 24. My Otis lucifugus (Le Conte). 



LITTLE BROWN BAT. 



This bat, which lias been considered abundant is represented by only 

 three specimens, so that its true status is in doubt. W. L. Halin reports it to 

 be the most common species in Lawrence County, although he agrees with 

 the writei' that Pipistrellvfi suhflams occupies that position in INIonroe 

 County. 



Tniitt's Cave, April 12, 1903. Mayfield's Cave, March 27, 190:'!. 



25. Pipistrellus subflavus (F. Cuvier). 



GKORGIAN BAT. 



The material now at hand indicates this species to be the abundant bat 

 of the region. The following specimens are before me :• from Mayfield's 

 Cave, three, March 13, U)03 ; two, March 27, 1903; four, September 30, 

 1903, and three, October 3, 1903. From Tniitt's Cave, one, April J2, 1903, 

 four undated skins. 



Since the Georgian bat has been captured so often in caves, it is probable 

 that the statements made concerning the frequency of bats in these places 

 apply in the main to it. Bats are sometimes found in great masses in the 

 caves in winter but occur there in some numbers at all times of the year. 

 Certain parts of the caves must have been used for long periods to account 

 for the large quantities of bat guano found in some of them, notably Coon's 

 andEller's, as described by Professor Hlati'hley. 



26. Vespertilio fuscus (Beauvois). 



BROWN BAT. 



Not rare. Has been seen in Mayfield's Cave fiom December until March. 

 Bloomington, October, 1902. 



Following is a list of mammals which have not yet been collected, but 

 whose occurence in Monroe County is probable: Cooper's Lemming Mouse 

 {Si/7iaptomys cooperi) which has been taken in Brown County, Jumping 

 Mouse {Znpus hudsonius), Gray Fox {Uroryon cinereoargevteus) , Northern 

 Masked Shrew {Sorex peisonatus) and Silvery Bat {Lasionyderis nocliva- 

 gann). 



reptilp:s. 



The nomenclature of this part of the list is that of Dr. E. D. 

 Cope's report on " The Crocodilians, Lizards and Snakes of 

 North America" (Ann. Rep. Smiths. Inst. (1898) 1900) for 

 the snakes and lizards, and that of Dr. 0. P. Hay's " Batra- 

 ehians and Reptiles of Indiana " (17th Ann. Rep. Dept. Geol. 

 (1891) 1892) for the turtles.
