the oiiter one a mère wart and so concealed by the hair of the 

 lip that is not easily made out; the larger supplementary leaf is 

 onlv about half the latéral extent of the horseshoe, instead of 

 nearly as long, as in H . cajfer and H . beatiis. 



The color is not definable from the alcoholic spécimen, but 

 seems to be a uniform dark smoky brown. 



Skiill shows no striking peculiarities. Contrasted with that of 

 the other two species mentioned, it more resembles that of 

 H. cajfer guineensie in that the width across m^ about equals 

 rather than exceeds the length of the maxillary tooth row; it dif- 

 fers from both in having more terete upper incisors, their outer 

 sloping border without indication of the notch obviously présent 

 in the two other species; />' is in contact with canine and/*, very 

 small but barely external to the médian axis of the tooth row ; 

 upper canine with a minute posterior basai cusp ; lower canine very 

 slender, nearly equalled in height by p^] sagittal crest weaklv 

 developed, extending to the back of the parietals ; nasal inflation 

 prominent. 



Measurements. — Length (circa) 67 mm., tail from anus 17, 

 tibia 20, with the foot 27, ear from meatus 17,5, width of ear 15, 

 calcar 10.5, forearm 47, third metacarpal 32,5, with proximal 

 phalanx 48, fourth metacarpal 35, with proximal phalanx 45,5, 

 fifth metacarpal 33, with proximal phalanx 45, greatest width of 

 horseshoe 6,5, of posterior crescent 7,5. 



Skull : total length 17,5 mm., zygomatic breadth 9, width 

 ontside ;«", 5,8, upper maxillary teeth 5,7, lower tooth row i^ 

 to ;«,, 6,8. 



Remarks. — • Externally this small species is at once distin- 

 guishable from H. beatus and A. cajfer guineensis, of similar size 

 and inhabiting the same région, by its very short tail which barely 

 exceeds the extended fémur, by its much larger ears, by the short 

 calcar combined with the long slender leg, and by the shorter 

 fingers in comparison with the forearm. The noseleaf is very 

 différent, with its broad horseshoe, emarginate anteriorly, reduced
