Miller — Five New Mammals from Tropical America. '■'>'■'> 



Specimen* examined. — Two, both from the type locality. 



Remarks. — The skull of the type is smaller than any of the -1*1 skulls of 

 Brachyphylla cavernarum with which I have compared it. That of the 

 male is less reduced, its condylobasal length, 27.8 nun., exactly equalling 

 that of the smallest female in the series of cavernarum ( No. 106,058 from 

 St. Vincent). The Barbadan animal is therefore less differentiated than 

 the Cuban B. nana. 



Ardops annectens sp. nov. 



Type. —Adult female (in alcohol), No. 113,502, U.S. National .Museum. 

 Collected on the Island of Guadeloupe, Lesser Antilles, February 1, 1902, 

 by H. Selwyn Branch. 



Diagnosis. — Like Ardops montserratensis (Thomas) and A. Incite Miller, 

 but intermediate in size, the length of forearm an<l of skull in each sex 

 obviously greater than in that of the latter ami less than in that of the 

 former. 



Measurements. — Type and adult male (No. 113,498), the latter in 

 parenthesis: head and body, 68 (61); tibia, 20 (18.6); foot, I I.e. (12.6); 

 forearm, 48.6 (48); thumb, 15.4 (15); third finger, 114 (106); fifth 

 finger, 78 (74); ear from meatus, 18 (17); condylobasal length of skull, 

 20.8 (19.2); greatest length of skull, 23.6 (22.2) ; zygomatic breadth, 15.4 

 (14. S) ; mastoid breadth, 13.2 (12.0); breadth of palate including m 1 , 

 10.2 (9.8); mandible, 14. (i (13.0); maxillary toothrow, 7.S (7.0); 

 mandibular toothrow, S.O (7.2). 



Specimens examined. — Five, all from the type locality. 



Remark*. — Though not conspicuously different from its allies Ardops 

 ainirrt, us appears to he constantly distinguishable from A. montserratensis 

 and A. lucise when individuals of the same sex are compared.

Diagnosis. — Like Promops fosteri (Thomas) but smaller (forearm

 and 50-53 respectively in seven males of fosteri). 



Measurements. — Head and body, 70 ± (70)*; tail, 32 dz (46); tibia,
