  This 
  species 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  ally 
  of 
  K. 
  hardwichei, 
  and 
  has 
  

   nothing 
  of 
  the 
  peculiar 
  increase 
  in 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  canines 
  charac- 
  

   teristic 
  of 
  K. 
  myrella. 
  

  

  Emballonura 
  stresemanm, 
  sp. 
  n. 
  

  

  Most 
  nearly 
  allied 
  to 
  E. 
  raffrayana, 
  Dobs., 
  but 
  the 
  skull 
  

   larger 
  and 
  the 
  ears 
  thinner, 
  narrower, 
  and 
  more 
  pointed. 
  

  

  General 
  characters 
  as 
  in 
  raffrayana, 
  the 
  tragus 
  similarly 
  

   truncated 
  and 
  nearly 
  parallel-sided. 
  Nostrils 
  circular, 
  far 
  

   apart, 
  the 
  notch 
  between 
  them 
  unusually 
  deep, 
  so 
  that 
  tiiey 
  

   are 
  more 
  distinctly 
  tubular 
  than 
  in 
  other 
  species. 
  Ears 
  

   slender, 
  narrow, 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  very 
  slightly 
  convex, 
  the 
  

   tip 
  narrowly 
  rounded, 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  straight 
  or 
  faintly 
  

   concave 
  above, 
  then 
  convex, 
  with 
  a 
  well-detined 
  basal 
  lobe, 
  

   separated 
  by 
  a 
  distinct 
  notch. 
  

  

  Skull 
  very 
  similar 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  E. 
  raffrayana, 
  but 
  larger 
  

   throughout. 
  Muzzle 
  broad, 
  not 
  specially 
  inflated 
  laterally 
  ; 
  

   frontal 
  region 
  with 
  a 
  broad 
  median 
  groove 
  running 
  back 
  to 
  

   the 
  level 
  of 
  the 
  intertemporal 
  constriction. 
  Basisphenoid 
  

   concavity 
  divided 
  into 
  two 
  by 
  a 
  single 
  median 
  ridge, 
  but 
  not 
  

   into 
  four 
  by 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  two 
  supplementary 
  lateral 
  ridges, 
  

   as 
  is 
  the 
  case 
  in 
  the 
  single 
  skull 
  of 
  E, 
  raffrayana.

  Five 
  specimens, 
  all 
  

   females. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  is 
  distinguished 
  from 
  E. 
  raffrayana^ 
  to 
  which 
  

   alone 
  it 
  is 
  related, 
  by 
  its 
  comparatively 
  long 
  and 
  narrow 
  ears 
  

   and 
  its 
  larger 
  skull. 
  

  

  I 
  may 
  note, 
  on 
  the 
  authority 
  of 
  Prof. 
  Trouessart, 
  that 
  the 
  

   locality 
  given 
  by 
  Dobson 
  for 
  E. 
  raffrayana, 
  Gilolo, 
  is 
  an 
  

   error, 
  and 
  that 
  its 
  true 
  locality 
  is 
  Mefor 
  Lsland, 
  Geelvink 
  

   Bay, 
  Western 
  New 
  Guinea. 
  One 
  of 
  the 
  typical 
  specimens 
  

   is 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum.
