Eemar/,-s.—-Thia peculiar species, the type of the subgenus Steiio- 

 nj/cteris, is chietly characterized by the thin, almost papery condition 

 of the bones of the skull, the unusually strong deflection of the 

 brain-case, the extremely narrow cheek-teeth, the practically 

 complete obliteration of the aniitragal lobe, the insertion of the 

 wings on the second instead of the first toe, and the long and coarse 

 t'ur. Though much reduced in size the molars do not difi'er in 

 structure from those of otlier species of the genus. In the quality 

 of the fur It. laiwsus is unlike any species oi liousettus, but closely 

 similar to the coarse-haired species of Pteropus.
