Pur above and beneath uniformly dark brown, very long and dense. Of three
well-preserved spirit specimens, two males and one female, the measurements of all
parts, except the tail, correspond to the twentieth of an inch. In one male the tail
measures 1*10 inch.

Rhinolophus ccelophyllus, Peters, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1866, p. 426, pi. xxxv.
This extremely interesting species, which differs in the form of the nose-leaf
from all other species of the genus, has hitherto been represented by only a single
specimen collected by the late Lieutenant Beavan at Moulmein, and preserved in the
Berlin Museum. Among the collection made by Dr. Anderson during the second
Yunnan Expedition, I find specimens which differ in no respect from the type which
I have examined in the Berlin Museum.
In this species (which has been very fully described and figured by Professor
Peters) the posterior terminal leaf is shortly triangular in outline, formed of very
thick integument, and its surface is marked by a crucial aperture leading into a deep
cavity lined by hairs; the lower part of this aperture receives the posterior extremity
of the connecting laterally flattened portion of the central nose-leaf or sella,

Rhinolophus larvatus, Horsfd. Zoolog. Research, in Java.
The collection contained a large number of specimens, male and female, of this
species. The fur of all was similarly coloured, rich golden chestnut, contrasting
remarkably with the sombre hues of other individuals of the same species from
Assam. The same colour was observed in the type specimens from Java described
by Horsfield, so that the Burmese forms more closely resemble the Javanese t,ha,n
the Assamese.
The measurements of twelve adult individuals gave the following average
result:—

A single male specimen of considerably larger dimensions than hitherto recorded
for this species. Colour of the fur precisely similar to that of the specimens
of Ph. larvata described above, with which it was at first confounded, The species
is closely allied to Ph. larvata, which it resembles in the form of the nose-leaf and
frontal sac, but may be readily distinguished by the last caudal vertebra being completely
free from the interfemoral membrane and by the smaller ears,
