Habitat. Fernando Po, Western Africa. 
“ This beautiful little species of Bat is a genuine Ehinoloplms; 
tbe nasal appendages consist of a borse-sboe, a crest, and an 
cleyated leaf. Tbe borse-sboe is broad witb indications of a 
double furrow; its outer margin is free and bifid anteriorly. 
In its centre is placed a little cup-like depression with an 
elevated rim, from tbe back of wbicb rises a bifid crest, not 
mucb elevated; tbe larger apes is tbe posterior of tbe two. On 
each side of tins crest and behind it, tbe skin continued from 
tbe borse-sboe, and forming tbe base of the leaf, is furrowed by 
two deep but unequal stild, with a marked posterior ridge, 
elevated across tbe base of tbe leaf, wbicb latter ends in a short 
acute lanceolate point; posteriorly it is covered with short hairs, 
anteriorly it is nearly naked. Its length is two lines. The 
ears are large, broad, and pointed ; tbe outer margin is emar- 
ginated, and passes into a large rounded accessory lobe, closing 
tbe ear anteriorly. Tbe antihrachia are short, tbe thumbs small, 
tbe tibia slender. The fur is soft and delicate, and of a fine 
light or rufous chestnut, a little darker on the middle of the 
back; tbe wings are blackish. Captain W. Allen, R.N., brought 
this animal to England in 1834. 
Mr. Martin named it after tbe celebrated traveller, Richard 
Lander ; and, by a strange coincidence, tbe specimen forwarded 
to tbe Zoological Society, London, by Dr. Thomson, was shot 
near Lander’s grave. It is only met with in the more secluded 
parts of tbe woods at Fernando Po.
