On a new species of Rfiinolophtis from 
Pondoland. 
By Lewis Henry G-ough, Pli.D. 
Two skins of an apparently new species of Rhinolophus 
were found in a small collection of skins prepared by Mr. H. H. 
Swmny, Ngqeleni, District W. Pondoland, which I propose 
to describe under the name 
Rhinoloplitts swinnyi, n. sp. 
Size very small, not as large as the smallest yet known 
South African species of the genus. 
Posterior upper praemolar separated from the canine, 
which is very large, anterior praemolar very small, in the 
tooth row, towards its outer side.

Noseleaves, seen vertical to “horse-shoe.” X3- The hairs on the noseleaves 
have been left out. 
Noseleaves from side. X3. The hairs on the noseleaves have been left out. 
Horizontal portion of sella narrow, upper margin of the 
posterior connecting process rising above the sella, forming a 
marked projection, rounded terminally ; sides of the vertical 
process of the sella parallel above, summit truncated with 
rounded off sides. Antitragal notch very shallow. 
Horse shoe large, circular, its anterior margin notched in 
the centre ; lancet moderate, its sides strongly concave, 
covered posteriorly with fur similar to that on the rest of the 
head, anteriorly somewhat less dense. Ears of medium 
size, the under edge convex m the distal half, then concave, 
convex again proximally, the concave portion very short. 
Tip sharply pointed, upper half of the outer margin concave,
