Allen — Notef^ on Bahama Bats. 71 



As witli some other species ineiitioned, uiaiiy of these hats wlieii al rest 

 t-Uiiig hy one foot only. They are of a (inai relsonie disposition and hite 

 vigorously when handled. Tlieir bickerings were audible even before we 

 readied the mouth of their cave and it is evident that the colony, though 

 resting, is nnich awake even in the daylight hours. A number of them 

 were tband to have one or both ears truncated near the tip in so regular 

 a fashion as to make it seem that tliere were two types of ear-outline among 

 them. The occurrence of some individuals with only one clipped ear, 

 however, might indii'ate that this shape is due to accidental loss of the 

 point of that organ through its having been bitten off by one of the quar- 

 relsome company. 



Sjn'ciuieus. — 12 adult and 2 young males (skins) ; 3 adult females (skins) ; 4 

 adult females and 7 males (alcoholic), 2 young females and 2 young males 

 (alcoholic).
