surfaces, and the glandular dots of the ears are similarly provided on 

 their hinder surfaces. The free portion of the interfemoral mem- 

 hrane, between the os culcis and tail, is also fringed with fine short 

 hairs. 



The fur is long, very fine and woolly ; that of the upper parts of 

 the body is grey at the base, which is 'succeeded by pale brown, and 

 tipped with a shghtly darker tuit of the same colour. These shades 

 are not sufficiently distinct to give a tricoloured appearance to the 

 fur, the general appearance of which is buffy-brown. This is the 

 colour of the type-specimen, which has probably faded considerably. 

 That of the specimen in spirit appears (as far as can be seen in 

 spirit) to be of a reddish cinnamon-brown colour. 



The membranes and ears are of a pale reddish-brown colour, and 

 translucent. "I could," says Mr. Waterhouse, " read this writing 

 through the wing-membranes, moistened as they were with the spirit, 

 at a distance of more than a quarter of an inch." 



The dentition, according to Mr. Waterhouse, is— In. ==2 ; Can. 



1—1 



The molars have not been examined. 



The two inner upper incisors are, as in K.picta aud K.papillosa, 

 in advance of the others, long, curved, aud pointed ; whilst the outer 

 two are placed considerably behind them, and are smaller. 



Those of the lower jaw are trilobed and small. 



The following dimensions have been taken (1) from the original 

 specimen of V. Hardwickii, and (2) from the type specimen of V. 

 pellucidus. Those of the second column will appear at first sight 

 to diff'er a good deal from those of the first, but probably the latter 

 may be considerably altered from its real size by the state of pre- 

 servation. Such parts as could not be altered by this means, as 

 the bones of the wings, do not differ materially, as may at once be 

 seen by reference to the Table.
