236 Elliot New Mammals from Mexico and San Domingo. 



Remarks. This is the largest member of the bridled weasel group yet 

 discovered. The nearest ally appears to be P.f. goldmani, but the differ 

 ence in the dimensions are so great that any comparison is useless. The 

 skulls of the two forms contrasted together exhibit in that of the present 

 species the following differences : Interorbital space narrower ; braincase 

 longer ; bullse much wider, longer and flatter ; pterygoid fossa longer, the 

 arch pointed ; teeth much larger and palate longer and wider. Specimens 

 were obtained by Messrs. Heller and Barber. 



Phyllostoma verrucossum sp. nov.

 lector's No. 3886. 



General characters. Size small ; V-shaped groove on lower lip margined 

 with eleven to thirteen warts; ears as in the genus; calcar shorter than

 orbital ly and the rostrum narrower anteriorly, while the upper occipital 

 outline is continuous. 



Color. Fore part of head above and face from ears to end of nose dark 

 fawn becoming brownish around eyes ; band from behind ears and over the 

 center of the back dark russet ; back of head and nape very dark mummy 

 brown ; chin, throat and breast whitish buff; rest of underparts olive gray

 number of examples were obtained by Messrs. Heller and Barber.
