Locality, Gowrie Creek, Cardwell. Coll. Broadbent. One

(examined, in al, and dry). Skull of preceding. 
Taphozous nudicluniatus. 
A species connecting T. nudiventris with saccolaimus and 
affinis, having the nudity of the lower back of the first, together 
with the occasional development of a minute wing-pouch, and 
the grooved lip and smooth ear of the others, together with no 
wing-pouch. Its hairy abdomen and nonpapillate ear sever 
it from nudiventris. Like saccolaimus, it has the fur more or less 
speckled, but on the other hand differently distributed, and, 
in the female, the throat sac is rudimentary, as in affinis. From 
the last it differs greatly in the disposition of the fur, colouring, 
and size. 
Adult Female. — Ear nearly as broad (from inner root to 
outer margin) 1 as long, as long as the face from the inner root of 
the ear to the end of the nose ; inner margin thin, not papillate, 
regularly convex, tip rather narrow, outer margin slightly convex, 
tragus concave in front, convex on upper moiety, the edge of the 
convexity curving downwards and forwards near the base upon 
the outer surface. Lower lip with a central cushion, emarginate 
above, deeply grooved below. Gular sac represented by a fold 
of integument and nearly bare skin within its compass ; wing from 
the proximal end of the tarsus ; radiometacarpal pouch very small 
or absent. 
Fur. — Above, on the muzzle scanty and short, nearly obsolete 
on the canthus rostralis, denser on the frontal line, longer and 
forming tufts on the cheek behind the eyes ; fur of the head ascending
