Hah. West Africa. 



This very remarkable species, at once distinguished by the pecu- 

 liar club-shaped processes projecting from the nose-leaf, is evidently 

 closely allied to Ph. commersonii., inhabiting the same zoological 

 region, with which it agrees in the form of the ears, in the structure 

 and position of the frontal glandular sac, and in the general form of 

 the teeth.

The hinder erect nose-leaf narrow, not so broad as the horseshoe ; 

 upper edge sinuate, slightly elevated in the centre and at either 

 extremity ; vertical ridges beneath weU developed, prominent, en- 

 closing moderately deep cells. The wart-like elevations on each 

 side above the eyes, so constant in the species of the genus^ are, in 

 this species, usually greatly developed, forming large, thickened, 

 longitudinal elevations, extending forwards on each side of the 

 posterior erect nose-leaf, and backwards towards the frontal sac. 

 In old males the development of these elevations is very great, and 

 they form posteriorly the raised boundaries of a triangular fleshy 

 naked space on the forehead, at the apex of which the large frontal 

 sac is placed (Plate IX. fig. 3). These parts are not so weU deve- 

 loped in young males and females ; in the latter they appear as 

 comparatively small longitudinal wart-like bodies covered with 

 straight hairs, and in them also the frontal sac is small and placed 

 close behind the posterior erect nose-leaf. On either side of the 

 muzzle four erect longitudinal leaflets.
