1. BHINOLOPHITS. 115 



while other specimens agree with the type in having the second lower 

 premolar in the tooth-row. In one specimen I have observed this 

 tooth partially external. I therefore regard this character as a 

 variable one, in this species at least. 



The upper margin of the posterior connecting-process of the sella 

 is more acute in some specimens of this species than in others ; and 

 the form of the posterior free margin of the interfemoral membrane 

 varies, as in Rh. affinis, also, from being slightly concave to square, 

 or even to a slight angularity. 



The following Table exhibits, in the first column, the measure- 

 ments of the type specimen, a dried skin ; in the second, those of an 

 adult female from Burma, with the second lower premolar half ex- 

 ternal ; in the third, those of an adult male, with the second lower 

 premolar very small and quite external to the tooth-row : — ■

Rhinolophus piisillus, Temminck, is not a synonym of this species 

 (as stated in my Monograph of the Asiatic Chiroptera), but of Bh. 

 hipposideros, as I have determined by direct comparison of the types 

 of this species and of Eh. pusillus in the Leyden Museum.
