The present species, although not placed first on the list, is, I 

 believe, quite as typical of the genus as the one preceding it. The 

 top of the head is quite as much elevated as in that species ; and the 

 face is similarly depressed, and densely hairy ; the nostrils, too, pre- 

 sent precisely the same form and position. The ears are somewhat 

 longer in relation to their breadth and to the size of the animal than 

 in K. picta, and have their points less acute and directed upwards, 

 instead of outwards as they are in that species. They are thickly 

 and conspicuously dotted with glandular dots. The tragus is fully 

 two-thirds of the length of the ear, is narrow, and tapers evenly to a 

 very acute point. It has a very slight outward curvature for its 

 whole length, and has a projecting point on its outer edge, close to 

 its base. 



The body of the animal is small, and all the membranes very much 

 developed, nearly as much so as in Natalus. 



The thumb is rather long, and the basal phalange less than half 

 its entire length ; the feet are rather large, with the toes taking up 

 half of their length, and the outer one a little shorter than the others, 

 as it is also in K. picta and K. Hardwickii. The wing-membranes 

 extend exactly to the base of the toes ; and the os calcis is two- 

 thirds of the length from the foot to the end of the tail. 



The hair of the face presents some differences from that of the 

 last species. In K. picta that which borders and fringes the lips is 

 of the same peculiar soft and woolly texture as the rest of the fur 

 of the head and face ; that of K. papulosa, on the contrary, is strong
