in t.lie latter species. Fur practicality confined to bodj?- ; hairs of 

 back about 5-5 mm. in length. Colour much darker, the upper 

 surface dark bistre brown, lower surface Y>^\i^^- brown, the hairs 

 everywhere blackish slaty for their basal halves, their ends brown, 

 ears broad, triangular, their tips rather narrowly rounded off; 

 tragus short, very broad, shape quite as in Micheneri. Wing mem- 

 branes blackish throughout, not reticulated greyish as in hitcheneri. 



Skull shorter and more rounded than in hitcheneri, nasal notch 

 similarly broad. Basial pits present, fairly deep, but not so sharply 

 defined as in kitcheneri. Teeth as in that species, the incisors of 

 the same siz^e and relative proportions, the anterior premolar simi- 

 larly very minute, and the posterior one similarly close up to the 

 canine. In the lower teeth again there appears to be no definable 

 difference between the two.

This species is distinguishable from ./■*, mordax, the only Indian 

 bat with a similarly broad tragus, by its shorter skull, its much 

 smaller 1" and the absence of the characteristic black and lioary 

 coloration. From P. ceylonicus by its comparatively still smaller P\ 

 its broader tragus and deep brown colour. From P. imhricatus, if 

 it occurs in India, it differs by its considerably greater size, and 

 finally from the Bornean F. Idtcheneri by the various characters 

 mentioned in the description above, notably the darker colour of the 

 fur and wing membranes, and its smaller size. 



It is named in honoiir of General Count Luigi Cadorna, the Com- 

 mander-in-Chief of oiu- Italian Allies. 



Kerivoula lenis, sp. n. 



Closely allied to K. papillosa, but with smaller skull and teeth. 



Size rather less than in pa,piUom. 



General colour as in that species, but the head more whitish buffy, 

 and the hairs of the back with tiieir basal three-fifths dark slaty 

 blackish ; in ■papillosa only the bases are darker, and that not so strong- 

 ly. Ears of the same general shape as in papillosa, but the projection
