Differential characters. — Similar to C. h. brachifsoma in the 

 relative length of the cranial rostrum and the size of tlie ears, 

 but rostrum deeper and broader, skull heavier (compare measure- 

 ments across crowns of m'-m\ p. 625), and external dimensions 

 averaging larger. 



The short and narrow ears distinguish tliis form from all other 

 races of C. bracJn/oti^, except hracJiijsoma (Andamans) and miautus 

 (Nias). From the latter it is easily discriminated by its relatively 

 longer rostrum (subequal to, not distinctly less than, one-fourth of 

 skull) and larger size. 



C'oZ«((/'( adult skin, probably feniMle, topotype, January. S-l.S.l .106). 

 — General colour very similar to that of adult females of C. h. angii- 

 latus, decidedly darker than average specimens of C. h. brachyotis. 

 Eack brownish bistre (i. e. bistre somewhat washed with a warmer 

 tinge of brown approaching Trout's or vandyck brown); head dark 

 bistre ; breast and belly olive hair-brown ; sides of neck and fore- 

 neck raw-umber. Metacarpals and phalanges whitish brown; ears 

 narrowly margined with M'hite.
