Muzzle thick, obtusely conical ; head slightly raised above the face- 

 line ; glandular prominences between the eyes and nose small, not 

 causing a depression on the muzzle above. Ears short, narrow, and 

 rounded at the tips ; the inner basal lobe square below, the horizon- 

 tal part of its margin straight, forming a right angle with the 

 ascending portion, the lower half of the ascending part of the inner 

 margin straight or even faintly concave, the upper half convex, the 

 tip not projecting outwards ; from the summit of the ear the outer 

 margin slants slightly outwards and downwards for a short distance, 

 then becomes straight and slightly reflected outwards as far as a 

 point opposite the base of the tragus, where it is deeply emarginate, 

 and beyond which it terminates in a very convex short lobe. 

 Tragus narrow, attenuated towards the tip, acutely pointed, much 

 curved forwards and inwards ; the lower third of the outer margin 

 straight, with a distinct small horizontal lobule at the base, the 

 upper two thirds convex ; inner margin concave ; from the base of 

 the inner margin a narrow prominent ridge passes outwards and 

 slightly upwards across the anterior surface of the tragus to the 

 outer margin.
