Notes From Elsewhere

surgeon
Some years ago, in the Proceedings of the Geological Society, (iii. 52.) I described a species of RHINOLOPHUS, from Moreton Bay, which was peculiar for the large size of its ears, hence named R. MEGAPHYLLUS; the one now about to be described, which was found flying near the hospital at Port Essington, by Dr. Sibbald, R.N., is as peculiar for the brightness and beauty of its colour, the male being nearly as bright an orange as the Cock of the rock (RUPICOLA) of South America
The syntype for the species in located at the British Museum of Natural History, the note stating it was collected at Port Essington "near the hospital".[6] Gould elucidates the type's collection as an animal shot from the air by Dr. Sibbald of the Royal Navy
