APPENDIX TO PART II. 



I. Desd'iplioTi v/ ti new Bat from Jam, of ihe genm Kcrivouln. By Old- 

 field Thomas, F.Z,S., Aesi&tant in the Zoological Dej^artmetit, 

 British Museum. 



[From tho Anmh and Magmine of Natural Iltstorif^ for June 1880.] 



The Bpecimen upon TFhich thia description is based was obtained by 

 Jlr. H. 0. Forbes at Kosa!a, in Bantam, Java, 2100 feet above the sea, 

 on tho 24rtti of September, 1879, and is now in tho British Musouhl 



KKBIVOm^ JAVANA, 



Foi greyisli-b1ack, each hair being nearly black for its proximal third, 

 then white for the niidiile tliird, the end Ixjing l»iack, with sometimes a 

 shining white tip. Ears rather ehort ; laid forward they r^ch to about 

 half-way between the eyes and the tip of the nose. SShape of ears and 

 tragus exactly as in K. jugori, the fonuer having the second smail con- 

 cavity in the middle of the outer edge, and tho latter the deep horizontal 

 notch above the external basal lobule described 

 in that species, as shown in the wood-cut. Dis- 

 tribution of fur Bs in K. jxipuensts, there being 

 short shining yellowish hairs thickly set along the 

 forearm, on tho thumb quite to the chiw, ail along 

 the second finger, on both phalanges of the tliircH 

 and on the digital phalanges of the fourth and 

 fifth fingers. There are also a few hairs ou tlie 

 HEAD OF E. JAVASA. proxiuial ciid of the fifth metacarpal. The tail 

 and the hind limlis quite to the bases of the 

 claws are covered with similar liairs; the edge of the interfemoral, 

 however, is without a fringe, The teeth are quite similar to those of 

 K. papmmis. 



K. Javana is thus interffiediate lietween K, ja/jart, a Philippine species, 

 aud K. papuemhf from New Guinea, differing from the latter in the ahaiie 

 of the ears and tragus, and by the absence of an interfemoral fringe, and 

 from tho former by the presence of fur upon the limbs, that species 

 having these quite naked. It differs from lx>th, however, in the tricolor 

 character of the far, as they are of a nearly xiuiformly dark reddish brown 

 colour, though the tips of the hairs nre lighter,
