488 Notices of various Mammalia. [No. 150. 



Some have a more complex membrane surrounding the nostrils, and 

 three small lateral fringes of membrane exterior to the nose-leaf. 



1. H. armiger, (Hodgson), J. A. S. IV, 699. Very closely allied 

 to, if not identical with, H. nobilis, (Horsfield). I cannot, however, 

 perceive that " the hairs of the axilla, hypochondria, and scapular 

 marks, are nearly white,'' as stated of the Javanese species. Colour 

 uniform light brown, with dark maronnetips to the fur of the upper- 

 parts. Length of fore-arm (of a large specimen) three inches and five- 

 eighths, and of tibia an inch and a half. Inhabits the central region of 

 Nepal. 



2. //. larvatus, (? Horsfield). A species which I have little hesi- 

 tation in identifying with this, has the fur of a brighter ferruginous 

 than is represented in Dr. Horsfield's two figures, and the under- 

 pays more particularly are much deeper-coloured than would appear 

 from the second figure of the plate adverted to. The fur of the upper- 

 parts is vivid fulvous, more or less tinged with maronne upon the 

 back, and weaker towards the base of the hairs ; that of the under- 

 pays being somewhat less intense; membranes dusky, but it would 

 seem tinged with the prevalent hue of the fur. Length about four 

 inches, of which the tail measures one and a quarter : fore-arm two 

 inches and a half; longest finger three and a quarter; tibia an inch 

 and one-sixteenth; foot with claws five-eighths of an inch : ears an- 

 gulated, measuring anteally seven-eighths of an inch to tip, and three- 

 quarters of an inch broad, length of head an inch. Both in this 

 species and the last there is a minute false molar anterior to the car- 

 nassier in the upper jaw, which appears to be wanting in those which 

 follow. Inhabits Arracan, whence forwarded to the Society's Museum 

 by Capt. Phayre, to whom we are likewise indebted for the next 

 species. 



3. H. vulgaris, (? Horsfield) ; a species mentioned by Mr. Gray as 

 inhabiting India. It differs from the last in being rather smaller, and 

 of a brown colour above, much paler at the base of the hairs and at 

 their extreme tips; and lighter-coloured below: the ears more apicu- 

 lated, or rather they appear so from being strongly emarginated ex- 

 ternally towards the tip: the tail and interfemoral membrane would 

 likewise seem to be shorter, but the latter has been withdrawn from
