frontal glaudvilar sac, which equals iu size that of Ph. speoris, and 

 by the much greater length of the calcaneum. 



Ears about the same size and very similar in general outline to 

 those of Ph. caffra and Ph. galerita, but the small projection at the 

 commencement of the lower third of the outer margin of the ear- 

 conch is as acutely pointed as in Ph. speoris, with which this species 

 also agrees in the large size and structure of the frontal sac ; the 

 horseshoe-shaped part of the nose-leaf is much narrowed in front of 

 the nasal apertures, in Ph. galerita it is almost as broad in front as 

 behind; in other respects the nasal appendages agree in these 

 species, and there are also two secondary leaflets external to the 

 horseshoe (Plate IX. fig. 7). 



Thumbs and feet as in Ph. galerita ; wing-membrane extending 

 to the tarsus ; interf emoral membrane moderate, triangular behind ; 

 last caudal vertebra long and half free. 



Fur reddish brown, darker above, paler beneath ; the extremities 

 of the hairs on the back darker than their bases. 



Length, head and body 2", tail 1"-1, head 0"-7, ear 0"-55, forearm 

 l"-75, thumb 0"-25 ; third finger— metacarp. l"-25, 1st ph. 0"-6, 

 2nd ph. 0"-7: fifth finger— metacarp. l"-05, 1st ph. 0"-45, 2nd ph. 

 0"-4 ; tibia 0"-65, calcaneum 0"-45, foot 0"-3. 



The above measurements are taken from an apparently adtdt male 

 from New Guinea. The type, a dried skin, from Albany Island, Cape 

 York, is slightly larger.

 Island ; New Guinea. 



This species agrees with the preceding species and with Ph. caffra 

 in the shape of the ears and in the small size of the thumb and foot. 

 While resembling Ph. caffra in the small development of the horse- 

 shoe-shaped portion of the nose-leaf, it corre'sponds more closely 

 with Ph. speoris in the large size and form of the frontal sac.
