specimens presented to the Society by Mr. Hodgson. From muzzle to

 anteally five-eighths ; fore-arm an inch and five-eighths ; longest finger 

 two inches and a quarter ; tibia exceeding five-eighths of an inch ; 

 and foot with claws three-eighths. 



5. Eh. subbadius, Hodgson, MS. ; mentioned as Vespertilio subba- 

 dius, H., in J. A. S., X., 908. In this species, the anterior nose-leaf is 

 very small, oblong, and rounded above, but the vertical membrane 

 behind it is conspicuously developed, and pointed posteriorly ; behind 

 this again, is a short and broad transverse membrane, divided into 

 two lateral lobes, and as usual some long straight hairs grow from this 

 part ; and lastly, there is the hindmost angular peak, the sides of 

 which are slightly emarginated towards the point: the nostrils are 

 not externally fringed with membrane ; and over the lip is the usual 

 horse-shoe. Mr. Hodgson thus describes the species : — " No pubic 

 teats. Ears no longer than head, truncated at tip £or rather, they are 

 somewhat obtusely pointed], ovoid. Nasal appendage quadrate, not 

 salient, with a transverse bar nearly surmounting it towards the head. 

 Colour a medial clear brown, paler below, and especially on the head 

 and face. Snout to vent an inch and a half ; tail an inch and a quarter ; 

 head five-eighths of an inch ; ears the same ; expanse seven and a 

 half: fore-arm an inch and a quarter ; longest finger two and a 

 quarter ; the foot and nails three-eighths of an inch. Habitat Nepal." 

 The admeasurements of a specimen presented by Mr. Hodgson are 

 — muzzle to vent an inch and a quarter ; tail five-eighths of an 

 inch ; head the same ; ears anteally half an inch ; fore- arm an inch 

 and three-eighths ; longest finger one and seven-eighths ; tibia nearly 

 five-eighths of an inch ; foot and nails five-sixteenths of an inch. In- 

 habits Nepal. 



6. Rh. lepidus, Nobis. A good deal allied to the last, but distin. 

 guished by its much paler colour, longer fore-arm, and especially by 

 the uppermost and hindmost peak of the facial membranes being much 

 less evenly angular, having its sides so considerably emarginated to- 

 wards the tip, that the latter appears as a narrow terminal prolongation, 

 one-sixteenth of an inch in length ; the vertical membrane posterior 

 to and adjoining the anterior nose-leaf is also still more developed and
