  General 
  external 
  characters 
  as 
  in 
  K.

  which 
  

   a 
  specimen 
  from 
  Duke 
  of 
  York 
  Ishmd 
  (New 
  Lauenburp;^ 
  was 
  

   referred 
  by 
  Dobson 
  in 
  1878. 
  Size 
  rather 
  greater. 
  U|)per- 
  

   side 
  o£ 
  feet, 
  tibias, 
  and 
  femora 
  distinctly 
  more 
  heavily 
  haired, 
  

   the 
  interfemoral 
  also 
  rather 
  more 
  hairy 
  and 
  with 
  some 
  hairs 
  

   along- 
  its 
  posterior 
  margin. 
  

  

  Skull 
  with 
  the 
  brain-case 
  more 
  inflated 
  anteriorly, 
  as 
  in 
  

   Phoniscus, 
  but 
  the 
  muzzle 
  of 
  the 
  specialized 
  bent-up 
  form 
  

   characteristic 
  of 
  Kerivoida, 
  that 
  of 
  Phoniscus 
  being 
  more 
  

   normal. 
  Front 
  of 
  muzzle, 
  however, 
  broadened 
  to 
  carry 
  the 
  

   much 
  enlarged 
  canines, 
  the 
  narrowest 
  breadth 
  of 
  the 
  rostrum 
  

   being 
  across 
  the 
  middle 
  premolars 
  instead 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  

   ones. 
  

  

  Teeth. 
  — 
  Inner 
  upper 
  incisors 
  slender, 
  unicuspid, 
  outer 
  ones 
  

   about 
  half 
  their 
  height. 
  Canines 
  very 
  large 
  and 
  tliick, 
  of 
  

   about 
  normal 
  section, 
  though 
  a 
  young 
  specimen 
  shows 
  some- 
  

   thing 
  of 
  the 
  peculiar 
  shape 
  found 
  in 
  Plwniscus 
  ; 
  projecting 
  

   laterally 
  outwards 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  be 
  conspicuously 
  visible 
  from 
  

   above 
  and 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  markedly 
  greater 
  lateral 
  expansion 
  than 
  

   the 
  premolars 
  next 
  behind 
  them, 
  these 
  again 
  exceeding 
  the 
  

   median 
  pair, 
  the 
  narrowest 
  part 
  across 
  the 
  maxillary 
  tooth- 
  

   row 
  being 
  outside 
  the 
  latter 
  teeth. 
  In 
  K. 
  hardwlckei 
  the 
  

   tooth-row 
  narrows 
  forwards, 
  and 
  the 
  narrowest 
  part 
  is 
  across 
  

   the 
  anterior 
  premolars. 
  Premolars 
  of 
  normal 
  shape, 
  broader 
  

   transversely 
  than 
  antero-posteriorly. 
  In 
  K. 
  agnella 
  the 
  

   canines 
  are 
  somewhat, 
  though 
  not 
  so 
  much, 
  enlarged, 
  but 
  the 
  

   premolars 
  are 
  much 
  narrower 
  transversely. 
  Lower 
  premolars 
  

   ratlier 
  bulkier 
  than 
  in 
  hardwickei.
