i-ufus) the upper margin of the connecting process, which does not 

 rise above it ; terminal leaf short and broadly triangular, sides slightly 

 convex, almost straight. Lower lip with a single groove. 



Wings remarkably wide ; wing-membrane from the ankle. Tail 

 short and contained, except the extreme tip, within the interfemoral 

 membrane, the posterior free margin of which is concave. 



Fur uniformly dark brown above and beneath, very loiig and dense. 



Length, head and body 2"-7, taU 0"-9, head 1", ear 1", anti- 

 tragus 0"-4, nose-leaf 0"-7 X 0"-45, forearm 2"-2, thumb 0"-35, 

 third finger 3"-3, fifth finger 3", tibia 1", foot 0"-5. 



Hah. India (Masuri, DarjUing, Khasia and Garo hUls, Tupai 

 Mukh), Tibet, Yunan (Hotha). 



This Bat (easUy recognised by the great length of its fur, in 

 which it resembles Rh. luctus) appears to be an inhabitant of very 

 elevated hill-countries, extending from the N.W. Himalaya, Tibet, 

 and Assam to the mountain-tracts lying between Bui~ma and China. 



The type has lain for many years in the collection of the East- 

 India House, packed away am.ong other objects of natural history, 

 until very recently, quite inaccessible to any one. This, and the 

 very imperfect description by Mr. Horsfield, have led to other names 

 being applied to this very weU-marked species, which I immediately 

 recognised on examining the type.

Ears large, as long as the head, very acute ; antitragus separated 

 from the outer margin by a deep acute-angled emargination. Nose- 

 leaf large, the horseshoe conceaUng the muzzle, deeply divided in 

 front ; the central erect process of the sella rather broad, with 

 parallel sides and rounded summit, meeting the superior margin of 

 the posterior connecting process (which is not raised above it) at the 

 same level. Lower lip with three grooves. 



Wiag-membrane from the tarsus. 



Fur reddish brown or dark brown above and beneath, moderately 

 long and dense.

Hab. Philippine Islands (Luzon). 



Type in the collection of the Berlin Museum. 



Bh. arcuatus, Peters, differs from Eh. rufus in size only, and is pro- 

 bably a local form of the same, as ScotopJiilus luteus, Blyth, and Sc. 

 temminclcii, Horsf. 



This species resembles Rh. ■pearsonii closely in size and in the 

 form of the nose-leaf, biit may be at once distinguished by the
