There is one of them inItaly (Dinops cestoiiii, Savi). M. Geoffroy has applied the nameNyctonomtis to those which havefour inferior incisors. The Molossines were at first dis-covered only in America; but wenow know several from both con-tinents. Some of them have thehinder thumb placed farther fromthe other digits than these arefrom each other, and capable ofseparate motion; a character on which, in one species where it is very strongly marked, Dr. Horsfield hasestablished his genus Cheiromcles [the ears of which, also, diflfer in being widely separated]. It is probable that we should also place here the Tkyroptera of Spix, which appears to have several cha-racters of the Molossiues, and the thumb of which has a little concave palette pecuhar to them (fig. 10, a), bywhich they are enabled to cling- more closely. [Several species of this genus agree in possessing this appendage, which is
