At our Boulder Lake camp, three or four bats were seen at 

 dusk diving about in the air, and Mr. Akeley succeeded one even- 

 ing in shooting two, only one of which he secured. It proved to 

 be the subspecies described by Miller (1. c.). Quite a small bat 

 with glossy dark fur, yellowish-brown for the most part, but 

 appearing black in some lights. On the Elwah River, near a 

 place called the Devil's Elbow, was a colony of bats inhabiting 

 a large hole or small cave in the rock. Unfortunately we did 

 not secure any of them, so I cannot say if they were the same as 

 the present subspecies. With the exception of these two locali- 

 ties we did not meet with any of these animals.
