Outer upper incisors considerably larger than the inner ones. 

 First upper premolar much smaller than the second, but not 

 minute ; second premolar long and pointed, exceeding the canine 

 both in cross section and in vertical aspect ; last molar a narrow 

 transverse lamina. Lower incisors small, equal, and trilobate. 

 Lower canine scarcely exceeding the first premolar in vertical ex- 

 tent ; second premolar not equal to the first molar vertically.

Hah. Thibet. Type in the collection of the Paris Museum. 



This very interesting species, which possesses the dentition of one 

 section of the genus and the form of ears peculiar to the other, haa 

 been well described by M. Alphonse Milne-Edwards ; and the de- 

 scription is accompanied by an excellent plate. There is nothing 

 more striking than the form of the nostrils, which are quite dif- 

 ferent from those of any other species of Bat.

(1876)*. 



Head and muzzle as in H. sn.illus. Ears small, narrow, and 

 pointed, the tip narrowly ronnded off ; outer margin of the conch 

 as in H. suilhis, the upper third angularly emarginate, the middle 

 third abruptly convex, the lower third straight, ending opposite the 

 base of the tragus ; tragus acutely pointed, moderately long and 

 slightly curved outwards. 



Thumb long, with a strong claw ; the last (small) vertebra of the 

 tail free ; wings from the base of the toes. 



The interfemoral membrane is densely covered above with rather 

 long hair, which, however, thins out towards the posterior margin ; 

 and a few rather short fine hairs only appear upon the feet. 



Fur, above, dark brown with yellowish-brown extremities ; 

 beneath, similar, but the extreme points of the hairs are ashy. 



Upper incisors large, with acute summits, almost equal to the 

 canine in vertical extent ; inner incisors somewhat larger than the 

 outer, with a second, blunt, posterior cusp arising from the cingulum; 

 upper premolars equal to each other and also to the canines in ver- 

 tical extent ; the second premolar slightly exceeds the first in the 

 antero-])osterior diameter of its base; last upper molar nearly equal 

 to half the antepenultimate molar. The vertical cusp of the lower
