\i Prof, Peters lias revised the genera and species allied to Vam-

Acad, Wiss, Berl. 1865, pp, 503-525), We give a full abstract 
of this paper : — 
A. Ears connected by a membrane. 
I. Macrotus (Gray) with two or three species. 
B. Ears not connected by a membrane. 
a. Tail at least as long as the interfemoral membrane. 
II. Lonchorhina (Tonies), with one species. 
III. Macrophyllimi (Gray), with one species. 
b. Tail much shorter than the interfemoral membrane, or absent, 
a. Molar teeth 
ly. Vampyrus (Geoffr.) with one species. Ilorseshoe-shaped ap- 
pendage well developed, witli the edge free. Lower lip with two broad 
warts, separated by a median groove. Ears large. First phalanx of middle 
finger conspicuously longer than one-half of the metacarpus, and but little 
shorter than the second phalanx. Wing-membranes reaching the toes. Tail 
none. Incisors the second lower premolar well developed. 
V. Chrotopterus (subg. n., p. 505), differs from Vampyrus in having a 
short tail) and the second lower premolar is small, somewhat displaced in- 
wards. Incisors | *, Type Vampyrus auritus (Peters). 
VI. Schizostoma (Geryais). Horseshoe-shaped appendage well deve- 
loped j two naked warts, separated by a median groove, in the middle of tho 
lower lip. In other respects, externally, agreeing with Lophostoma, In- 
cisors the second lower premolar well developed, longer than broad. With 
three species : — 
1. Sch. behnii (sp. n., p. 605). The distance between the ears equals 
that of the eye from the margin of the snout j they are rather shorter than the 
head, and provided with about eight deepish transverse folds on the outer mar- 
gin j the lower auricular lobe forms an obtuse angle with the external edge 
of the ear, Tragus pointed, swollen along its inner edge, and provided with 
two protuberances at the base of its outer surface. Eyes much nearer to the 
ears than to the margin of the snout. The horseshoe-shaped appendage is 
conspicuously broader than the lanceolate appendage, which is three-eighths 
longer than broad, much pointed, and with the margins entire. On the dorsal
