206 . Miss F. M. Scott on a Species of 



rounded ; outer edge angularly concave above, convex below. 

 Tragus pointed, its inner and outer edges both slightly con- 

 vex, a rounded lobe at its outer base. Wings from the base 

 of the toes. No post-calcareal lobule. Tip of tail projecting. 

 General colour dull diab, the bases of the hairs everywhere 

 slaty, the tips above drab, below whitish. Membranes 

 brown, with whitish edges, the light-coloured reticulations 

 conspicuous. 



Skull and teeth as described above. 



Dimensions of the type (measured on the spirit-specimen) : — 



Forearm 32 '5 mm. 



Head and body 40 mm. ; tail 40 ; ear 12 ; tragus on inner 

 edge 5 ; third linger, metacarpal 31'5, tirst phahinx 10*7, 

 second phalanx 9"7; lower leg and foot (c. u.) 18"2. 



Skull : greatest length lo-2 ; basi-sinual length 10"1 ; 

 breadth of brain-case Q'6 ; front of canine to back of m^ 4*6. 



Ilab. Mossamedes. 



Ti/pe. Adult female. B.M. no. 6. 1. 3. 3. Presented by 

 the Lisbon Museum. 



This interesting little bat, which I have named in honour 

 of Senhor A. F. de Seabra, C.M.Z.S., of the Lisbon Museum, 

 is distinguishable from Myotis by the presence of glauds in 

 its wings, by the reduced proportions of its anterior premolars, 

 and the large antero-internal cusp on p'^. Its general appear- 

 ance is rather that of a P ipistrellus than a Mtjotis. 



XXIII. — On a Species o/" Nymph on /ro??z the North Pacific. 

 By Flora M. Scott, M.A., University College, Dundee. 



[Plate VII.] 



The genus Nymphon, and indeed all the Nymphonidfe, are 

 of rare occurrence in the Pacific. The total number of 

 Pycnogonida recorded there is not yet very large, and the 

 Nymphons included are relatively very few. From the 

 Suath Pacific two deep-water forms were brought home by 

 the ' Challenger,' viz. JSymphon loufficollurn, Hoek, and 

 Nymphon ^)?-ocerM7??, Hoek. Ortmann describes one well- 

 defined species, Nymphon Japonicum, from Japan ; and from 

 the China Sea a more doubtful one, Nymphon longiceps, has 

 been described by Grube. Two are recorded from Australia — 

 N. longico.va, Hoek, and N. ceguidigitatum, Haswell. If we 

 then exclude those found from the Straits of Magellan south-
