bat (N'ycteris horcalis), but it is larger in size, having 

 a total length of five inches and a fore arm over two 

 inches long. 



Like the red bat, the hoary bat has the portion 

 of membrane between the hind legs covered with fur, 

 but the latter species has blackish bordered ears and 

 lacks the notch in the lower lobe of each ear. 



The color of the hoary bat varies considerably. 

 As a rule, it is a mixture of light yellowish brown, deep 

 umber-brown and white, the yellowish brown being 

 clear and unmixed on the throat, head and under side 

 of the membrane. The umber-brown predominates on 

 the back and on the interfemoral membrane; however, 

 the hairs are mostly tipped with white and frequently 

 the darker tints beneath are concealed. 



The lips, chin and cheeks are sprinkled with short 

 black hair. The underside is white and, between the 

 belly and throat, there is a band of light brown. The 

 hairs on the back are tri-colored, being plumbeous at 

 the base, light yellowish brown on the upper part and 

 ending with a tip of silvery white. The red and hoary 

 bats have four mammae and each species bears from 

 two to four young. 



The hoary bat does not, as a rule, retire to caves 

 during the day but hangs head downward from the 

 twigs of trees.
