Type.- -Chilophylla Jiirsuta, new specii 



Characters. Noseleaf consisting <>!' an ill-differentiated horseshoe 

 ami lancet, the former produced anteriorly as a pair of conspicuous 

 lappets separated by a deep median sinus and projecting noticeably 

 beyond margin of upper lip, each lobe formed largely by an elongated 

 supplemental leaflet which continues forward the outline of the 

 obliquely truncate horseshoe proper; the upper lip very low, much 

 less noticeable than lappets, with small upright median process and 

 two ill-defined cross-flutings ; nostril at inner border of a pit, the raised 

 edges of which form a somewhat diamond-shaped figure; a freely pro- 

 jecting ligulate process at outer corner of diamond : a projecting wart 

 within pit directly over opening of nostril : space bet ween nostrils occu- 

 pied by a freely projecting, somewhat bilobate process, rather broader 

 than high (faintly suggesting a rudimentary "sella" without connect- 

 ing process) ; below this process is another, somewhat smaller and deeply 

 bilobate, each lobe connected by a ridge with inner edge of correspond- 

 ing lappet of horseshoe; a low slightly curved ridge above nostril at a 

 distance about equal to vert ical diameter of diamond ; outer extrem- 

 ity of this ridge approaching, but not actually reaching, a wart-like 

 excrescence situated near margin of horseshoe: ear verv large, the 

 inferior lobe greatly developed and producing a funnel-like general 

 form, the substance of ear everywhere thin and pellucid, with no 

 trace of ridges in region of meatus. Thumb with metacarpal about 

 one-fourth as long as that of third finger, the phalanges and claw 

 short, their combined length only about one-third that of metacarpal: 

 leg and foot slender, but with no special peculiarities of form: calcar 

 reduced to a mere tubercle; wine- membrane inserted at ankle; ante- 

 brachial membrane extending outward as a broad fold to include 

 entire metacarpal of thumb, its width so great as to form a conspicuous 

 pouch at bases of metacarpals; interfemoral membrane narrow, 

 barely extending to rudimentary calcar; tail very short, its length 

 about half that of femur. Skeletal and dental characters not known.
