PlPISTRELLTTS LEUCOTIS, Dobson, U. Sp. 



Ears triangular witb rounded tips ; outer margin slightly concave be- 

 neath the tip, then convex, emarginate opposite the base of the tragus, and 

 terminating in a small lobe. Tragus slightly curved inwards and rounded 

 at the tip. Glands of upper lip well developed, causing a slight depression 

 on the face behind the nostrils. Tail long, wholly contained within the 

 interfemoral membrane. A well-defined, rounded lobe posterior to the cal- 

 caueum. 



Ears, sides of face about the eyes, interfemoral membrane, ante- 

 humeral membrane, and that portion of wing-membrane along the sides of 

 the body, white, very translucent ; remaining portion of wing membrane 

 sepia, traversed by white reticulations. Fur, on the upper surface, black at 

 the base of the hairs for about half their length, remaining portion light 

 yellowish brown ; beneath, somewhat similar. 



The fur of the head extends forwards as far as the labial prominences 

 which are thinly covered with a few short hairs ; in front of the ear and 

 about the eye the side of the face is almost naked. On the upper surface 

 the fur of the body extends outwards, covering the proximal third of the 

 humerus and the wing-membrane thence, backwards, to the knee joint ; pos- 

 teriorly, the anterior third of the interfemoral membrane is covered ; beneath 

 the fur of the abdomen extends upon the wing-membrane to nearly the same 

 extent as on the upper surface, and the interfemoral membrane is clothed 

 with a few, short hairs.
