482 Notices of various Mammalia. [No. 150. 



Mr. Hodgson, in the Society's Journal for 1835, next described a 

 Rh. armiger and Rh. tragatus from Nepal ; but the former of these 

 appears to be identical with the Javanese Rh. nobilis of Horsfield. 

 The same naturalist more recently obtained three other species from 

 that province, and has described one of them by the name perniger, 

 in J. A. S. XII, 414; but I suspect that this is identical with Rh. 

 luctus of Temminck. 



We now come to Mr. Gray's " Revision of the genera of Bats, and 

 descriptions of some new genera and species," published in the ' Ma- 

 gazine of Zoology and Botany/ No. XII. In this paper the Rh. vulgaris, 

 Horsf., is mentioned as inhabiting India, and besides the Rh. apicula- 

 tus and Rh. penicillatus, Gray, both of which I have referred to speoris 

 verus v. duhhunensis of Sykes, two other species from India are des- 

 cribed as new, from specimens procured by Walter Elliot, Esq., Mad- 

 ras C. S., and these are also given in the latter gentleman's valuable 

 " Catalogue of the Mammalia of the Southern Mahratta country," 

 published in the * Madras Journal of Literature and Science/ No. 

 XXIV, pp. 98-9, one of them however by a different and more 

 appropriate name. 



Such appears to be the amount of information hitherto published 

 relative to the Indian Rhinolophi, which I shall now proceed to reduce 

 and classify, and enrich by the addition of several new species. 



The various Indian and Malayan members of this group fall into 

 two marked divisions, corresponding to Rhinolophus, Gray, as re- 

 stricted, (the Noctilio, apud Bechstein, according to Mr. Gray,) and the 

 Hipposideros, Gray, v. Phyllorhina, Bonap., apud Gray. 



The former is exemplified by the three European species, and by 

 the Javanese Rh. affinis and Rh. minor, Horsf., in addition to which 

 only two species are indicated by Mr. Gray, the Rh. megaphyllus, Gray, 

 (P.Z. S. 1834, p. 52,) from Australia, and Rh. griseus, Meyer, habi- 

 tat not ascertained. In this group, the facial crests are more promi- 

 nently developed, and terminate in an angular peak above, within 

 and anterior to which is a second leaf of membrane, in general also 

 peaked, and attached behind by a vertical (i. e. longitudinally dis- 

 posed) connecting membrane, which last is sometimes developed beyond 

 the lesser transverse leaf, in front of it, and each undergoes considerable 

 modification in the various species : the nasal apertures appear linear,
