MUhr — Three Neir Bats from the Island of Curanio. 12."^ 



patagium including metacarpal of thumb. The membranes are practi- 

 cally naked throughout. 



Ffff. — The foot is long and strong, about two thirds length of tibia. 

 Toes essentially equal in length and distinctly longer than metatarsals. 

 Claws large, nearly one half as long as rest of foot. Calcar distinct, 5 

 mm. in length, its extreme tip projecting beyond membrane. 



7\n7. — The tail is very short, about equal to calcar, its tip forming a 

 minute projection on upper side of membrane.* 



Fu/' If /id riil ir. — The fur is very soft, but rather loose in texture. 

 Length at middle of back about 5 mm. It is closely confined to body, 

 reaching membranes in a very narrow line only. On humerus it extends 

 about to middl'^ both above and below. That of head covers basal third 

 of outer surface of ears. 



Color of dorscil surface hair brown irregularly lightened by appearance 

 at surface of the pale drab which occupies the basal two thirds of the 

 fur. This drab is paler than the ecru drab of Ridgway, but is distinctly 

 tinged with yellowish brown. Underparts pale Lsabella color, fading to 

 ecru drab on hanks and washed with hair brown on chin, throat and 

 chest, the hairs everywhere pale drab at base. Ears, feet and mem- 

 branes dark brown. 



Sk'iill. — The skull of Glir.iaopJniga dongnta is narrower and more elon- 

 gate than that of G. louf/inistrix and the braincase is smaller and less 

 elevated above the facet ine. The braincase rises above dorsal surface of 

 rostrum at an angle of about 20° in G. ehnignfn and G. mririiin, but of 

 scarcely 12° in G. longiroxtris. Rostrum slightly longer than in G. hmgi- 

 roxtriN, and distinctly shallower when viewed from the side, its dorsal 

 surface much more flattened, especially between orbits. Anterior nares 

 narrower and more elongate. Rudimentary vertical process of zygoma 

 as in G. hingirvxfrix and smaller than in G. xiiririnii. Mony palate behind 

 plain of last molar even narrower than in G. linigiroxtrix. Base of brain- 

 case as in G. linigiroxfrix, though the audital buUte are slightly smaller. 



7Wf/i. — The teeth are as in (-UnssophitgK foug/n/xfHx, except that the 

 incisors, absent in the Colombian species, are well developed, and rela- 

 tively larger than in G. xor/ri/ni. The ujiper incisors pi'oject so nearly 

 horizontally that when skull is viewed from directly above the entire 

 anterior face is visible. 



Mciixurcnifntx. — External measurements of type: total length, (io; tail 

 vertebra, o; tibia, l.'i.S: foot, 11.4; calcar, 5.4: forearm, 40; thumb, 

 10; longest finger, 78; ear from meatus, 14.6; ear from crown, 9.6; 

 width of ear, 11: height of noseleaf above edge of lip, 5.4; height of 

 noseleaf behind, 3: greatest width of noseleaf, 4. 



C.'anial measiu-ements of type: greatest length, 24.4; basal length, 

 22.2; basilar length, 20.4; zygomatic breadth, 9.8: interorbital breadth 



*In the origiiial description of Glon.wphnga liingiroxtrix the tail is stated, 

 on the authority of the collector (no trace of it can be seen in the dry 

 specimen) to b3 18 mm. in length. This measurement without dovibt 



refers to width of inMpalMgium.
