The two first species of Cynopterus above enumerated, although re- 

 sembling each other in many particulars, are clearly distinguished by 

 the following points. In the C. titth&cheilus, the nose, or rostrum, is 

 comparatively short, thick, and abruptly terminated ; the nares are very 

 tumid ; on the medial portion of the upper lip, opposite the incisors, 

 are two very prominent warts divided by a groove, whence the name 

 mammilevre ; and the general colour inclines to reddish brown. In the 

 C. marginatus, the rostrum is more lengthened, the nostrils are less 

 prominent, and the medial warts scarcely perceptible ; the eyes are 

 farther removed from the nares. The general colour is more dusky, 

 inclining to blackish brown. In both species the ears are surrounded 

 with a white margin. Their geographical distribution is also different.
