Dinrjnosis. — Similar to E. gaynbUmus, with four interdental and 

 two postdental palate-ridges, but arrangement oi fourth, fifih, and 

 sixth ridges different (lig. 37 B, p. 516). Skull, total length 58-5- 

 ()l-.5 (males), mandihle ■47'8-50-5 (males), c-m' 20-5-22-2 (male.s) 

 and 17'5 (female), forearm 87"5-91 (males) and about 82-5 mm. 

 (female). Hah. Benguela and Damaraland. 



Description. — Fourth palate-ridge situated much nearer the third 

 than the iifth ridge, the interspace between third and fourth about 

 half that between fourth and fifth ; fourth ridge therefore at level 

 of middle (or posterior half) of p^)', entirely in front of a line 

 connecting anterior edges of m'-m', whereas in E. gambianus and 

 allied forms the ridge is situated midway between third and fifth, 

 entirely between fronts of m'-m'. Fifth ridge so closely behind 

 looth-rows as to be touched, or even slightly cut, by a line connecting 

 hinder edges of m'-m' ; in gambianus always some distance behind 

 tooth-rows. Sixth ridge at or a little in front of (in gambianus 

 rather behind) middle of postdental palate. — Other characters 

 essentially as in gambianus. Skull perhaps averaging slightly
