1918] Grinnell: A Synopsis of the Bats of California 323 
Anterior upper premolar minute, and crowded into inner angle be- 
tween canine and large second premolar. First lower premolar 
scarcely half height of second. Cusps of lower molars more devel- 
oped than those of upper molars. 
Skull short and broad, greatest width at least two-thirds its length. 
Rostrum about two-thirds length of brain-case, and sloping abruptly 
downward from it anteriorly. (See pl. 23, figs. 49, 51; pl. 24, figs. 
57, 59.) Auditory bullae greater in diameter than space between 
them. Zygomatiec arches not expanded. Ear short and rounded; 
when laid forward reaching barely to mouth. Fifth finger much 
shorter than third, the difference between them about equaling length 
of thumb. Interfemoral membrane very large; most of its upper 
surface furred; length of tail vertebrae exceeding that of forearm. 
Mammae four.
