152 RHINOLOPHIDiE. 



Type in the collection of the Stuttgart Museum. 



Through the kindness of Dr. Krauss, Director of the Eoyal 

 Zoological Museum at Stuttgart, I have been enabled to examine 

 the type of this most interesting species, which differs from all 

 other species of the genus in the very distinct union of the ears. 

 But in Ph. fulva, which it resembles most closely, a very low band 

 may be traced across the forehead from the base of one ear to the 

 other. The difference, therefore, between these species, in this 

 respect at least, is evidently one of degree only. 



5. C(ELOPS. 



Coelops, Blyth, J. A. S. B. xvii. p. 251 (1848) ; Peters, Wiegm. ArcMv, 

 ii. p. 117 (1862) ; MB. Akad. Berl. 1865, p. 644, and 1871, p. 830;

 (1876). 



The horizontal nose-leaf, corresponding to the horseshoe in Rhi- 

 nolophus and Phyllorhina, is deeply emarginate on the sides and in 

 front, the anterior lappets covering the bases of two long depending 

 leaflets ; a sella behind the nostrils somewhat similar to that in 

 Phyllorhina, and behind this a transverse concave-fronted erect 

 terminal leaf supporting a heart-shaped projection in the centre. 

 Ears separate. Metacarpal bone of thumb very long, phalanx 

 short ; index finger very long, extending beyond the extremity of 

 the first phalanx of the middle finger ; toes, as in Phyllorhina, of 

 two phalanges each : tail and calcanea short, interfemoral membrane 

 deeply emarginate.

The general form of the skull and teeth is very similar to that of 

 PhyUorhina. The base of the skull is almost quite similar, and the 

 nasal bones are similarly developed. This genus, therefore, though 

 presenting such remarkable differences in the form of the nasal ap- 

 pendages, stands most nearly related to Phyllorhina. 



1. Coelops fritliii.

Ears funnel-shaped, as in the genus Kerivoula (Vespertilionida3) : 

 the outer side of the ear-conch nearly as deep as the inner, the 

 whole surface of the conch thickly clothed with fine hairs. The 

 nasal appendages as described above ; the sides of the horizontal 

 membranes almost concealed by long fine hairs, with which the face 

 is thickly covered ; behind the terminal transverse leaf a circular 

 frontal pore, quite similar to that found in some species of Phyllo- 

 rhina (Plate VIII. fig. 6). 



Thumb included in the wing-mcmbiaue almost to the base of
