VESPERTILIO TEMMINCKII. 



Dentium formula. — Primores '-^, Laniarii ,^, Molares ~. 



XJppEK Jaw. — Front teeth, two on each side, oblique, compressed, emarginate, imbricate, the interior some- 

 what larger. Grinders, four on each side; they are all carnivorous teeth, the first being somewhat smaller and 

 compressed. Lower Jaw : — Grinders, five on each side, compressed, with points more elevated than usual. Of the two 

 anterior teeth, the first is very minute and simple, and the second, margined at the base. The canine teeth are short, 

 tending slightly outward, with a compressed anterior heel. The intermediate front teeth are subtrifid. 



The head is short and broad ; the forehead slightly elevated. The nose is broad, and the eyes are concealed by 

 a thick fur, which also partially covers the short rostrum and the base of the ears. The nose is broad, and the eyes 

 are obscure. The ears are as large as the head : the auricles are oblong, obtuse, rounded, and have a slight tendency 

 backward ; the tragus is short, semilunar, obtuse, with the extremity pointing forward. The expansion of the 

 wings is proportionally great, and the interfemoral membrane marked with transverse veins. The fur, both above and 

 underneath, is brown, with a fulvous lustre. This species agrees in the length of the body with the Vespertilio 

 tralatitius : the expansion of the wings is somewhat less.
