Wood-Mason, with the remark that it was most probably new ; I have ? 

 therefore, much pleasure in connecting his name with it.
