Diagnosis. — Allied to ii. arahicvs, but f-maller, with tlie imizzle 

 shorter and slenderer, tlie tip of the ears not attenuated, the jiollex 

 markedly shorter, wings shfirter, cs]jecial]y the first and second 

 phalanx of the third digit, and the loot smaller. Porcaim 80-5- 

 87"5 mm. 



^ill•uU and teeth. — Similar to those of Ji. arahicvs, but skull 

 averaging a little smaller, rostium slendeier; preniaxillaries ratlier 

 more strongly projecting forward, palalion border more t'harjily 

 angulate. Teeth on the whole ratlier smaller, raolais somewhat 

 narrower ; p' not deciduous, unless perhaps in very aged individuals 

 (cf. li. femini(tlns) ; m^ quite or almost equalling m, in length ; 

 m, elliptical in outline (cf. 2i. umph x.cuudaiits). 



Fulate-ridges. — 4 + 3 -+- 1 ; number and arrangement as in 

 U. leucJii. 



External cliaraeiers. — Muzzle averaging shorter and slenderer 

 than in Ii. arahievs. IShaj e of ears as in Ii. Jeae^i '■ outer miuh 

 more convex than inner margin, tip broad, not attenuated as in 

 li. arahinis; aiititragal lohe small, rounded. 



General size neaily always smaller Ihan in Ii. aralicvs : forearm 

 80-O-87-5 uim., against 87-90. Eirst digit absolutely shorter: 

 length with claw '26-o-2i)-tj mm., against ;-50-;H;i in arubicus ; also 

 jiroportioniilly the difference in this respect is well marked : index 

 of iiist digit in Ii. lesvlunardti '6'65, in Ii. arahievs li'il. Second 

 digit shorter, the tip of its claw in A', hsc/ienaulti as a rule falling 

 a little short of, in Ii. arahiens as a rule being on a level with or 

 reaching beyond, the tip of the third metacarpal. Metacaipals and
