 Kinnlade Scbneideziibne, in der untern keiue " ; tbe post-Linnean 

 compilers usually divided tbe genus Vespertilio into a aeries of 

 sections according to tbe nunjber of incisors ; thus, one section 

 (tbe fiftb of Er.xleben, the si.xtb of Scbreber, Gmelin, and Kerr), 

 with tbe single species V. ceplialotes, was cliaracterized by having 

 two incisors above, none below ; and tiiis section it was for which 

 Borlihausen proposed tbe geuf^ric name Nyctiviene) ; E.-A.,
