﻿238 Gr. E. jydh^ow— Descriptions of New Bats. [No. 4, 



Fur, above, dark-brown, the extreme tips paler and shining ; beneath 

 much darker, ahnost black for three-fourths the length of the hairs, the 

 remaining portion ashy. In front the face is everywhere densely covered, 

 the long hairs concealing the eyes and leaving the tip of the nose alone 

 naked : on each side of the muzzle two or three small glandular wart-like 

 elevations may be seen through the hairs. The ears are quite naked ante- 

 riorly, posteriorly their bases only are covered. On the wing-membrane the 

 fur of the back extends as far as a line drawn from the junction of the 

 proximal and middle thirds of the humerus to the commencement of the 

 distal third of the femur : on the interfemoral membrane it ceases abruptly 

 at the end of the second caudal vertebra. Beneath the fur extends upon 

 the wing-membrane as far as a line drawn from the elbow to the knee-joint ; 

 the interfemoral membrane is covered at the root of the tail, and three 

 fourths of the remaining part is very thinly clothed with the short hairs 

 arising from the transverse dotted lines. 



Incisors, on each side, parallel and acutely pointed ; inner incisors 

 longest, with a small acutely pointed talon near their extremities on the 

 outer side. In the lower jaw the second premolar is small but distinctly 

 visible, standing in the tooth-row ; in the upper jaw the space between the 

 canine and third premolar is small, and the second premolar is very minute, 

 placed interiorly, in the angle between the first and third premolar, and with 

 difficulty distinguishable even with the aid of a lens. 



Length, head and body 1"*8 inches ; tail l"-6 ; head 0"*65 ; ear 0"*58; 

 tragus 0"-2o ; forearm r''5 ; thumb 0"-25 j second finger 2"-7 ; fourth fin- 

 ger r'-9 ; tibia 0"Q ; foot and claws 0''-3.
