Crown of head considerably raised ; muzzle narrow, pointed, 

 hairy ; nostrils projecting slightly, and opening sublaterally with a 

 hollow between them. Ears extending, when laid forward, to the 

 end of the muzzle, narrow, tapering, the tips narrowly rounded 

 off ; upper half of the outer margin concave, lower half convex, 

 inner convex throughout. Tragus long, slender, tapering towards 

 the tip, which is rounded off ; the outer margin has two small 

 projecting lobes near the base. 



Wings from the ankles. Feet very large, the toes forming 

 more than half the length of the foot ; the first and fifth toes 

 shorter than the others. Face very hairy, and the upper lip 

 clothed with long straight hairs. 



The first and second upper premolars are both small, the second 

 but slightly more internal in position than the first. 



Colour of fur above black, below the same with whitish tips. 



Dimensions. Head and body 1-75 inches, tail 1'45, forearm T45, 

 foot 0-4. 



Distribution. The types were obtained at the caves of Bhima 

 Devi, Kashmir, elevation 6000 feet. 



It is probable that Myotis theobaldi, obtained from caves near 

 Matur Nag, N. of Islamabad, Kashmir, was the same as V. longipes, 

 for the two agree in dimensions and both are characterized by 

 large feet ; but it is impossible to identify Myotis theobaldi, for the 

 types have been lost, and it was said to be extremely close to 

 the pipistrelle, from which V. longipes differs considerably in 

 structure.
