8. Jneropiis scapulatus Peters 1862. 



Pteropus scapulatus Petees, in: Monatsber. Acad. Wiss. Berlin, 1862, 

 p. 574 (1862). 



A— C. Mackay, July 1882 (skeletons). 



The 3 specimens arrived in a half dry condition, and could still 

 be determined from external characters. 



Length of cubitus: — A. 177 mm, B. 123 mm, C. 131mm.' 



The skull. Length of skull: — A. 53 mm, B. 55 mm, C. 56 mm. 

 Breadth across zygomatic arches — A. 31 mm, B. 32 mm, C. 32,5 mm. 



As in the preceding species, the crown is quite smooth. 



The orbital crests which are alraost imperceptible, disappear en- 

 tirely at the sutura coronalis. The occipital crests are also slight. 

 The orbital process on the os zygomaticum is long and pointed, and 

 almost completely joins the postorbital process on the os frontale. 



The dentition in the two first specimens is normal and com- 

 plete: — » |, c i, i? |, w | (34). 



C has the following abnormal dentition: — * |, c i,i> i, >w f (34). 



The last specimen wants p^ in the upper jaw, but is recompensed 

 with a supernumerary premolar between ;p^ and ^2, in construction 

 and size exactly resembling p^. 



The canines in PL scapulatus are strong and long, while the pre- 

 molars and especially the molars are rather feeble \ m'^ is very small, 

 of about the same size as i ^ ; w ^ is situated almost exactly in the 

 same line, as ^ *. 



In the lower jaw both the central incisors are separated by a 

 Space; P is barely half so large as i^. 



The length of the dental series is: 



A. Upper jaw 22,5 mm, lower jaw 22 mm, 



B. „ „ 22,5 mm, „ „ 22,5 mm, 



C. „ „ 24 mm, „ „ 23 mm.
