leaf with many resemblances to that of Trdwnops, the poste- 
rior part similarly tridentate, the three points thinly hairy ; 
below them in the middle line there is a small median projec- 
tion, not so long as in Trdenops ; in front of that, again, there 
is something representing the anterior median plate in 
Tricenops, but it is produced forwards into two small pro- 
jecting points ; horizontal horseshoe small, a narrow supple- 
mentary leaf apparently present. Outside and behind the 
tridentate leaf, between it and the eyes, there are two small 
projections covered with long liairs. ars short, their outer 
and inner margins rising close together some way behind the 
eyes; the two margins are symmetrical with each other, 
rising vertically a short distance, then bending round abruptly 
and passing straight back to meet each other at the scarcely 
perceptible tip; the greatest height of the ear behind is only 
about one fifth higher than the point at which the two margins 
bend backwards in front. In fact the whole ear is very like 
a man’s “ stand-up” collar with the angles in front rounded 
off. 
Wings very delicately made; thumbs quite minute, the 
terminal part free from the membrane only about 2 millim. 
long, including the claw. Wings attached to the distal end 
of the tibia. Calcars short, reaching only about halfway up 
the tibia. Tail apparently of only five joints, the last one 
scarcely projecting from the membrane, which is acutely 
pointed behind. 
Fur fine, soft, and silky, about 6 millim. long on the back. 
Face bright buffy ; crown greyish; back greyish brown, the 
hairs uniformly coloured. Hairs of underside slaty grey 
basally, yellowish white terminally. 
Wing and interfemoral membranes uniformly smoky 
brown. 
Skull with the part in front of the orbits much less broad 
and swollen than in other members of the family, the brain- 
case being disproportionally large. Aygomata strongly con- 
vergent forwards. Palate ending opposite the middle of 
m.*. Basal region of skull broad between the bullee, without 
vacuities, but with two strongly marked divergent ridges 
running from the base of the pterygoids to the antero-internal 
corners of the bulla; sphenoidal fissures large and widely 
open. 
Beper incisors spatulate, indistinctly bicuspid. Canines 
with a small posterior secondary cusp at half their height. 
Anterior upper premolars minute, crushed in in the outer 
angle between the approximated canine and posterior premolar. 
Last molar about four fifths the size in cross-section of the
