134 MACROGLOSSUS, SYCONYCTERIS 



than anterior one; lower incisors in a triangle set in pairs, 

 outer ones somewhat stouter than inner ones; first lower 

 premolar close to canine, somewhat smaller than the second, 

 which is implanted closer to the third than to the first 

 one, first lower molar similar to a small premolar some- 

 what wider apart from the true molars than the latter are 

 set the one from the other. Bony palate as strongly exten- 

 ded posteriorly as in the Java-species. Palate-ridges seven 

 in number, the six anterior ones equidistant, arched; the 

 seventh at much greater distance presents anteriorly an 

 undulated aspect. The wing-membrane from the base of 

 the fourth toe. The above described specimens belong most 

 likely to Macroglossus lagochilus Matschie.

Rhinarium, nostrils, grooves, teeth and palate-ridges a. s, o. 

 do not practically differ from the descriptions of the same 

 parts of the Sumatra-species given above ; the only dif- 

 ference perhaps being that between the sixth and seventh 

 palate-ridge there are two rather strongly pronounced cush- 

 ions placed close to the sixth palate-ridge; this however 

 may be merely individual — I have only a single specimen 

 at my disposal. The wing-membrane is attached to the base 

 of the fourth toe. So that I believe the Borneo-specimen 

 belonging to the same species as our Sumatra-individuals, 

 that is to Macroglossus lagochilus Matschie.
