Internal border of ear convex from the tip inwards and backwards. External border 
('marginate below the tip, then slightly convex, and afterwards more or less concave as 
it bends forwards to the side of the head. The height of the ear is half as long again as 
the interval between the attachment of its external border to the side of the head and 
the tip of the snout. A shallow pit immediately before the interior border of the margin 
of the external meatus formed by an outward fold of its rim. Posterior portion of nose- 
membrane tridentate, the central portion triangular, pointed, the external sections 
lower and more rounded; a short longitudinal fold connects each eminence with the 
intermediate portion of the nose-leaf, the three containing between them two cells or 
pits. The upper margin of the intermediate portion is continuous with the contour of 
the anterior or nasal portion of the nose-leaf, whilst the outer margin of the tridentate 
or posterior section of the nose-leaf passes outwards and sweeps forwards transverselv 
on the side of the muzzle above the root of the canine ; in its lower portion it encloses 
a short secondary fold Avhich does not extend downward beyond it, and external to the 
])rincipal fold there is a very short rudimentary fold. A cell or pit lies beloAv the 
internal dentation of the posterior section of the membrane ; and below it, between the 
wavy outer border of the downward and forward continuation of the dentate portion, 
there is a deep channel, and another between the nose-membrane proper and the short 
secondary fold. The central fold of the tridentate portion is prolonged doAvnwards 
over the convex face of the intermediate portion of the nose-membrane to the septum, 
dividing the nostrils, behind each of which there is a depression. The external border 
of each nostril is raised, terminating in a more or less obtuse point. The nasal portion
