RHINOLOPHUS LARVATUS. 
interior of the nose is naked, exhibiting a plane glandular surface, bounded by a 
ridge parallel to the transverse membrane, having a small groove at its upper margin. 
A few long, slender bristles are dispersed over the surface of the membranaceous 
apparatus. 
The eyes are of moderate size, and situated somewhat anteriorly, between the 
upper part of the nasal membrane and the base of the ears. The lips are distended, 
and closely covered with long bristly hairs, having a direction downward, and consti- 
tuting a pendulous beard* 
The deviations of the teeth, from the description already given in the natural 
character, are very inconsiderable in the Rhinolophus larvatus. The front teeth are 
somewhat converging and distended on the interior margin, and very obscurely 
notched. The first grinder is comparatively obscure ; the projecting point of the 
second grinder is long. In the lower jaw the two intermediate front teeth are 
marked with deep notches, and they are comparatively robust. Of the two simple 
anterior grinders, the point of the second is acute, and considerably projecting beyond 
the other teeth. The third, fourth;; and fifth grinders form a perfectly regular series, 
and along the outer ridge, the anterior point projects a little beyond the others. 
The body is broad across the thorax, and being gradually attenuated, has an 
abrupt termination posteriorly, where it forms a broad, obtuse surface, from which 
the tail proceeds in the middle, and the thighs laterally. The two pectoral mammae 
have the usual form and disposition ; immediately above the union of the ossa pubis, 
about one-fourth of an inch from the anus, and two lines distant from each other, 
are situated two cylindrical warts or papillary tubes, above a line in length, regarding 
the purpose of which, the opinion of the most eminent naturalists is still divided. 
Among the various Javanese species, these organs are particularly prominent and 
conspicuous in the Rhinolophus larvatus, and a careful and accurate view of them is 
given on the Plate. They became obvious only in this species, after removing the 
covering of the body. This consists of very long, close, silky hairs, very soft to the 
touch, and closely investing the body, both above and underneath. Its greater thick- 
ness on the neck and breast forms a peculiarity among the Javanese species, in our 
animal, and in the Rhinolophus nobiHs. 
The length of the anterior extremities is moderate, and the membrane presents 
nothing peculiar; the thumb is, provided with a sharp claw, and the index is 
without a phalanx. The form of the interfemoral membrane is regulated by the
