jEfafe. Peninsula of India ; Ceylon ; Burma ; Sumatra ; Java. Pro- 

 bably distributed generally throughout the Oriental Region. 



The very peculiar markings of the membranes of K. picta at once 

 distinguishes it from all other known species of the genus, but it 

 also differs in the much narrower and more pointed muzzle, and in 

 the form and position of the upper inner incisors, which are remark- 

 ably large, much curved forwards, and are placed so much in front 

 of the canines that the outer incisors lie almost directly behind 

 them. 



2. Kerivoula brtinnea. 



Ears slightly shorter than the head, laid forwards the extremities 

 do not extend quite to the end of the muzzle ; ear-conch very simi- 

 lar in outline to that of K. picta ; tragus with a slight indication of 

 a lobe at the base of the outer margin, which, however, is not suc- 

 ceeded by an emargination, and the projection opposite the base of 

 the inner margin is obtuse. 



Fur, above, yellowish brown, the basal half of the hairs very dark 

 brown or black ; beneath paler or greyish brown, the base of the 

 hairs also dark-coloured ; verj' long and dense, covering nearly half 

 the upper surface of the interfemoral membrane, and extending 

 along the legs to the backs of the feet ; the posterior margin of the 

 interfemoral membrane has a comb-like fringe of curved hairs of 

 equal length, as in K. picta and K. lanosa. Membranes dark brown. 

 Upper incisors nearly equal in length and in cross section, the 

 inner incisor on each side with a small postero-external basal cusp 

 visible from the front ; of the lower incisors the outer on each side 

 has a blunt cusp rising considerably above the others ; second upper 

 premolar slightly smaller than the first, with a more oblique cusp 

 inclined forwards. 



Length (of a not full-grown c?), head and body l"-5, tail l"-9, 

 head 0"-55, ear 0"-5, tragus 0"-35, forearm l"-3, thumb 0"-25 ; 

 third finger— metacarp. l"-25, 1st ph. 0"-65, 2nd ph. 0"-8 ; fifth 

 finger— metacarp. l"-2, 1st ph. 0"-4, 2nd ph. 0"-3 ; tibia 0"-55, 

 foot 0"-3. 



Hah. Uncertain. 



This species is at once distinguished by the very dark colour of 

 its fur, by the comb-like fringe along the interfemoral membrane 

 behind, and by the large size of the upper outer incisors.
