Both specimens — an adult female and a very young 

 male — are in such a deplorable condition that all hairs 

 of head and body are gone. I describe the adult female: 

 rhinarium small, devided in the middle by a groove be- 

 tween the feebly pronounced nostrils, which passes down 

 to the border of the upperlip, on both sides a nearly im- 

 perceptible indication of a groove on the border of the 

 upperlip ; lowerlip very feebly grooved, not on its border 

 as I should say. Ear with a slightly rounded off very 

 minute lobule on the base of its outer margin. Dentition 

 as weakly developed as in the Java-species, the teeth ar- 

 ranged like in that species. The five first palate-ridges in 

 parallel curved rows, the anterior one more distant from 

 the second, the other four equidistant, the sixth slightly 

 indicated by two sideward cushions, the seventh is trian- 

 gular in shape. Wing-membrane from the base of the 

 fourth toe. The specimens apparently belong to Matschie's 

 Macroglossus nanus.
