4 Mr. J. E. Gray on some new Bats collected 



some acute prominences on its inner, and a series of rounded 

 tubercles on its outer edge ; the hinder tubercles are much the 

 largest. The lower lip is expanded, rather membranaceous, 

 variously folded and twisted, forming a complicated appear- 

 ance on the sides of the chin. There is a small smooth trian- 

 gular disk above, immediately in front of the lower cutting 

 teeth ; and directly in front of this is placed a rather large 

 four-sided expanded plate or disk, which has a quantity of 

 small close warts on its upper face, and two small diverging 

 appendages in the middle of its front edge. The front and 

 hinder edges of this plate are scalloped out. 



The ears are membranaceous, very large, broad, united over 

 the upper part of the nose, and dependent over the face, with 

 a slight notch on the upper part of the frdnt edge ; the lower 

 side is expanded, with a rounded lobe in front, and is conti- 

 nued into the folded lower lip. The tragus is lunate, with a 

 slight notch on the thickened front edge, and has a large ap- 

 pendage on the outer side of its upper part. The anti-tragus 

 is large and tubercular. The eyes are small, far back, near the 

 conchae of the ears, and have a large wart before and behind 

 them. 



The wings are long, rather wide, hairy beneath near the 

 sides, with rather wide marginal membranes inclosing the first 

 joint of the thumb. The interfemoral membrane is very large, 

 truncate at the tip, and furnished with many transverse and 

 five diverging lines from the tail. The tail is elongate, and 

 the last joint is elongated, tapering, and free in the upper 

 side of the interfemoral membrane. The legs are elongate, 

 slender; the ankle short, tapering; toes nearly equal, com- 

 pressed, and the heel bone very long and marginal.

Chilonycteris, Gray. Lipped Bat. Head conical, fore- 

 head high, convex ; nose obliquely truncated, smooth, with a 

 keeled toothed upper edge ; nostrils anterior, inferior ; lower 

 lip large, dilated, hairy, with a broad reflexed membranaceous 

 edge, furnished with a group of regular granular warts on the 

 middle of its upper surface, and with a similar smooth mem- 

 branaceous ridge behind it on the chin ; ears large, separate, 

 lateral, elongate, acute, with two folds on the front edge, and
