Earn. The ears are moderately long, laid forward they extend about 

 half way from eye to tip of muzzle. Anterior border of conch strongly 

 convex at base, then very gently convex to rather broadly rounded tip. 

 Posterior border straight to middle, then slightly and evenly 'convex to 

 faint notch marking boundary of very narrow and rudimentary unthick- 

 ened antitragus. The posterior border terminates slightly in front of 

 anterior border and (i mm. behind angle of mouth. Both surfaces of ear 

 smooth, the inner, however, with six or seven small but distinct cross 

 ridges near posterior border, and a few inconspicuous scattered hairs. 

 Tragus upright, acutely pointed, sometimes deeply notched at tip. An 

 terior border perceptibly thickened, nearly straight, slightly convex 

 above. Point acute. Posterior border irregularly convex, occasionally 

 so narrowly and deeply notched above that the tip appears bifid. Op 

 posite anterior base there is a broad shallow notch, and below this t he- 

 posterior border is more abruptly convex to. base.

 rather broad and shallow Y-shaped groove, the edges of which are irreg
