THE f amilieS and genera 6f bats. 71 and well developed, without secondary cusps or prominent cingula, the maxillary canines with deep longitudinal groove on anterior sur- face. Cheek teeth small, without distinct contrasts of size or form, the two anterior in each jaw {pm 2, pm 3, pm 2, pm 8) with the crowns compressed and elevated into distinct though blunt cusp, the others {pm4, m1, m2, pm 4, m u m 2, m 8) with narrow nearly flat orowns bounded by indistinct ridges, of which that on the outer side is the less developed. Anterior premolar, both above and below, close to canine, but separated from succeeding premolar by space about double as great as width of its crown. In both jaws the anterior premolar is smaller than the next. Skull (fig. 10) with a weak rostrum and large brain case, the occipital region not tubular but so strongly deflected that the alveolar line projected backward passes between root of zygoma and middle of braincase. Postorbital processes short and little curved. Development of audital bul- lae about as in Gynopterus. Mandible very weak, and ramus distinctly con- cave beneath. Symphysis long, its greatest diameter equal to about twice the distance between outer sides of ca- nines. Externally characterized by presence of well-developed claw on in- dex finger, attachment of wing mem- brane to base of fourth toe, and rather low on sides of body. No external tail. Species examined.—Kiodotus minimus (Geoffroy) and K. lago- chilus (Matschie). Genus ODONTONYCTERIS Pio. 10.—Kiodotus lagochilus. Adult female. Philippine Islands. No. 123440. x H. 1902. Odontonycteris Jentink, No. 3 (July, 1901), p. 140. Notes from the Leyden Museum, XXIII, July 15, 1902. Type-species.—Odontonycteris meyeri Jentink. Geographic distribution.—Known only ~from two small islands south of the Philippines, Great Sangir and Cagayan Sulu. Number of forms.—Only the type-species is known. Characters.—Like Kiodo
