Ears oval, with short subacute tips, inclined outwards, the outer 

 margin shortly but conspicuously concave in the upper fourth; 

 nose-leaf large, upper margin of the transverse terminal portion 

 regularly convex, forming an arc of a circle, its front surface with 

 three well-marked vertical ridges (Plate IX. fig. 5) ; horseshoe 

 projecting by its free margin beyond the upper lip ; two vertical 

 leaves on each side ; terminal leaf wider than the sella in front ; no 

 frontal pore. 



Thumb very small. "Wings to the tarsus. Interfemoral mem- 

 brane slightly triangular behind ; last caudal vertebra free. 



The posterior margin of the cingulum of the canine develops a 

 distinct cusp, and also the anterior margin of the second premolar.

Phyllorhina fuliginosa, Temminck, Esquias. Zooloq. sur la cote de

Ears much shorter than the head ; basal half of the inner margin 

 of the conch exceedingly convex, so as to approach close to the erect 

 nose-leaf, upper half slightly convex, tip subacute, slightly inclined 

 outwards, upper third of the outer margin concave, lower two thirds 

 convex, antitragus semicircular without projection (Plate IX. fig. 6) ; 

 nose-leaf small, horseshoe-shaped membrane very narrow in front 

 of the nasal apertures ; on each side two secondary leaflets ; pos- 

 terior erect leaf short with a slightly convex free margin, its 

 concave front surface not divided by distinct vertical ridges, but in 

 some specimens there is a faint indication of a central ridge, with 

 an ill-defined ridge near the outer margin of the leaf on either side ; 

 no frontal glandular sac, but the forehead, in the position corre- 

 sponding to the usual place of the sac in other species, is naked. 



Thumb as long as the foot without the claws ; wings from the 

 ankles; tail long, the extremity projecting slightly beyond the 

 triangular interfemoral membrane. 



Eur varying considerably in colour : in some specimens dark 

 brown or even black, the base of the hairs much paler, almost 

 white, beneath paler throughout ; in others the hairs are bright 

 orange or reddish yellow above and beneath. The specific name 

 has therefore been ill-chosen.
