outer margin concave below the tip, the portion below being very faintly convex 
and forming an obtuse angle at its junction with the antitragus, which is rather 
shallow. 
Horizontal nose-leaf not covering the sides of the muzzle; a small papilla on each 
side of the anterior end of the mesial raphe, as in R. Jdpposideros, Bechst. 
Sides of the sella straight, not contracted at their middle, but parallel, its summit 
somewhat rounded and surmounted posteriorly by an acutely-pointed process; 
posterior leaf moderately long and ending in a subacute point. Lower lip with two 
grooves. Wings arising from above the ankles, the interfemoral membrane from 
halfway between the knee and the ankle. 
Upper surface pale brown, the lower two-thirds of the hair being greyish. Under 
surface nearly pure white. Wings and interfemoral membranes darker brown, the free 
margins of both membranes being greyish. The lower portion of the ear, including 
the tragus and the nose-membrane, the face, and chin of a yellowish flesh-colour. 
Dentition : i. c. i, pm. |, m. | = 32. 
Upper incisors small, chisel-shaped. First upper premolar very minute, wedged in 
between the second premolar and the canine, lying more or less towards the outer 
edge of the tooth-line. Second upper premolar closely opposed internally to the base 
of the canine, much longer than the molars. Lower incisors markedly trifid, the first 
pair placed slightly anterior to the second, than which they are considerably smaller. 
First lower premolar small, half the height of the third, and closely opposed to the 
canine. Second lower premolar very minute, lying on the outer side of the tooth-row, 
wedged in between the first and third premolars; the third premolar large, being 
slightly higher than the adjoining molar. The second upper premolar is not closely 
opposed to the canine. 
The forearm measures 45 to 47 mm. 
The parallel sides and rounded upper margin of the sella, and the subacutely- 
pointed character of the terminal leaf, at once separate this species from all the others. 
This species is distributed over Europe to the south of the Alps and over North 
Africa. It also occurs throughout Palestine, Syria, and Asia Minor. 
In one female from Eamleh the pubic teats are 3 mm. long and 2 mm. in their 
greatest breadth; but the former measurement must have been greatly exceeded in life, 
as each is thrown into a number of transverse ridges or folds. Each teat is com¬ 
pressed from before backwards, doubtless due to pressure exercised on it by the mouth 
of the young. 
The skin of the base of the abdomen immediately before these teats is much 
corrugated transversely and a nearly hairless eminence lies between and behind the 
teats and immediately before the transverse opening to the vagina, but separated from 
it by a marked transverse fold. The area external to the teats is also bare. These
