specimens it can be drawn from the mouth for nearly half an inch 

 without using any forcible extension ; the anterior half of its sur- 

 face is thickly covered with soft, recurved papillae, which increase 

 in length towards the tip. 



In the form, number, and arrangement of the teeth, the dentition 

 corresponds precisely with that of If. minimus. As might be ex- 

 pected from the greater size of the animals of this species, the teeth 

 are considerably larger than those of M. minimus, and but for this 

 difference, it would be impossible to distinguish the lower jaws of 

 the two species ; in the upper jaw, however, the first premolar is 

 minute, and relatively smaller, compared with the other teeth, than 

 in 31. mittimus.

Phyllorhina Nicobarensis, Dobson, pi. xx, fig. 2. 



Head long, muzzle obtuse, thick ; ears large, acutely pointed, 

 outer margin slightly concave below the tip, conch marked with 

 transverse striae ; no central pore behind the nose-leaf, but on either 

 side above the eyes a wart-like eminence having on its summit the 

 opening of two minute pores around which long straight hairs 

 arise. Upper portion or crest of the transverse nose-leaf simple, 

 forming an arc of a circle, folded or rolled back on itself and over- 

 hanging the concave base which is divided into two cells only by a 

 single central longitudinal fold ; in front, the horizontal, horse-shoe 

 shaped membrane has three small points on its anterior margin.
