 genera of the Itovseltus section Lave the normal number of pre- 

 molars and molars (''), except Styloctcniwa, which has lost the 

 small nij, and JJohsonia, which has lost the small p'. All genera of 

 the Epomophoriis section have lost p', m'', and m^ (^ cheek-teeth), 

 except Fhrotes, which has lost only m% and retained p' and m,, in 

 a rudimentary state. All genera of the Cynopterus section have 

 lost m* and m^ (* check-teeth), except Myonycteris, which has the 

 full numher of check-teeth (but m^ and m^ are quite small), 

 Bulionyetcris, which has lost only m^ (but m' is minute), and 

 JJyacopterus, which has lost not only m^ and m^, but also the small 

 p'. All Jilacrofjlosshue have the normal cheek-tooth formula (j!)^ 

 except Eonycteris rosenherrji, which has lost m,, fin the other species 

 of Eonycteris m^ is usually very small, and adult individuals 

 occasionally occur in whicli it is absent at least on one side),
