The above are the measurements of the type, an immature speci-

Head as in V. donneri. Ears broadly rounded off above ; base 

 of the inner margin of the ear-conch rounded, ascending portion 

 slightly convex, becoming more convex in upper third ; outer margin 

 straight in upper half, thickened in lower half, and reflected out- 

 wards and backwards as far as a point oj>posite the base of the 

 tragus, where an emargination occurs, succeeded by a convexity 

 forming a terminal long lobule separated by a wart from the angle 

 of the mouth. Tragus short, broad, curved forwards and inwards, 

 I'eaching its greatest width above the middle of the inner margin, 

 at the base of the outer margin a distinct triangular lobule. 



Thumb moderate, with a small claw. Wings from the base of 

 the toes ; postcalcaneal lobe large and rounded ; extremity of the 

 tail projecting slightly. 



Fur short ; above, chestnut or light reddish brown ; beneath, dirty 

 buff. Face nearly naked ; wings naked except at their origin from 

 the sides of the body ; a few hairs only appear on the inferior 

 surface of the interfemoral membrane along the basal third of 

 the tail. 



Upper incisors much shorter than in V. dormeri, each with an 

 external basal cusp ; lower incisors in the direction of the jaws. 



In one specimen (in the Paris Museum) I found the first upper 

 premolar present on one side only ; in another, both premolars were 

 present.
