Muzzle moderately long, rather broad. Ears oval, not broadly rounded at their tips ; 
internal border much more convex than the external; their length nearly equals the 
interval between the lower border of the external meatus and the angle of the mouth, 
and their greatest breadth is a little in excess of half of that interval; naked posteriorly 
except at their bases ; internally sparsely covered with fine hairs, and a line of hairs 
along the folded portion of the inner margin of the internal border of the conch. 
Muzzle above and below covered with short hairs. Eur soft and short, longest on the 
under surface of the neck. Humerus and the proximal half of the forearm well clad 
with fur. Tibia longer than the thumb, sparsely covered with fine hairs which extend 
on to the toes. Upper surface of wing-membrane naked between the digits, but more 
or less sparsely clad with minute hairs on the parts adjoining the haired portions of 
the limbs, and most so external to the hind limbs. Interfemoral membrane, from the 
knees to the tail, densely covered with fine fur. Under surface of wing-membrane 
covered with soft fur immediately external to the forearm and backwards to the knees. 
Under surfaces of humerus and femur and of proximal portion of forearm more or less 
covered with fine hair. Under surface of tibia practically nude, also the wing and 
interfemoral membrane immediately external to it. Fur uniformly browmish with a 
greyish tint or occasionally markedly brown, the depths of the tints varying in intensity 
1 [Mr. Walter Draper, writing from “the Barrage,” says that these bats are bluish smoke-colour when 
alive, but the bluish tint disappears soon after death. — W. E. ue W.]
