size aud placed in a semicircular row between the smooth 

 canines. The canines in the upper and lower jaw are followed 

 at a small distance by the little developed first premolars , 

 which are separated from the much stouter second premo-

 the lower jaw is separated by a space nearly as large as 

 the interval between first and second premolar. This is the 

 most developed premolar, not in vertical extent but in 

 circumference. Molars very small, slightly raised above 

 the level of the gum , especially the lower molars. 



Fur short , yellowish brown , darker on the head. Ears 

 and wings blackish brown. Claws black , strongly arched 

 and acutely pointed.
