354 EMBALLONITBIDJE. 



From inside the inner margin a thick prominent basal lobe runs 

 directly across the inside of the conch and covers the eye. Tragus 

 small, subquadrate, convex above. 



Thumb short with a small claw. Wings from just above the ankles. 

 Calcaneum elongate, extending nearly three quarters of the dis- 

 tance from ankle to tail. Only about half the tail extends beyond 

 the end of the membrane. 



Lower incisors 6, the median pair smaller and shorter than the 

 others. Upper incisors nearer to each other than to the canine on 

 each side. The first upper premolar very small. 



The face and ears nearly naked ; proximal portions of upper 

 arms and thighs and the wing-membrane close to the body hairy. 

 The interfemoral membrane only hairy near the base of the tail. 

 Some long hairs on the toes. 



Colour of fur greyish to blackish brown, nearly the same above 

 and below ; basal portion of hairs paler. 



Dimensions. Head and body 2-9 inches, tail 1'75, forearm 2, 

 tibia 0-6, ear from crown of head 0'6. 



Distribution. Specimens have been obtained from Eajanpur 

 (S.W. Punjab), Nasirabad (Uajputana), Malabar, Jashpur (Chutia 

 Nagpur), and Calcutta ; so this form, although not common, has 

 evidently a wide range in the Peninsula of India.

Ears distinctly joined by a band connecting their inner margins 

 on the muzzle about halfway between the eyes and the end of the 

 nose. They are large, though barely extending to the nostrils 

 when laid forward, subtrapezoidal, upper margin not regularly
