haira is pale buff; beneath, light greyisli brown. A narrow line 

 of fur extends upon the humerus and fleshy part of the forearm, but 

 the membranes are quite naked.

Ears longer than the head, but in general outline similar to those 

 of L. bidens, united by a low band across the forehead. Nose-leaf 

 and warts of the lower Up as in L. bidens. 



Wing-membrane from the dorsal surface of the second meta- 

 tarsal bone ; calcaneum longer than the foot ; tail as long as the 

 foot, of four vertebrte, the extremity projecting. 



Fur, above, brown, whitish at the base of the hairs ; beneath, 

 paler ; on both surfaces extending outwards upon the proximal two 

 thirds of the humerus ; forearm naked above, but beneath the prox- 

 imal third is clothed thinly with fine hairs ; on the upper surface 

 the metacarpal bone of the thumb is similarly clothed. 



Second upper premolar much smaller than the canine in cross sec- 

 tion at the base ; the second minute lower premolar is as high as or 

 slightly higher than, the cingulum of the first lower premolar. The 

 sagittal crest is well developed, and the skull is one third narrower 

 between the postorbital fossae than at the point corresponding to 

 the first upper premolar. 



The above description of this species has been taken from Dr. 

 Peters's notes on the type specimens preserved in the Vienna Museum, 

 Avhich I have not yet had an opportunity of examining.

This species, though resembling L. bidens in size, in the shape of 

 the ear-conch, of the nose-leaf, and of the warts on the lower lip, is 

 yet easily distinguished by the much greater size of the ears, which 

 are united by a low band across the forehead, and by the greater 

 length of the tibia. 



The following Table exhibits in the first column the measurements 

 of an adult specimen of L. bidens, in the second those of the type 

 of L. hrasiliense, and in the third the measurements of one of the 

 types of L. amblyotis (as given by Dr. Peters) are shown : —
