upon the vertex. As a new species the M. Waterhousii also finds its placehere : “ colore murino, abdoraine pallidiore, prosthemate lanceolato.” Body2-i", tail 1" 2"', ears 1", 2"'. From Hayti. The genus Maorotis has alsobeen found upon Jamaica . (Ann. of Nat. Hist, xiii, p. 224.) Two newspecies have been added to G. Megaderma. (1) if. spectrum, Wagn.: “supraschistaceo-cinereum; subtus albidum; prosthemate verticali, mediocri, ovali;trago lanceolato, iutus appendicula ovato acuto; unguibus albidis.” FromCashmere . (Baron v. Hiigel’s Kaschmir iv, S. 569, with fig.) (2) if.philippinense, Waterh.: “ supra cinereo-fuscum, subtus cinereum; prosthe-mate verticali fere ovali, ad apicem subtruncato, horizontali paulo minori,cordiformi; auribus permagnis ; trago elongato, attenuato, acuto, ad basinantice lobo mediocri acuto instructo.” (Ann. of Nat. Hist, xiii, p. 304.)
Gymnorhina. Chilonycteris has been increased with one species by Gray.Ch. fuliginosus: “supra fuliginosus, fusco-tinctus, subtus fuscescens, gulafemoribusque ad basin rufescentibus; auribus elongatis, attenuatis, acutis.”From Hayti. (Ann. of Nat. Hist, xiii, p. 68.) There likewise, Gray hasgiven further illustrations of his genus Phyllodia, and characterized the onlyknown species thus: Ph. Parnelii; “ auribus magnis subacutis; vellerecinerascenti-fusco, pilis ad apicem obscurioribus.” From Jamaica .
The Horseshoe Bats have received the most considerable accession ofspecies. (1) Bhinolophusgigas, Wagn.: “ maximus, fuliginosus, capite, dorsilateribus gastrseoque albidis; auriculis elongatis angustis; cauda brevi.”From Benguela . (vid. our Archiv. 1845, s. 148.) (2) Rh. Martini, Fras.,
distinguished from the others by the membrano-tegumentary apparatus of thesnout not being divided longitudinally. From West Africa . (Ann. of Nat.Hist. xiii, p. 73.) (3) Rh. pygmteus, Wat.: prosthemate superiore scmicir-
culari; corpore supra nigricante (pilis ad basin albescentibus), subtuscinerascente; auribus acutis ad latus exterius distinete emarginatis. (4)Rh. philippinensis, Wat., is nearly related to Rh. eurysotis, but differs there-from in the much larger size of the accessory ear-lobe and the truncatedform of the most anterior of the nasal laminrn. The two latter species arcfrom the Philippine Islands . (Ann. of Nat. Hist, xiii, p. 303.)
Nilsson has shown that Linnams’s Vespetilio murirms is the V. discolor ofNeuer. (Forhandl. vid. de skand. Naturf. 1843, p. 436; Isis, 1845, S. 436.)
Tcmminck, has in the ‘ Fauna Japonica, Mammal .’ dec. 2, finished hisdescription of the Japanese Shrews . He characterizes the Sorex indicus,S. Dzi-Nezumi, and S. umbrinus, the first two of which are also figured.In treating of S. indicus our author takes pains to inquire into its veryconfused synonymy, and remarks, that in the systematic lists the S.
