Rhinolophus garoensis . Rhinolophus garoensis, Dobson, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bong. 1872, p. 337 ; Monogr. Asiat. Chiropt. p. 48, figs, a, b, c (1876). Ears acutely pointed, with a large antitragus as in Rh. affini «. Anterior vertical process of the sella maintaining the same breadth upwards and rounded-off above, considerably exceeded in height by the upper edge of the connecting-process, which develops a long acutely pointed projection; terminal portion of the posterior leaf broad, with straight sides, forming almost an equilateral triangle. Wing-membrane from the ankles; interfemoral membrane square behind; extreme tip of the tail free. The second lower premolar stands in the tooth-row, and, although much smaller than the first premolar, is not minute. The type of this species was obtained by Major H. H. Godwin- Austen in the Garo hills; and the following measurements show it to be probably the smallest known species of the genus:— Length , head and body 1"'5, tail 0"’7, head 0"-6, ear 0"-5, antitragus O' '-2, noseleaf 0"’4 X O',-2, forearm " - 3 , thumb O' '-2, third finger 2”, fifth finger " -7, tibia O',-6, foot 0"-3. Hab. Garo hills, Assam; Himalaya (Masuri). This small species is closely allied to Rh. minor, Horsfield, from which the broad terminal portion of the nose-leaf, not emarginate on the sides, distinguishes it. Type in the collection of the Indian Museum, Calcutta.
