4^ ^he Irish Naturalist. [Feb., 



Co. Fp:rmanagh — Mr. Barrington found a colony in the roof of a 

 boat-house at Crum Castle in June, 1882 {Zoologist, 1883, p. 116). Mr. C. 

 J. Patten has in his collection a specimen taken at Derrylin in 1887. A 

 specimen taken in a room in Bohoe Rectory was sent to me in July, 1895. 



Co. Cavan. — While I was in Cavan with the Field Clubs in July, 1896, 

 Mr. S. Jones brought me a specimen,, which he had picked up dead in 

 the town of Cavan. Since then I have received specimens from Killa- 

 shandra. 



Co. Louth. — I have shot this species at Killencoole and Braganstown, 

 at both of which places it is very plentiful. 



Co. Dubinin.— Glasnevin, July, 1874 (J. D. OgxVay, Zoologist^ 1874, p. 4236) ; 

 there are specimens in the Dublin Museum labelled " Dublin," " Finglas," 

 and *♦ Dunsink " ; a specimen was shot at Carrickmines by Mr. E. C. 

 Barrington {Zoologist, 1893, p. 427) ; I have received a specimen from 

 Blackrock (Miss E. J. Kelsall), and have observed it on the wing in the 

 same locality. 



Co. WiCKi^ow. — Fassaroe, Bray (Barrington, Zoologist, 1875, p. 4532) ; 

 Mr. Barrington has met with this species more than once since, and I 

 have seen it on the wing at Fassaroe. 



Co. Kii,DARE. — Specimen shot at Levitstown by Mr. F. Haughton in 

 June, 1874. 



Co. GaIvWAY. — Hon. R. B. Dillon tells me he is familiar with a large 

 bat at Clonbrock, but a specimen he sent me unfortunately never reached 

 me ; and as we have so far no certain West of Ireland records of V. Leisleri^ 

 we must wait for specimens before assuming that this species occurs 

 there. 



With regard to the reported occurrence of V. 7ioctula in 



Ireland, and certain questions relating to V. Leisleri which 



are raised thereby, I hope shortly to publish another paper. 



Bats at I^ighthouse^s. 



The following records from the Irish I^ight-stations, as 

 reported by Mr. Barrington's correspondents in the ** Migra- 

 tion" schedules, have been supplied to me by Mr. Barrington: — 



1884. Rockabill Lighthouse (5 miles off Dublin Coast) :" July 14th— 

 Bats about light all night ; wind light, S.W." This is the first entry of 

 " bats" Mr. Barrington received from his correspondents. 



1886. Fastnet Lighthouse (8 miles from coast of Cork) : " October 3rd 

 one bat seen, sleeps in cleft on rock." 



1889. Arranmore : see under Plecotus auritus. 



1891. Lucifer Shoals Lightship (9 miles off Wexford coast) : ** April 

 2ist — Bat caught at 7.30 p.m., flying low about ship, striking man on 

 watch; it died next day. Wind N.E., moderate; weather clear." This 

 specimen was sent to Mr. Barrington and proved to be V. Daubcntonii. 



Blackrock, Mayo (lighthouse, 9 miles off shore): "August i8th one 



bat about rock at night."
