formulae are the šame, viz. incisora, — ; camnes, y— j ; molars, j^ ; 



the first falše molar of the upper jaw is small and almost hidden by 

 the gum ; the second distinct ; both first and second falše molars of 

 lower jaw are distinct ; the latter is most elevated, but the foremost 

 is the largest. The palate has numerous vvell-developed transverse 

 ridges, seven in number, if we commence from between the canines, 

 in front of which are two others less distinct ; the third, -vvhich is 

 between the falše molars, is most developed. The tongue is thick, 

 but pointed at the apex, and presents a triangular transverse section, 

 extending in its ordinary position to the incisor teeth, -vvhich on the 

 inner side are covered by the gum up to their points. 



Besides these, and the Philippine Island Bats noticed or described 

 in the Proceedings for May 1S43, I have to add, as also forming 

 part of Mr. Cuming's coUection, a species of Nycticejus which agrees 

 most closely with the N. Borbonicus ; this and the Taphozous Phi- 

 lippinensis appear to be extremely abundant in the Philippine Islands ; 

 and lastly, a species of Dysopes, which I feel very little doubt is the 

 D. tenuis of Horsfield ; it agrees most closely with the detailed de- 

 scription and figure given by Temminck.
