148 RHINOLOPHTTi.E. 



First phalanx of the thumb as long as the metacarpal bone. 

 Wings from the tarsi. Calcaueum remarkably long and strong, 

 comparatively longer than in any other known species of the genus, 

 exceeding half the tibia in length. Tail long, projecting one tenth of 

 an inch beyond the interfemoral membrane. 



Fur long and dense ; above dark brown, the base of the hairs 

 much paler, especially on the anterior half of the body ; beneath 

 orange-brown. 



Length, head and body 2"-,5, taU l"-4, head 0"-85, ear 0"-85, 

 nose-leaf 0"-3x0"-22, forearm 2", thumb 0"-35; third finger — 

 metacarp. l"-3, 1st. ph. 0"-8, 2nd ph. 1" ; fifth finger — metacarp. 

 l"-4,5, 1st. ph. 0"-65, 2nd ph. 0"-65 ; tibia 0"'9, calcaneum 0"-6, 

 foot 0"-4. 



A young specimen of this species from the same locality, with 

 the epiphyses of the finger-bones quite ununited, has the forearm 

 1"'7 long, and the foot and the calcaneum are nearly as long as in 

 the adult example from which the above description was taken ; 

 the fur is almost wholly dark brown above (though paler on the 

 anterior half of the body than behind, as in the adult animal), and 

 light greyish brown beneath.

 (See synonymy of varieties below.) 



Ears large, oval ; the lower half of the inner margin of the ear- 

 conch very convex, the summit rounded off broadly, the upper third 

 of the outer margin straight (Plate TX. fig. 9). 



Horseshoe small, square, scarcely as wide as the transverse ter- 

 minal leaf, the concave front surface of which is divided into four 

 cells by three distinct vertical ridges ; no secondary leaflets external 

 to the horseshoe ; frontal glandular sac well developed, rudimentary 

 in females, its position with difficulty determined in some, especially 

 in immature females. 



Wing-membrane extending to the ankles or tarsus ; interfemoral 

 membrane slightly angular behind, the extremity of the tail project- 

 ing, generally about one third of the last osseous caudal vertebra 

 free. 



Fur very variable in colour, in some specimens reddish chestnut, 

 the base of the hairs and for three fourths their length pale reddish 

 white ; beneath similar but paler : in others the extremities of the 

 hairs are dark reddish brown, and the basal three fourths almost 

 pure white, while the fur beneath is pale yellowish white.
