158 M.S diteclaw on the new Bat 
vinced myself that Kolenati was quite right in introducing the 
Bat of the high valley as a new species into our fauna. 
The specimen brought to me by M. Theisler was a male 
and had a length of 94 millims., of which the body oceupie 
54 and the tail 40 millims. ‘The expanse of wing ee not 
determine, because the specimen had already lain for a con- 
siderable time in spirits, and, owing to the stiffening of the 
muscles, the wings could not be sufficiently pulled out. The 
other measurements were as follows :—

As regards the formation of the ears, the most remarkable 
point is the entire absence of transverse folds. ‘The outer 
margin of the ear, which is not notched at any part, terminates 
in Front of the tragus, on the same level as the cleft of the 
mouth, and at a distance of 3 millims. from the angle of the 
latter. The ear is obtusely rounded above, and pretty strongly 
hairy on the inner surface. ‘The inner margin of the tra 
runs at first straight, but curves outwards and upwards in its 
upper third; Kolenati’s description, “ konvex bogig und nach 
aufwirts gebogen,” is therefore perfectly correct. Nevertheless 
I must not conceal that in my specimen the tragus of the /eft 
ear does not agree so accurately with this statement as that of 
the right one, to which it accurately applies. ‘The upper ex- 
tremity (the apex) is rounded off in both tragi more than is 
the case in Kolenati’s figure (p. 252). The tragus attains its 
greatest breadth about in the middle of the outer margin, and 
possesses an obtuse tooth at the base of the same margin. 
When pressed down, the ears not only reach the apex of the 
snout, but extend with their obtuse ends more than 5 millims. 
beyond the latter. The region between the eye and the nos- 
tril is strongly tumid, sparingly clothed with hair, and of a 
black colour; the muzzle appears rather obtuse. The whiskers 
on the muzzle of my specimen are much shorter than they 
should be according to Kolenati’s figure and description.
