Ears very similar in shape to those of K. hardwichii, but the an- 

 terior part of the outer side of the conch does not project so far for- 

 wards ; the tragus has also a small tooth on its outer margin, which 

 ill its lower half is regularly slightly convex ; laid forwards the tips 

 of the ears extend to the end of the muzzle. 



The upper lip has a dense fringe of hair extending almost as far 

 as the nasal apertures on each side. 



Wings from the base of the claws ; thumbs and feet large, armed 

 with very large and strong claws ; free edge of the interf emoral 

 membrane margined with small papiHee and short hairs. 



Fur, above, light shining brown, with darker tips ; beneath paler. 



The upper inner incisors are comparatively shorter than in K. 

 hardivicMi, the outer incisors scarcely visible. Dentition in other 

 respects similar to that of K. hardiuickii. 



The following measurements have been taken by me from the 

 type specimen preserved in the Leyden Museum: — 



Length, head and body 2"-2, tail 2"-2, ear 0"-65, forearm l"-7, 

 third finger 3"-6, fifth finger 2"-6, tibia 0"-9, calcaneum 0"-8, foot 

 0"-4. 



The above measurements show that this species much exceeds in 

 size all the preceding.

Type in the collection of the Leyden Museum. 



This species is closely related to K. hardwichii, from which it is 

 chiefly distinguished by its very much greater size, by the smaUness 

 of the outer upper incisors, and by the colour of the fur.

About the size of K. hardwicHi, but the ears are conspicuously 

 much larger, laid forwards the tips extend one fifth of an inch be- 

 yond the end of the nose ; the inner margin is regularly convex 

 from the base to the tip, the most anterior part of the convexity 

 of the inner margin projects forwards almost as far as the end of 

 the muzzle ; the upper third of the outer margin is occupied by a 

 broad obtusely angular emargination, very different from the short 

 concavity beneath the tip in K. hardwickii ; the lower two thirds 

 of the outer margin is much expanded, and similar to the same part 

 of the ear in K. picta. Tragus similar in shape to that of K. hard-
