APPENDIX. 
“ This species of Rliinoloplius is remarkable for haying the 
complicated fleshy appendages of the muzzle divided in the 
longitudinal direction. Each half of this apparatus is composed 
of two leaflets, the margins of which are free, though but little 
elevated ; the foremost of these is shaped somewhat like the 
human ear, and terminates in front in a small prominent lobe, 
which is situated over the opening of the nostril; the second or 
hindmost leaflet on each side approaches to a circular form. 
Upon separating these four leaflets, a large pit is observable 
on the upper surface of the muzzle, and the hinder margin of 
this pit terminates in a nearly semicircular and slightly elevated 
flesliy ridge, which is densely covered with fur. The ears are 
large, rounded at the extremity, but inclining to a pointed form, 
and separated from each other on the top of the head by a space 
of about two and a half lines in width; on the inner side, and 
towards the base, is a narrow oblique ridge; the tragus is about 
two and a half lines in length, narrow, I’ounded at the extremity, 
and somewhat dilated near the base on the outer margin. The 
wing and inter-femoral membranes join the foot at the base; 
the latter extends to the extremity of the tail, which terminates 
in a bifurcated cartilage; numerous minute papillae are observ- 
able on the margin of the inter-femoral membrane. The general 
colour of the animal in spirit is grey-brown, but with an ashy 
tint on the under pai*ts of the body, and is darker than that of 
the BMnolophti^s Hippo^ideros of authors, 
Rhinolophus LanderL (Martin, in Proo. Zool. Soc. Lond., 
1837 .)
