JReniarkn. — In general appearance Myotis oxygnathus resembles 

 M. miiofis, though the colour perhaps averages somewhat darker. 

 It is readily distinguishable, however, by its smaller skull 

 (distinctl}^ smaller head in spirit specimens), and shorter, narrower 

 ears. In form the skull is like that of 31. vu/otis ; and the 

 teeth are not peculiar except for their small size, a character 

 readily ajjpreciable on comparison of the canines or of the crown 

 area of upper molars. The range of Myotis oxygnathus is, so far 

 as known, strictly Mediterranean, probably coincident with that 

 of M. capaccinci and PipistreUus Imldii. North of the Alps 

 M. jiiyotis occurs alone.
