Megaderma frons Geoffroy St.Hilaire. 
The color of the fur in the dry skin is plumibeous, washed with dull 
yellow. The latter color is especially strong on the breast, head, and 
ears, giving the fur a soiled appearance. The minor division of the 
tragus is not shaped as represented in Dr. Dobson’s monograph of the 
Chiroptera,* but is broadest opposite the point of its attachment to the 
major division, and has an irregularly but conspicuously serrated an- 
terior margin. This form of the tragus is represented Geoffroy St. 
Hilaire’s figure of the species.| A specimen from Sierra Leone, pre- 
sented to the Museum by Dr. Dobson, has the linear form of minor 
division without conspicuous serrations. The differences in this par- 
ticular may be due to age.

band, all the under surfaces, the legs, and the tail are pure white.
