Ears large, with narrow acute tips projecting outwards; antitragus separated by an angular emargination from the outer margin of the ear; horseshoe well developed; horizontal margins of central nose-leaf triangular, small; erect portion rather short, with parallel sides and rounded summit meeting the connecting vertical process at the same level; this process is thick and long, its posterior portion is not connected with the posterior terminal leaf, but is received into an opening in its front surface; the posterior leaf is shortly triangular in outline, formed of very thick integument, and its surface is marked by a crucial aperture leading into a deep cavity lined with hairs; the lower part of this aperture receives the posterior extremity of the connecting nose-leaf (Plate VII. fig. 1). The surface of the terminal leaf is covered with rather long hairs, its inferior

surface is convex and rests on the forehead, which is naked in this situation. Chin marked with three small vertical grooves.
