Show 1 9 0 5 . ] OF THE GENUS RHINOLOPHUS. 1 2 5 Colour. 2 a(l., skin; Perak; March; teeth almost unworn. Very different from Rh. lepidus. General effect of the colour of the upper side : a dark shade of " Prout's brown " with a tinge of " liair-brown." On closer examination the fur of the upper side proves to be composed of two kinds of hair : longer, thinner, straight hairs, quite black ; and somewhat shorter, crinkled hairs of a " hair-brown " colour; the mixture of the colours of these two kinds of hair produces the general effect. Base of hairs of upper side not lighter coloured. The fur of the upper side has a silvery reflection (iridescence). Under side between " broccoli-brown " and " hair-brown." A spirit-specimen from Selangor ( 3 ad., apparently the same age) is of the same colour. Shull. In addition to the characteristic in the diagnosis: the " maxillar width," across the antero-external corner of m ‘ (a character subject to exceedingly small individual variation in the species of the lepidus-section) is somewhat larger, giving this part of the skull a somewhat broader aspect: 6-5-6'7 mm.; in lepidus 6'2 mm. Gap in front between the maxillary bones somewhat larger. Dentition (two skulls). p3 external. p2 and p4 almost or quite Measurements of Rh. lepidus, monticola, and refulgens.
