38 Zoological Miscellany. 
H. speoris and H. elongatus, and the rest are without it as H. diadema, 
H. larvatus, H. vulgaris and H. deformis, all from Asia, and H. tridens 
from Africa. 
Gen. Barbastellus. Barbastelle. 
The ears large and united together at the base over the forehead which 
has a bare longitudinal furrow with indexed bald edges; the nostrils 
terminate with a lunate groove on their outer side extending behind the nos- 
trils, and with a small elevated membranaceous ridge extending across 
the nose and uniting the back edges of the grooves together. 
The Australasian Barhastdle. Barbastellus Pacificus. Blackish ; 
the ears very long, nearly twice as long as the head, Inhab. the Islands 
of the Southern Pacific, Mr. Stutchbury. Collection of the British 
Museum ; in spirits. I have also observed in the collection of the Linneaii 
Society a stuffed Bat apparently of this genus, it is mouse-coloured above, 
and rather paler beneath, with dark membranes. It differs from the above 
in the ears being much shorter, and may be indicated as the New Holland 
Barbastelle, B. JVovcb Hollandice. 
Gen. Plecotus, Geoffroy. Long-eared Bat. 
This genus was proposed by Geoffroy, but has not been generally adopted, 
however it has a very good external character in the form of the nostrils, 
which at once distinguish it from the common Bats, they being like the 
above genus furnished with a groove on the outer side, their forehead is also 
naked. The P. aurilus and P. Barbastellus both have this character. 
The Bats, the Vespertiliones of Geoffroy, might for convenience be 
divided into three genera, the true Bats, Vespertilio, with thin ears and 
membranes and a hairy face, the Pachyotus with thick ears and membranes 
and bald swollen cheeks, including the genera Nycticejus and Scotophihis 
and the hairy-tailed species of America, f Lasiurus.J

Body subcylindrical ; rather depressed; skin minutely warty; head 
small ; upper jaw minutely toothed ; parotids and ears indistinct ; legs 
short; fore toes quite free, tapering to a point; hind toes long webbed to

of a Toad. Only a single species is known. 
The Lurid Houlema, Houlema obscura. Olive, beneath pale 
olive, blackish marbled. 
Gen. Kaloula. Fam. Bombinatoridce. 
Body gibbous, mouth beneath tubercular; head small; teeth none, 
tympanum and parotids none; legs short; toes 4-5, free to the base, 
subcylindrical; the last joint of the front ones dilated, ovate, truncated, 
of the hind ones like the lower joints, blunt. 
Beautiful Kaloula. Kaloula pidchra. Black brown; black spotted; 
beneath pale; with a broad band across the forehead and the fore legs, and 
one on each side extending from the eye to the groin, rose red.
