140 CORDATED BAT. 
The Peruvian Bat has a head something like a 
Pug-Dog: the ears large and strait; sharp at the 
ends, and pointing forv/ards: two canine-teeth, 
and two small cutting-teeth between in each 
jaw: tail enclosed in the membrane, which joins 
to each hind leg, and is also supported by two 
long cartilaginous ligaments involved in the 
membrane: colour of the fur iron-grey: body 
equal in size to a middling rat : extent of wing two 
feet five inches. Mr. Pennant observes, that Mr. 
Schreber's figure of this species is erroneously co- 
loured ; being represented of a straw-colour. It 
is a native of Peru. An extraordinary conforma- 
tion, according to Seba, takes place in the legs of 
this Bat; the tibia and fibula being placed sepa- 
rately from each other, and each invested by its 
own distinct and hairy skin. These, however, 
seem to be nothing more than the two cartilag- 
inous ligaments mentioned by Mr. Pennant. 
The remaining species (except the last) are dis- 
tinguished by having no tails.
