the former projecting considerably backward and inward, and 

 line of hinder margin of ledge oblique on longitudinal axis of 

 tooth ; antero-internal basal projection smaller than in p'. m' very 

 nearly twice as long as broad ; posterior ledge well developed, but 

 indistinctly differentiiited from tooth, though generally a small 

 postero-external notch between ledge and outer main cusp is present, 

 m'' normal, larger than m.^, smaller than p,. 



i, normal. i., larger than usual, though not quite as much 

 enlarged as in Fl. samoensis, three to four and a lialf times the 

 bulk of ij. Lower canines short, very stout, recurved, cingulum 

 forming a broad ledge at inner and posterior base of tooth. ])^ as 

 in Pi. samoensis, \inu?,\inlly large, twice to twice and a half the bulk 

 of i^. Posterior basal ledge of j)^, p^, m^, and m, very large, 

 sharply cut off postero-exteruiiUy by a notch from outer main cusp 

 (the notch always well marked in p^ and p^, less so and sometimes 

 only indicated in m^ and m,J; in p^, m,. and m., the ledge e\tends 

 forward, as a broad sharply defined shelf, on lingual face of tooth, 

 gradually decreasing in width anteriorly, but generally traceable to 

 front end of tooth ; this lingual continuation of the ledge is some- 

 times indicated also in p.^. Antero-internal basal portion of p^ and 

 Pj forming a small projecting heel, generally with minute rounded 

 tubercle, m^ normal, equal to or slighth^ smaller than i^. 



Palcite-ridges. — 5 + 5 + 3. Arrangement quit e as in Ft. nmudiensis 

 (above p. 2S\). 



Ears (dried skins). — As in Ft. vawaiensis and samoetisis. 

 Wings. — About 2.1 mm. apart at origin from .sides of back. 

 Inti-r femoral. — Undeveloped in centre. 



Fur. — Long, soft, silky ; spreading on back and rump ; unusually 

 long huirs thinly spread ever\ where among the ordinary fur of the 

 upper and under side. Approximate length of hairs at mJddle of 

 back 31 (longest hairs) and 17 mm. (shortest), at middle of mantle 

 31 and 20, at middle of belly 25 and 17. Lenst width of furred 

 area of back about 70 mm. 



Above, humerus and proximal half or two-thirds of forearm clothed 

 with long dense adpressed hairs. Fur of back extending on lateral 

 membrane almost to a line between elbow and knee. Tibia densely 

 covered above with long hairs to ankle ; a very narrow line of short 

 hairs traceable to base of first phalanx of second or third toe. — 

 Beneath, basal half of forearm thinly haired. Underside of ante- 

 brachial membrane, of lateral membrane along outer .-ide of forearm 

 to carpal joint, and between humerus and femur, covered with 

 densely set woolly hairs. Underside of tibia hairy for proximal 

 third or half. 



Colour. — cJ ad. skin, teeth slightly worn ; 7.1.1.256. — Back and 

 rump vandyck-brown, strongly lightened by buffy tips to the hairs. 

 Individual hairs seal-brown at base, shading gradually to dark 

 vandyck-brown in ndddle portion ; tips golden buffy or ochraceous- 

 bufty, in many hairs tinged with tawny. Pale hair-tips on back 

 in most places rather too short, on rump sufReiontly long, to
