NV. angolensis. 'Tragus rising from rounded eminence, quad- 
rate, rather small. 
Forearm 88 millim.

very close together. Premolar small, rather crowded on to 
the outer side of the tooth-row. Lower incisors 4, the two 
inner ones bilobed, the outer pair simple and small. 
Dried skin, 77 a, South Africa (Dobs. Cat.), is possibly
