The single .specimen known i.s immature (t'ronto-parietal suture 

 present), but probably very nearly full-grown. Skull not differing 

 in any respect from that of E. spelixa. Dentition exactly as in 

 spelrpu, except for loss of the small m^ (on the occasional absence 

 of this tooth on one side in spehvu see footnote, p. 730), even the 

 pro])ortionate size of the individual teeth being practically the 

 same: p' subequal to (faintly larger than) i^ m' a trifle longer 

 autero-posteriorly than p' (not shorter, as represented in the pub- 

 lished figure, Jeiitink, I.e.). Palate-ridges unmodified. The figure 

 of the tongue (I.e.) shows no filiform papillae; in reality these 

 are present and occupy the same position as in spelcpu, viz. the tip 

 of the tongue and its lateral margins backward to a point approxi- 

 mately at a level with the front of the median area of tridentato 

 papillae, reoccurring on the lateral margin? of the extreme jjosterior 

 portion of the tongue; as compared with the tongue stiucturo of 

 speloea the only tangible difference is the slightly smaller size of all 

 papillae (filiform, as well as tridentate, &c.). External characters 

 (even including size of animal) as in E. speltpa ; membranes inserted 

 on tibial (preaxial) side of distal half of second metatarsal (for 

 insertion in spehra seep. 735) ; anal opening in the middle between 

 the anal glands (as is also the case in many specimens of E. spelcea, 

 while in others the glands are situated slightly behind the anus). 

 Colour of fur unsuitable for description (somewhat deteriorated in 

 alcohol). On the proposed genus CdU'iDiicteris for this species see 

 antea p. 733.
