206 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [Feb., 



Membranes and Fur. — Membranes thin and rather papery in char- 

 acter; transverse nerves of the endopatagium and mesopatagiiim very 

 regularly disposed ; propatagium much as in madeayii, but the distal 

 portion is rather narrower ; uropatagium rather large, extending beyond 

 the enclosed portion of the tail a distance equal to the same. Fur of 

 moderate length and extending evenly a short distance out on the 

 dorsal surface of the endopatagium ; both surfaces of the endopatagium 

 and uropatagium with scattered inconspicuous hairs; muzzle ^\ith a 

 number of long setiform hairs. 



Color. — As the only available specimen is an old alcoholic individual, 

 the colors are possibly not what might be seen in fresh specimens. 

 Above vandyke-l^rowii, rather pale on the loins ; l^eneath drab, with a 

 clouding of pale whitish. Muzzle, naked spots on head and ears wood- 

 brown, the latter rather darker than the other portions. IMembranes 

 mummy-bro'^Ti, paler on the propatagium, proximal portions of the 

 endopatagium and uropatagium than on the remaining sections. 

 Dobson describes the color as follow's: "Fur orange above and beneath 

 with orange-brown extremities ; darker above, paler beneath." 



Skull. — Comparatively short and robust, the rostral portion moder- 

 ately inflated and the nasal depression rather broadly and deeply exca- 

 vated. Brain considerably inflated and moderately elevated above 

 the rostrum, into wliich it evenly descends, crests hardly visible; 

 zygomata moderately expanded ; interorbital constriction not strongly 

 marked. Palate subequal in width (not including teeth), moderately 

 arched, posterior projection of little extent, the cleft obtuse-angulate ; 

 pterygoids strongly divergent. Mandible very similar to that of C. 

 rnacleayii, but the length is less, the build heavier and the angle dis- 

 tinctly falcate. 



Teeth. — Upper median incisors broad, rather faintly bilobate; lateral 

 upper incisors small and closely pressed to the median pair and sepa- 

 rated from the canines by a considerable space ; upper canines moder- 

 ately long, very slightly curved ; first upper premolar oblong in basal 

 outline, longitudinal disposed and bearing a single low cusp; second 

 upper premolar subpentagonal in basal outline, the single cusp acute 

 and subcaninif orm ; first and second upper molars with the hypoconid 

 region developed into a rather projecting rounded lobe which is very 

 apparent. Lower incisors small, trifid; lower canines straight; first 

 lower premolar subrotundate in basal outline with the cusp rather 

 blunt; second lower premolar minute and displaced to the inner side 

 of the toothrow; third lower premolar subquadrate in basal outline; 

 lower molars very much as in C macleayii.
