70 BULLETIN 5*7, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 
Number of forms. — The genus is represented by the type species 
only. 
Characters. — -Like Eonycteris , but with wing attached to second 
toe instead of to first, and with lower molars 2-2 instead of 3-3. 
The teeth are throughout more robust than those of E onycteris, and 
the crowns of the last upper premolar and first upper molar are 
distinctly broader in proportion to their length. 
Species examined. — C cdlinycteris rosenbergii Jentink. 
Remarks. — Though closely related to Eonycteris this genus ap- 
pears to be well characterized by its heavier dentition and by the 
absence of the small m 3 . Doctor Jentink has kindly sent me a 
photograph of the skull of the type, which shows that the specimen 
is a young adult with the teeth unworn.

Upper incisors subequal, minute, simple, distinctly projecting for- 
ward, the diameter of the crowns much less than that of posterior 
molars, the teeth of each pair separated by a space about equal to 
diameter of tooth at alveolus, the pairs separated from each other by 
a slightly wider space and from canines by diastemata double as 
wide. Lower incisors similar to upper in form and position, but 
outer tooth appreciably larger than inner and median space much 
wider than that between outer incisor and canine, the latter interval 
about equal to that between the incisors of each pair. Canines strong
