teats thus lying free from the surrounding hair are at once accessible to the young at 
birth. M. R. Rollinat and Dr. Trouessart i have pointed out that in the Rhinolophine 
bats the young are almost always found attached to the pubic teats and not to the 
pectoral mammae. They regard them simply as organs for enabling the young to 
hold on to their mother, and not as lacteal structures. 
The bat recorded by Heuglin 2 from Egypt under the name of R. capensis, Licht., is 
probably this species.

Ear acutely pointed, slightly shorter than the head, internal border very slightly 
emarginate immediately below the tip, then faintly convex, afterwards straight, followed 
by a marked convexity passing down to its base ; external border marked by a deep 
convexity below the tip, then sweeping outwards and downwards to the antitragus, 
which is of moderate depth. Horizontal nose-membrane nearly circular, almost 
covering the muzzle anteriorly, but not covering its sides, its anterior notch without 
papillm. The sella more or less concave on its side, narrowest at its centre, the 
rounded summit as broad as its base ; its height is considerably exceeded by the apex 
of the connecting process behind, which is obtusely conical Avhen viewed from the side, 
and rather well clad with long fine straight hairs. Posterior leaf broadly triangular 
and rather obtusely pointed, sparsely covered with long fine straight hairs. Wings 
arising from the ankles. Interfemoral membrane arising above the ankle, the extreme 
tip of tail projecting beyond it. Calcaneum moderately developed.
