562 THE AMERICAN NATURALIST. 
Characters: Most nearly related to H. armiger and H. swinhoei, but 
much smaller than either ; vertical ridges on erect portion of nose leaf well 
developed and free edge of horseshoe entire, characters which agree with 
the large H. armiger and H. swinhoei; and not with H. pratti and the 
small Æ. leptophylia, the only other known species with erect portion of 
nose leaf narrower than horseshoe. 
Color and fur: Fur long and fluffy, about 12 mm. long in middle of 
back ; confined to body, and not extending on the membranes ; on humerus 
it extends not quite to middle ; on ear it covers a little more than the basal 
third, and on inner margin in front it extends upward, sparsely, nearly to 
the top ; in Nos. 10003 and 10004 the basal portion of the fur on back 
and whole length of fur on lower surface is pale, dull cinnamon ; on lower 
back and rump the tips of the hairs are much darker — nearly seal brown ; 
No. 10002 has the under fur darker than in the other two specimens and 
much more drab in color. 
Ears: The ears are large, very broad at base, and tapering abruptly 
from behind to a point; posterior surface roughened by many (about 
eleven) distinct cross ridges. 
Muzzle and chin: Arrangement of nose leaf, horseshoe, etc. (so far as 
can be judged from dry specimens), nearly as in the large Æ. armiger, t.e., 
erect portion of nose leaf narrower than horseshoe ; vertical ridges on erect 
portion of nose leaf well developed ; free edge of horseshoe entire. 
Measurements: (All external measurements are from the dried 
specimens.)

Skull: No. 10002 9, greatest length, 25.2 ; occipitonasal length, 21; 
zygomatic width, 13.6; length from front of canine to back of last molar, 
10; length of mandible, 17.2. The skulls of all three specimens aie 
imperfect, the basal and posterior portions, including the bulle, having 
been cut away. The remaining portions agree closely with the skull of 
H. armiger, as do the teeth, except in being. very much smaller. 
I am indebted to Mr. Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., for assistance 1n 
comparing this bat with specimens in the National Museum.
