PTKR0PU3 DOBSONI, 



I9i 



iu all races of Pt. lirj pomelnnus) ; maxillary width externall}' across 

 ni'-m' 19-5 mm. (16-5-19). 



Teeth. — Scarcely differing in structure from those of Ft. hypo- 

 melaniis, but cheek-teeth conspicuously larger, particularly broader; 

 m*, length (longitudinal diameter) 6-2 mm., against 4-S-5'9 in all 

 forms oi Ft. hi/jiiomdaniis, -width. 3-7, against 2-9-3'5 ; m,, length 

 5-8 mm., against ■4-2-5-2, width 3*S, against 2'8-3-2. The increase 

 in the size of m^, as compared with Pt. hypomelanus, appears to be 

 relatively larger than of the other cheek-teeth. For further details 

 compare measurements, p. 109, with those of Ft. hypomelanus, 

 pp. 1 18 and 131. — Cingulum of upper canines well defined but 

 narrow. Posterior ledge of p' and p' short but distinctly marked 

 off from tooth postero-externally. i^ fully twice the size of i,. 

 p, about twice the size of i.^, larger than m^. Posterior ledge of 

 Pj, and p^ quite short and rather ill-defined. — The peculiar shape 

 and position of m" described and figured by Dobson {l.s.e.) is, 

 no doubt, an individual abnormality in^tlie single specimen known. 

 Ekirs. — As in Ft. hypomelanus ; scarcely attenuated above, tip 

 rather narrowly rounded off. 



Wings and tibia. — Membranes arising about 15 mm. apart from 

 sides of back. Length of forearm (144-5 mm.) in a slightly 

 immature specimen as in the largest specimens of Ft. liypomeJanus 

 (maximum 145'5 mm.), but metacarpals and phalanges decidedly 

 longer ; compare measurements, p. 198, with those of Ft. hypo- 

 melanus, p. 130. — -Lower leg G8o mm., against 54-5-66 in all races 

 of Pt. hypomelanus. 



Inierfemoral. — Practically undeveloped in centre. 

 Far. — Closely adprossed on back. Length, back about 11, 

 mantle 13, belly 12 mm. Least width of furred area of back 

 about 37 mm. Forearm and tibia naked above. 



Cohw (type). — Back and rump sepia, strongly and uniformlv 

 suffused with a peculiar tinge of golden huffy approaching Isabella; 

 seal-browQ base of fur concealed on back, partly exposed on pos- 

 terior portion of rump. — Breast, belly, and flanks dark vandyck- 

 brown thinly sprinkled with pale golden buffy hairs. — Mantle burnt- 

 umber with mara-browu bases to the hairs, darkening to seal- 

 brown with vandyck-brown hair-bases on sides of neck and 

 foreneck. — Occiput and crown similar to mantle, passing into 

 seal-brown on sides of head, throat, and chin. 

 Measurements. On pp. 108, 199. 

 Specimen examined. One, the type. 



Ilange. The single specimen on record is ticketed Celebes. 

 Type in collection. 



Nomenclature. — The name proposed by Dobson for this species is 

 preoccupied by Ft. fuscus, E. Geoff., 1803 { = Ft.niger, Kerr, 1792), 

 Pt.fuscvs, Desm., 1803 {=Pt. stihniger, Kerr, 1792), and Ft. fuscvs, 

 Blainville, 1840 (= Ft. vampyrus malaccensis, K. And., 1908).
