[2] 1.5 (1.5-1.6); length of palate from anterior foramina [2] 7; width 

 of palate including teeth [3] 6; greatest length of mandible [2] 12

Remarks. — The Jamaican form of the macleayii group is so very dis- 

 tinct from the other associated races that no general summary is neces- 

 sary. 



Specimens Examined. — Four alcoholic specimens: Lucea, Jamaica.

Type Locality. — Matto Grosso, Brazil. As Wagner afterward par- 

 ticularly mentioned St. Vincent, Matto Grosso, it is quite probable that 

 it was the exact locality from which the type was obtained. 



Distribution. — This species has a very extensive distribution, but as 

 specimens appear to be extremely rare and none are now at hand, the 

 records mentioned above constitute the only information. It will be 

 seen to range from Matto Grosso, Brazil, to Guatemala, and eastward 

 to Venezuela. 



Description. — As no specimens have been examined in this connec- 

 tion, Wagner's description and notes in the Miinchen Ahhandlungen 

 {vide supra) are here given : 



"Die Beschaffenheit der Ohren, der Klappe, der Nase, des Lippen- 

 besatzes imd der Schneidezahne ist ganz dieselbe wie bei Ch. fjymno- 

 notus.^"^ Die Sporen sind ebenfalls, aber nur sehr wenig, an den imtern 

 Theil des Schienbeins geheftet, und auch die Fliigel setzen sich etwas 

 tiefer an. Der Hauptunterschied liegt in der Behaarung, indem der 

 Riicken bei dieser Art eben so behaart ist als der iibrige Korper. Die 

 Farbe des Pelzes kann nicht mit Sicherheit angegeben werden, da das 

 einzige Exemplar in Brauntwein aufbewahrt ist. Sie scheint oben 

 schwarz oder dunkelbraun zu seyn, unten lichtbraun, indem hicr die 

 Haarspitzen weit heller sind. Mit Ch. ruhiginosa kann der verschied- 



'■-' This is Dermonotus fulvus.
