l"-2, 1st ph. 0"-5, 2nd ph. 0"-4 ; tibia 0"-8, oalcaneum 0"-4, foot 

 0"-28. 



A specimen in the collection from Dar-es-Salam is considerably 

 larger than most examples of this species, having the forearm 2", 

 the metacarpal bone of the third finger l"-45, and the tibia 0"-85 ; 

 the ears and nose-leaf appear smaller, and the former are more 

 covered with hair. 



Hah. Africa (Abyssinia, Zanzibar, Cape Delgade, Tete, Port Natal, 

 Damara country, Benguela, Angola, Gaboon, Cameroon Mountains). 

 Probably generally distributed throughout the tropical regions of 

 that continent.

Ears very similar in shape and in size to those of PJi. caffra, 

 ■with which this species also agrees closely in general measurements. 

 It is, however, at once distinguished by the very different develop- 

 ment of the nose-leaf, which is much larger, and resembles that of 

 the well-known species Ph. spear is. 



The horseshoe-shaped portion of the nose-leaf is well developed, 

 and extends as far forwards in front of the nasal apertures as the 

 upper extremity of the muzzle ; it is nearly as wide in front as be- 

 hind the nasal apertures, and its anterior free margin is undivided ; 

 on either side two secondary leaflets as in Ph. caffra ; sella large, 

 but exceeded in width by the transverse erect leaf behind, which is 

 also well developed, the sides nearly as high as the centre, so that 

 its upper margin is almost straight ; its concave front surface is 

 divided by three very well-defined vertical ridges into four cells. 

 Frontal glandular sac distinct but small, not larger than in the 

 preceding species : in the female very indistinctly marked. Thumb
