IHa;f)Wsis. — Similar to li. leschenauM, bttt m^ suljcireular in 

 outline, ears narrower. Forearm 77-S7"2 mm. 



Skull and teeth. — Skull essentially as in Jt. hf'clunaulti, but 

 avera^^ing smaller; rostrum proportionally .slenderer. — Teeth 

 smaller: maxillary row 12-8-14:2 mm., against 14-15-7 in 7i. /e- 

 srJwnaulti. m^ subcircnlar in outline, not elliptical as in It. leschen- 

 aitlti. In li. amj^)lexicaudatu.si there is a distinct tendency to a 

 reduction of the interspace between the upper canine and p\ i^ 

 being in some individuals rather closely wedged in between those 

 two teeth ; but the character is not iixed, many examples (inde- 

 pendent of geographical habitat) having the interspace c-p' as 

 broad, and p' as distinctly separated from either of these teeth, 

 as li. lexelienaulti; li. amplexicaudntns forms in this respect a 

 transition between R. ItsehenavUi and by-ac/njoiis, in which latter p^ 

 is deciduous, c and p'' occasimially in contact. 



r(date-rid</es.—4 + '3+\, as in E. le^rhenaulti, rarely 4 + 4-4-1 

 (specimen " b " in the list below). 



Frternal chnracters. — Muzzle averaging shorter and slenderer 

 than in li. le.s-rheiianlti: length from tVont of eye to tip of nostrils 

 i;$-5-15-5 mm., against 14-8-16 in li. lescJienanlti. Ears much 

 narrower: greatest width 12-13, ag-ainst 14-5-15-5 in li. Icschen- 

 aidti; tip of ear not attenuated; antitragal lobe small, rounded. 

 Tail averaging longer, tibia markedly shorter than in li. lefchenaidti. 



Quality and distribution of fur as in It. UscJienaalti ; upperaide of 

 tibia almost naked. Colour of fur as a rule distinctly darker than 

 in li. lesrhinatdti: head, bark, and rump varying from dark Trout's 

 brown to dark olive or sepia-brown ; nape from wood-brown to 

 broccoli-brown ; sides of neck and forencck more or less suffused 

 ■with wood-brown or lawny olive in males, broccoli-brown in females ; 

 chest, breast, and belly dark greyish drab, sometimes inclining to 

 wood-brown.
