13 e. Rhinolophus affinis nesites View in CoL , subsp. n.

Rhinolophus affinis Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., Proc. Wash. Ac. Sci. View in CoL iii. (1901) p. 135.

Diagnosis. External characters: As superans, but smaller, and with shorter tibia. Cranial characters unknown.

Type. ♀ ad. (in alcohol). Bunguran Isl., N. Natunas, Aug. 24th, 1900. Collected by Dr. W. L. Abbott. Un. St. Nat. Mus.

no. 104753 .

Remarks. This is evidently an ofishoot of the Malacca form, Rh. a. superans, isolated on the outlying N. Natunas, and developed into a well-marked race (or species). It still shows some of the chief characters of superans: the large ears, broad horse-shoe, and short tail; but, to judge from the metacarpals (the forearms are broken), it is decidedly smaller, it would seem still a little smaller than Rh. a. tener, and the tibia is very short. The skull is so much damaged that I have only been able to examine the teeth and the lower jaw.
