On new Asiatic and Australasian Bats. 439 



breadth of brain-case 7*7 ; palato-sinual length 6*6 ; maxillary 

 tooth-row 6"1 J outer breadth across canines 3"9. 



Nab. Admiralty Islands and Bismarck Archipelago. Type 

 from Manus Island. 



Ti/pe. Adult (])robably male). B.M. no. 14. 4. 1. 10. 

 Original number 13. Collected 8th September, 1913. 



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 iiere that on Mr. Miller's suggestion 1 have 

 examined the types of Kerivoula papuensis, Dobs., and 

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

 to Phoniscus. 



12. Emhallonura solomonis, Thos. 



Three from Manus and three from Ruk Island. 



As happens so frequently, the Bismarck Archipelago form 

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

 one is distinct. The latter is described in the next paper.
