Size.—Head and body, 1°7 inch; ears, 1°55 (ears of English type 
of same size, 1°4 inch); tail, 1°7 inch. Jerdon gives larger results, 
but I put more reliance on Dobson’s figures.

presence of four incisors in the upper jaw, whereas Scofophilus has two 
only-—otherwise the two genera are very similar.
