. The Annals and magazine of natural history; zoology, botany, and geology. Natural history; Zoology; Botany; Geology. 166 Mr. 0. Thomas on Bats from Old Calabar. all like it are V. vagans, Dobs.*, and, in a much lesser degree, V. maurus, Bias.; but these species have a very different dentition, possessing a minute first upper premolar and other characters of the subgenus Vesperugo. Kerivoula Smitliii. Ears of medium length, laid forward they extend about one tenth of an inch beyond the end of the muzzle; inner margin very strongly convex, its centre being over a point halfway between the eye and the tip of the nose ; outer margin with a deep emargination just below the tip. Tragus slender, tapering, with a very small triangular lobule at the base, succeeded above by a shal- low emargination, as shown in the woodcut; from the angle above this emargination the sides slope evenly to the tip, which is acutely pointed. Fur, above and below, greyish brown, the tips of the hairs shining grey. Wings to the base of the toes. Distribution of fur much as in A", lanosa, Sm., with the exception of the marginal fringe to the interfemoral, of which there is no trace in this species. Inner upper incisors long, with a distinct posterior secondary cusp at a point about two thirds of their height; the outer upper incisors just equal the secondary cusp of the inner inci- sors, and have also a distinct internal posterior secondary cusp, whose tip is about half as high as the main cusp ; upper premolars bearing the usual proportions to each other, the third being the largest and the second the smallest, the first being just intermediate in size. First and second lower incisors trilobate, outer ones unicuspidate; lower premolars equal. Length (of the type, an adult male, in spirit)—head and body l"-55, tail 1"7, head 0"-58, ear 0""55, tragus 0"-3, fore- arm l"-3, thumb 0"'27, third finger 2""7, fifth finger 1"-9, tibia 0"
