VESPERTILIO TEMMINCKII. 



Ears large, auricle very broad at the base, with the posterior lobe descending, and terminating with a rounded 

 process opposite to the angle of the mouth ; the anterior and posterior lobes meet when the ears are in a collapsed 

 state, and constitute a deep fold including a long linear-lanceolate tragus. The rostrum is very short, depressed, 

 and obtuse, and the skuU globular, and distended between the ears. The entire length is three inches, of which 

 nearly one half is made up by the tail. The distinguishing character of this species is a very long, delicate, soft silky 

 fur, grayish brown above, and brown, with a tawny tint, underneath. The interfemoral membrane, and the membrane 

 of the anterior extremities near the body and thighs, are marked with regularly parallel transverse veins.

Upper Jaw. — Front teeth, two on each side; the interior tooth oblique, compressed at the extremity, and 

 notched ; the exterior tooth obsoletely angular at the base, attenuated at the point, having the same direction as the 

 interior tooth, to which it is closely applied. Canine teeth long, nearly erect, obsoletely triangular. Two false 

 grinders, and three carnivorous teeth on each side, the first compressed, short, regular in its disposition ; the second 



margined at the base, and compressed at the point which projects beyond the neighbouring grinders. Lower Jaw: 



six grinders ; the three first with simple points, increasing successively in dimensions. Front teeth somewhat less 

 distinctly emarginate than usual. 



Head, cuneate and broad above ; skull with a very slight distension posteriorly, a few bristly hairs scattered 

 over the face; ears large, auricle plain, broad, obtuse, rounded anteriorly and posteriorly. Tragus short, linear, 

 erect, obtuse. Wings narrow and of considerable extent ; bone of the fore-arm slender. Point of the tail lengthened. 

 Interfemoral membrane slightly dotted. Fur of moderate length, of a sooty black tint above ; underneath, sooty, 

 with a grayish cast. Length fi-om the nose to the tail, three inches ; of the expanded membrane, ten inches. 



This, species has much of the habit of European VespertiUones.
