 about three-fourths the height of the inner one, and the

 muzzle when viewed from above. Lower incisors trifid ; 

 overlapping.

Forearm 38 mm. 



Head and body 44 ; tail 48 ; ear 13*5 ; tragus on inner

Hah. St. Aignan Island, S.E. of New Guinea. 



Type. Adult female in spirit. B.M. no. 98. 4. 1. 2. Col- 

 lected by A. Meek. 



The examination of a number of the true K. hardwickei 

 from Java recently presented to the National Museum by 

 Mr. W. E. Balston has convinced me that this specimen 

 should be separated specifically from that animal. 



The specimen from Duke of York Island referred somewhat 

 doubtfully to K. hardwickei by Dobson t also appears to belong 

 to K. agnella, but has rather shorter outer incisors.
