EHINOLOPHID^. 



Second upper premolar close to the cauine ; first premolar minute 

 and quite external to the tooth-row; second lower premolar not 

 discernible in some specimens, in others always detected with diffi- 

 culty, even with the aid of a lens, lying in the outer angle between 

 the closely approximated first and third premolars. 



Length, head and body 2"-35, tail l"-55, head 1", ear 0"'9, nose- 

 leaf 0"-6 X 0"-35, forearm 2"'25, thumb 0"-32 ; third finger— meta- 

 carp. 1"*55, 1st ph. 0"-75, 2ud ph. l"-35; fourth finger — metacarp. 

 l"-6, 1st ph. 0"-45, 2nd ph. 0"-8 ; fifth finger— metacarp. l"-65, 1st 

 ph. 0"-55, 2nd ph. 0"-7 ; tibia 0"-9, foot 0"-55. 



Hab. Europe, Africa, Asia. In Europe extending as far north as 

 Southern England, and the Harz Mountains in Germany ; in Africa 

 probably generally distributed ; in Asia found in the Himalaya and 

 in Japan. It has therefore by far the widest distribution of any 

 species of the genus. In tropical countries it appears to be more or 

 less confined to the elevated tablelands. 



Rh. ferrum-eqidnum is easily distinguished by the peculiarly 

 attenuated and very acutely pointed extremities of the ears, by the 

 form of the erect process of the sella, which is slightly expanded 

 above and beneath, and by the position of the first upper pre- 

 molar outside the tooth-row. The length of the ear varies slightly.
