 crowded, in the direction of the jaw ; second upper premolar sepa-

Muzzle obtuse, more so than in V. pipistrellus, glandular pro- 

 minences on the sides large, rounded, adding more to the width 

 than to the depth of the muzzle, and causing a furrow between 

 them and the crown of the head. Ears triangular, as in V. pipis- 

 trellus ; but the outer margin is straight or very slightly concave, 

 and the tragus is somewhat shorter, and its inner margin rather 

 more concave. 



Feet small ; wing-membrane attached to the base of the toes ; 

 postcalcaneal lobe distinct, rounded ; last rudimentary caudal ver- 

 tebra free. 



The head, and face between the eyes, are densely covered with 

 moderately long fur, while the space in front of the ears, about the
