Crown of the head slightly elevated above the face-line ; muzzle 

 shaped more like that of some species of Vespertilio {V. emargi- 

 naius, e. g.), and the glandular prominences between the nostrils 

 and ej'^es less developed than in most species of Vesperugo. Ears 

 about four fifths the length of the head, the ascending inner margin 

 straight or faintly convex, the upper half of the outer margin 

 slightly concave, terminating in a line directly below the eye, but 

 on a lower level than the angle of the mouth ; tragus nearly half 

 the length of the ear, shaped like that of V. serotinus (Plate XII. 

 fig. 6). 



Posterior margin of the interfemoral membrane festooned with di- 

 stinct papillffi arranged like the teeth of a comb (Plate XII. fig. 6, a). 



Fur above sienna-brown, with shining tips, beheath ivholly pure 

 white ; the dark-coloured fur of the back does not pass beyond a 

 line connecting the angle of the mouth (when the head is extended) 

 and the under surface of the humerus. Interfemoral, antebrachial, 

 and wing-membranes between the humerus and femur white ; the 

 remaining. parts of the wing-membrane pale brown. 



Inner upper incisor long, with a second cusp on its outer side 

 near the extremity. Outer incisor short, lying close to the base of 

 the inner incisor. Second premolar in the upper jaw separated

 premolar is distinctly visible from without. Lower incisors not 

 crowded.
