The ears are larger than in that species, and the nose-leaf is also larger, considerably more extended in the antero-posterior direction, and differs moreover in structure. Rhinolophus Philippinensis. Rhinol. suproL obscure fuscus, suhtiis fusco-cinerescens ; auribus magnis, subacutis, ad latus ex-terius emarginatis , et lobe magna accessorio, ad apicem rotundato, instructis ; prosthemate maxima labo posteriare lanceolata, ante-riore valde elevata, ad apicem truncate, ad basin dilatata, hocferra-equino membraneo circumdato. unc. lin-Longitudo capitis cum corpora 1 11 caud(s 1 aurium 11 antibrachii 1 10 Alarum amplitude 10 6 This species belongs to the same section as the Rhinolophus ferrum-equinum, — the second section of Temminck's ' Monographies,' — and approaches most nearly to the R. euryatis of that author, from which however it may be readily distinguished by the much larger size of the accessory lobe of the ear, and the truncated form of the foremost of the two membranaceous nasal appendages. It also approaches, in the large size of the ears and great development of the nasal appen-dages, the R. luctus of Temminck, but is of smaller size ; the ears are rather less acutely pointed ; the accessory lobe at the base is longer and proportionally narrower, and the proportions of the nasal membrane differ. In spirit the colour of the fur is very dark brown ; on the under parts of the body rather paler than on the upper, and inclining to greyish. The nasal membranous appendages are very complicated, and being evidently on the same type as the R. luctus, I will compare them with the corresponding parts as shown in Tem-minck's figure of that species. The large decumbent horse-shoe membrane is the same as in luctus, and similarly notched in front. The foremost of the two elevated appendages is nearly the same, but the lateral lobes at the base are less produced and considerably smaller ; joining these lobes on each side is a small membranous fold extending outwards and backwards, and is attached to the horse-shoe membrane. The posterior lobe is lanceolate and more pointed than in luctus, has a transverse fold near its base as in that species, and is joined to the anterior truncated elcA^ated lobe by a longitudinally elevated membrane. The height of the posterior lanceolate lobe is 3;^ lines, and of the anterior lobe 2J lines, or rather more. On the side of the muzzle is a longitudinal fleshy ridge. The chin presents four warts, two at the tip and one on each side of these. The extreme point of the tail is free, the free portion being however not more than half a line in length. Lastly, Mr. Waterhouse called attention to a new species of Me-gaderma. Megaderma Philippinensis. Meg. suprci cinereo-fuscus, subtils
