  This 
  species 
  is 
  readily 
  distinguishable 
  by 
  the 
  enlargement 
  

   of" 
  its 
  canines, 
  a 
  development 
  which 
  reaches 
  its 
  extreme 
  in 
  

   the 
  great 
  sabre-like 
  canines 
  of 
  Phoniscus. 
  Indeed, 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  

   feel 
  sure 
  how 
  far 
  the 
  status 
  of 
  Phoniscus 
  as 
  a 
  distinct 
  genus 
  

   will 
  be 
  affected 
  by 
  the 
  condition 
  found 
  in 
  K. 
  myrella 
  and 
  

   agnella, 
  in 
  each 
  of 
  which 
  something 
  of 
  its 
  character 
  is 
  shown. 
  

  

  I 
  may 
  note 
  here 
  that 
  on 
  Mr. 
  Miller's 
  suggestion 
  1 
  have 
  

   examined 
  the 
  types 
  of 
  Kerivoula 
  papuensis, 
  Dobs., 
  and 
  

   K.Javana, 
  Thos., 
  and 
  find 
  them 
  both 
  to 
  be 
  clearly 
  referable 
  

   to 
  Phoniscus.

  As 
  happens 
  so 
  frequently, 
  the 
  Bismarck 
  Archipelago 
  form 
  

   is 
  quite 
  like 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  iSolomons, 
  while 
  the 
  New 
  Guinea 
  

   one 
  is 
  distinct.
