In my original description of this species, I did not notice the white spot on the shoulder, very correctly described by Mr. Ramsay, as it was completely concealed from view in the specimens examined by me (owing to the manner in which the dry skins were preserved, the wings being brought forward in front of the head); nor have I referred to the yellow spots on the wings, which, as they do not appear in this specimen, may be accidental. PHYLLORHINA TRICUSPIDATA. Rhinolophus tricuspidatus, Temm. Monogr. Mammal, ii. p. 20, pl. 32. figs. 11, 12 (1835-41). An immature specimen with light-brown fur, of a dull shade throughout, very different from the bright reddish brown fur of the adult individual from the same locality referred to in my former paper. PHYLLORHINA CERVINA. Rhinolophus cervinus, Gould, Mammals of Australia, iii. pl. xxxiv. (1853). A careful examination of the additional specimens in this collection has shown me that I was mistaken in referring to Ph. galerita, Cantor, of the Oriental region, a single specimen in the first collection, which really belongs to the Australian representative of that Phyllorhina cervina. Phyllorhina galerita. species. Recent specimens, and specimens preserved in alcohol, of this Australian species (Ph. cervina, Gould) are readily distinguished from the closely allied Ph. galerita by the much larger frontal glandular sac in adult males, by the much narrower anterior portion of the horizontal horseshoe-shaped nose-leaf (compare the woodcuts above), and by the much greater length of the calcaneum. In dried skins, however, these parts become so altered in appearance that it is almost impossible to distinguish the species. PHYLLORHINA CALCARATA. Phyllorhina calcarata, Dobson, P. Z.
