A specimen of tliis species, wliich is very common in the peninsula of India 

 and in Burma, wherever fruit is abundant, was obtained at Bham6. In this specimen 

 I find two lower incisors only, which do not rise above the level of the gum. The 

 lower inner incisors have probably fallen out, and their former position become 

 hidden by the gum closing in above, while the interval naturally existing on each 

 side between the canines and the incisors, causes the remaining two incisors to apj)ear 

 symmetrically placed between the canines, each incisor occupying the centre of each 

 half space.

Ears large, acutely pointed, outer margin deeply hollowed out beneath the tip ; . 

 antitragus large, separated from the outer margin of the ear by an acute angular 

 notch ; nose-leaf weU developed, anterior horizontal portion broad, projecting laterally, 

 and in front beyond the upper lip, so as to completely conceal the muzzle when viewed 

 from above; the anterior flattened portion of the central nose-leaf is moderately 

 broad below, the upper part slightly narrowed and rounded off above; terminal 

 portion of the hinder nose-leaf short, sides almost straight, slightly convex. 



Wing-membrane attached to the ankles ; tail short, and contained, with the 

 exception of the extreme tip, within the interfemoral membrane, the posterior free 

 margin of wliich is concave.
