but the brain case is slightly less flattened. The sagittal crest is well 

 developed as in the other large subspecies. 



Teeth. — The teeth of Vespertilio fuscus cuhensis (fig. 26 c) diifer from 

 those of true fuscus in the greater breadth of the inner (lingual) sides 

 of the maxillary molars. These teeth are also distinctly shortened in 

 their transverse diameter. These peculiarities are exaggeratious of 

 the conditions found in miradorensis and hahamensis. 



Measurements. — See table below. 



Specimens examined. — Total number, 11, from the following locality: 

 Cuba: Trinidad, 10'; , 1. 



General reniarlis. — Vespertilio fuscus cuhensis is a fairly well marked 

 insular form apparently most closely related to Y. fuscus miradorensis 

 of southern Mexico. It differs much less from this large continental sub- 

 species than from V. fuscus hahamensis., its nearest geographical ally.
