This species belongs to the group having the hind legs more or 

 less cream buff in color. The ears are enormous occupying the entire 

 sides of the head, and the pale yellowish hue of the outer side of the 

 limbs is very conspicuous. In general appearance it is very like G. 

 mossambicus, but the characters of the skull are very different. The 

 species just named is remarkable for its very short rostrum while the 

 present animal has a long rostrum, with slender nasals, of about equal 

 width for their entire length, while those of its relative broaden con- 

 siderably at the tip ; the bullae are much longer and narrower and 

 the molar series much larger. 



Subgenus 3. Otogale. 



First upper premolar shaped like canine; muzzle short; angle of 

 mandible produced downwards; tarsus shorter in proportion to tibia 

 than in members of subgenus Otolicnus.
