. Bonner zoologische Monographien. Zoology. THORN & KERBIS PETERHANS, SMALL MAMMALS OF UGANDA Africa. Andersen (1906), Hill (1963), and Koopman (1975) assumed diat a form r^^r centralis" or "//. c. ruber" replaced smaller H. c. caffer through Ugan- da, and Hill attributed a wide range of dimensions to it. Our incomplete study using the nasal chamber criteria of Lawrence (1964) and considering the au- diograms of Pye (1972), indicates a relatively large subspecies of Hipposideros cajfer that shares much of central and western Uganda with true H. ruber ruber. This large H. caffer also occurs in western highland forests of Kenya, and in northeastern D. R. Congo (Heller 1992). J. Allen (1917) considered it possible that some of his specimens from D. R. Congo were H. c. angolensis. Lawrence (1964) was aware that large H. caffer overlaps in range with H. ruber, but her at- tribution of it to (small) H. caffer nanus (Allen 1917) seems untenable. Aellen (1952) and Booth (1960) re- ported H. c. angolensis from Cameroon and Ghana. The western Uganda H. caffer is comparable in size with typical angolensis and seems generally confused with H. ruber ruber in collections, with which it over- laps in size (Hill & Morris 1971). Our criteria of echo- location differences may or may not be reconcilable with recent studies (Guillen et al. 2000). Fig. 15 dis- plays the Ugandan distribution. Western. Budongo (LACM)..
