[.\ few species occur on both continents, one of which is figured in the great French work on Ejrypt, under thename Taphien filet.] The Taphiens {Taphozotts, Geof.)—Have also a small rounded indenture on the forehead; but their nostrils have no raistd lamina: thehead is pyramidal, and there are only two incisors above, very often none, and four tiilobate incisorsbelow; their ears arewidely separated, and [thetipof ] their tail free abovethe membrane.
