116 MR. G. E. DOBSON ON BATS [Feb. 20, 
whole under surface of the body bright reddish brown, the hairs 
paler and more yellowish towards the base ; on the back dark brown, 
intermixed with bright sulphur-yellow, which replaces the brown 
across the loins; interfemoral membrane with longer, dark brown, 
almost black hairs. 
PTEROPUS CAPISTRATUS. 
Pteropus capistratus, Peters, Monatsber. Akad. Berl. 1876, p. 
316, pl. 
A single specimen of an adult female of this remarkable species 
agreeing in all respects with the original description. The single 
central longitudinal black line dividing the forehead, with a similar 
dark-coloured streak across the face on each side between the eye 
and the angle of the mouth, as well as its considerably larger size, 
at once distinguish this species from Pé. personatus, to which it is 
in all other respects very closely allied. 
CYNONYCTERIS BRACHYOTIS, sp. nov. 
Resembles (. minor, Dobson, in size and in the nakedness of the 
extremities, but may be at once distinguished by the much shorter 
ears, longer muzzle, and deciduous first upper premolars. 
Ears short, oval, rounded off above ; a prominent thickened lobule 
at the base of the outer margin of the ear-conch ; muzzle long and 
narrow, nostrils and upper lip as in C. amplexicaudata. 
Fur short, dark brown above, with greyish tips; beneath light 
ereyish brown. On the upper surface the back of the neck and 
shoulders (in an adult female) is very thinly covered, almost naked, 
and the fur of the body scarcely extends upon the membranes ; the 
tibiee and feet and adjacent interfemoral membrane are naked ; be- 
neath, a broad band of fur extends outwards behind the elbow and 
forearm, lessening in width towards the carpus. 
First upper premolar very small in immature individuals, decidu- 
ous in adults ; remaining teeth as in C. amplexicaudata. 
In the following Table the relative measurements of this species 
and of C. minor, Dobson, are given.
