of p^ : sixth at back of p' ; seventh at middle of m' ; eighth at 

 back of m^ : ninth and tenth behind m^ ; eleventh to thirteenth 

 situated at palation border. 



Ears. — Small, almost hidden in the long fur ; when pressed 

 forward falling t-hort of hinder corner of eye by about 11 mm. 

 (Shape as in Pt. nir/er : tip sharply pointed, outer margin distinctly 

 concave below tip. Hinder face of conch clothed with thinly 

 spread s'hort hairs on basal two-thirds, tip naked. 



Interfemoral. — Central portion 2-3'5 mm. in depth, completely 

 hidden by the fur. 



Far.- — Kather long, silky ; directed backward, but not closely 

 adpressed on back, spreading on nape of neck. Approximate length 

 of hairs at middle of back 21 mm., middle of mantle 23 mm., middle 

 of belly 20 mm. Width of hairy space across middle of back 

 45-47 mm. 



Above, humerus and proximal third of forearm clothed with 

 short, densely set, adpressed hair ; femur and proximal half of 

 tibia long-haired ; on the distal half of the tibia the hairs become 

 gradually shorter and more thinly spread, especially along the 

 median line of the tibia. Feet practically naked, some scattered 

 hairs only detectable on close examination. Interfemoral in middle, 

 and along inner side of femur and proximal three-fourths of tibia, 

 densely covered with long hair. Margin of lateral membrane, 

 between fifth digit and hind limb with thinly spread, rather long 

 hairs. — Below, humerus, proximal part of ibrearra, femur, and 

 })roximal third of tibia furred. Dense woolly fur on antebrachial 

 membrane, and lateral membrane along forearm and between 

 humerus and femur. Distal two- thirds of tibia and lateral inter- 

 femoral practically naked. 



Colour. — 2 sd. skin ; teeth almost unworn ; B.M. 76.3.15.15 : 

 Back, rump, thighs, and furred part of tibia uniform dark vandyck- 

 brown, darkest on back and tibiae, slightly lightened with mars- 

 brown on middle of rump. — Breast, belly, and flunks darker than 

 back, between vandyck-brown and seal-brown, shading to almost 

 pure seal-brown on chest, and washed with mars-brown in anal 

 region ; dark fur everywhere thinly sprinkled with long glossy 

 buify hairs. — Mantle rich oraiige-ochraceous, shading posteriorly 

 through ochraceons-buff into buff or cream-buff in shoulder region, 

 and laterally, on sides of neck, into tawny ; on the foreneck the 

 deep tawny colour of the fur is more or less clouded with, or 

 obliterated by, dark vandyck-brown. Concealed bases of hairs of 

 mantle, sides of neck, and foreneck seal-brown. — Crown and inter- 

 ocular space dark ochraceous, or rather ochraceous darkened with 

 brownish, owing to the pale-coloured tips of the hairs being too 

 short to completely cover the dark hair-bases ; on the occiput the 

 colour gradually shades into the orange-ochraceous of the mantle. 

 Sides of head rich tawny russet, shading gradually into the pale 

 seal-brown of throat and chin. 



Sexual differentiation. — Canines longer and heavier in males. 

 (No neck-tufts in either sex.)
