separated; p^ in the centre of tlie interspace between these 

 two teeth, not deciduous ; last premolar and molars above 

 and below very narrow : nii at least twice as long as broad ; 

 m^ small, less than half the size of m^ ; 2^2 ^^ cross section 

 three or four times the size of a lower incisor; m^ about half 

 the length of ???i; 7^3 subcircular in outline. 



Palate ridges. — 4 + 3+1. 



External structure. — Ears essentially as in R. amphxi- 

 caudatus : narrow, not attenuated below the tip, the tip itself 

 broadly rounded oflf ; antitragal lobe small, rounded. General 

 size of the animal as in R. hrachyotis (thus smaller than 

 R. ample X I'cau datus) , but digits proportionally considerably 

 longer than in any other eastern species of the genus 

 (index of pollex 392, of third digit 1646, against 335-41 

 (pollex) and 1529-41 (third digit) in all other eastern 

 species). Tail long, probably about 20 mm. (only dried 

 skins examined). 



Fur. — Longer, richer, and more velvet than in R. amplexi- 

 caudatus and allied eastern species ; notopatagium clothed 

 ■with dense fur; hairing on forearms, tibia3, interfemoral, and 

 underside of plagiopatagiura longer and richer ; face more 

 densely haired. 



Colour. — Brighter than in R. amplexicaudatus. Back 

 light Front's brown, rump more inclining to mars-brown 

 tinged with russet ; sides of back and tibife next to membranes 

 almost vandyke-brown ; crown and occiput dark brown, 

 approaching bister; nape of neck broccoli-brown; a tuft of 

 glandular mummy-brown hairs on either side of the neck in 

 both sexes ; entire underside of body dark greyish drab. — 

 Immature individuals are similar in colour to adults, but 

 without the mummy-brown neck-tuft. 



Range. — Celebes. 



Type. — ? ad., skin and skull. Mt. Masarang, Celebes, 

 3500'; Oct. 1895. Collected by Dr. Chas. Hose. Brit. Mus. 

 no. 97. 1. 2. 8. Three specimens examined. 



Remarks. — On hasty inspection this species, owing to its 

 small size, can easily be (and has in fact repeatedly been) 

 confused with R. hrachyotis. The larger skull, very narrow 

 palate, narrow molars, not deciduous 7/, much longer pollex 

 (28-30 mm., against 24-26 in hrachyotis), longer wings 

 (chiefly owing to the longer metacarpals), much longer fur, 

 haired notopatagium, and much more densely haired tibiae 

 readily distinguish it from R. hrachyotis.
