The upper lip at the fulcs hangs over the under jaw, and at each 

 fide is deeply wrinkled with fcven or eight vertical folds. The ears 

 are large, blunt, wrinkled, and fomewhat pendulous. From being 

 bent in fcveral folds, they at firft fight appear to be thick and 

 flefli)'. They approach very near at their infertion on the brow, 

 and are na"ked, except on a lliarp finu-s towards the hinder part of 

 the head. On their edge near the tips are five or fix fmall warts. 

 There are no internal auricles. The eyes are in two fmall flils 

 -above the angles of the mouth, and are almoft covered by the ears. 

 Theie arc two flrong t'fks in each jaw. In the upper jaw there 

 are two conical (h-j.\\^ fore-teeth, half as long as the tulks. Below, 

 in place of thefe, there are only two fmall points, fcarcely project- 

 ing from the gnms. The grinders are a little removed from the 

 tulks, and are in each fide of each jaw five or fix in number. In 

 tlie lower jaw each grinder has two iharp points ; in the upper 

 jaw each, except the firft pair, has three points. 



The neck is very lliort, and fo covered with ha'r as to be fcarcely 

 obfervable. Tht foulders are high, and round, with a deep cavity 

 between them. The body, at the (houlders, is much wider than at' 

 the haunches. The buttocks are bare. 



The tail is naked, round, and blunt : it is turned up at the end. 

 A itrong hooked cla-vo in place of the thumb. No carpus nor 

 metacarpus. Four long fingers ferve to diftend the membrane of 

 the wing. The hind feet have five diflin(Sl toes, with fmall (harp 

 claws. The membrane of the -wings joins the hinder legs and tail, 

 but it is not nearly fo long as the latter. A broad hairy lijl fur- 

 rounds all round the body, and covers the bottom of the mem- 

 brane.
