118 MR. G. E. DOBSON ON BATS [Feb. 20, 
tremities of the hairs on the head and about the ears yellow; on the 
back the greater part pale buff; a dark vertebral line, as in H. cepha- 
lotes, extends from a point between the shoulders to the tail; be- 
neath dull yellowish buff throughout. 
Upper canine on each side with a prominent external cusp; last 
lower molar with a cireular crown. In H. cephalotes the upper 
canine has a blunt ill-defined external projection, and the crown of 
the last lower molar is oval or quadrilateral. The skull in this species 
is also very much larger and differently shaped. The frontal bone 
is deeply grooved between the postorbital processes ; and the nasal 
bones terminate at such a height above the premaxilla as to be on 
the same level with the floor of the groove behind them; the zygo- 
matic arch is more than twice as thick as in H. cephalotes; and the 
postorbital processes of the frontal are longer. 
The following Table exhibits the measurements of the type of this 
species, of another, immature specimen with the epiphyses of the 
finger-bones unconsolidated, and of a perfectly adult specimen of 
H. cephalotes from Timor.

are four upper incisors and two lower.
