rather wide, slightly excavated at top, and somewhat spoon-shaped : 

 the posterior half decreases rapidly in width, is more elevated at its free 

 termination, and has a deep notch on it, which causes the divided por- 

 tion to appear like a pyramidal projection. 



4th. Frontal Leaf. — This is a somewhat flattened membranous ex- 

 pansion, slightly ridged along the medio-longitudinal line, and having 

 a marginal outline resembling a scalene triangle, the base being situated 

 near the posterior termination of the nasal disc, and the apex reaching 

 to nearly half the length of the ears : it is separated by a deep constriction 

 from the nasal disc, and attached to the forehead by its inferior half: on 

 the latter part there are two transverse, rather prominent leaflets, the an- 

 terior one rising from the basal or anterior margin. The posterior half 

 is considerably elevated, and has the apex or termination curving slightly 

 forward. The whole of this structure is thinly beset with long bristly 

 hairs. 



As regards the habitat of the specimen which has been described, I 

 have not been able to obtain any knowledge ; but I suspect that its sta- 

 tion was within a radius of a few miles beyond where it was captured. 

 I reside about two miles from Galway on the Dublin Road ; and not far 

 from my residence there are two or three places, an old castle in Merlin 

 Park, and a subterranean passage in a so-called Danish fort : possibly 

 one of these may have served as its habitation.
