usually considered a synonym, and I shall therefore continue to 
regard it so.

Type, adult female, alcoholic with dry skull, no. 11,672, Museum of 
Comparative Zoélogy, from La Cueva de la Majana, Baracoa, Cuba; 
collected June 15, 1915, by Senor Victor Jose Rodriguez y Verrier and 
presented by Professor Carlos de la Torre y Huerta. 
General Characters.— Slightly smaller than C. macleayii, with forearm 
36-38 mm., against 41-48 mm. in the latter; the fleshy papilla at each side 
of the muzzle lower and less prominent; the dorsal rim of each nostril 
surmounted by a transverse row of from four to six small roundish warts 
(Plate I, fig. 1); a low transverse cutaneous ridge on the muzzle behind 
the nose pad; a group of two or three minute tooth-like papillae at a point 
about half-way on the inner margin of the ear, more attenuated than in 
macleayit. Skull smaller than in macleayii, the muzzle less inflated. 
Description.— The color does not appear to be different from that of 
macleayii. Size, however, smaller throughout; ear proportionally a trifle 
narrower; the minute papillae half-way on its inner margin distinctly more 
prominent and filiform. The structure of the chin lappets is practically 
the same in both species, but the protuberances of the muzzle differ notably. 
In macleayzi the two lateral papillae are more prominent, and on the upper 
rim of each nostril is a squarish lobe separated by a well-marked notch 
from its fellow on the other nostril. In torre the upper edge of the nostrils 
is not produced into a lobe, but each is rimmed by a transverse line of from 
four to six low rounded warts, with a median depression barely indicated. 
A low cutaneous ridge is present on the muzzle behind the nose pad, but 
is practically absent in macleayii. The caleaneum, as in macleayii, is long 
and slender; it terminates in a minute lobe at the point of greatest length 
of the interfemoral membrane, In the type this lobe is exceptionally
