This fine species, by far the largest of the genus yet discovered, 

 is distinguished not only by its size but also by the great develop- 

 ment and peculiar form of the nasal appendages (Plate VII. fig. 2). 



The base of the sella is expanded on either side, forming a long 

 lobe, almost equal in size and similar in shape to the vertical pro- 

 cess ; this lobe is twisted on its base so as to lie with its upper sur- 

 face 'partly on the central process of the sella, partly on the horse- 

 shoe-shaped nose-leaf. The horseshoe-shaped horizontal nose-leaf 

 is verj' large, projecting in front and on either side beyond the 

 upper lip. The posterior nose-leaf is developed in proportion to the 

 other parts, and extends backwards between the ears. The lower 

 lip is divided by a single deep vertical groove. The acutely pointed 

 ears are enormous, even in proportion to the size of the animal, and 

 the leaf-like antitragus is separated from the outer margin of the 

 ear by a very deep angular incision. 



The wing-membrane is greatly developed, and attached to the 

 base of the outer toe ; the interfemoral membrane is large, tri- 

 angular behind, and the tail is wholly contained within it. 



The fur of the body is very long and dense, usually of a jet-black 

 colour with grey tips, which suggested the specific name " kwtus ; " 

 the colour however, as in other BJiinolophi, varies considerably 

 accordint' to age, sex, and locality ; and specimens have been ob-
