WEST VIKGINIA. MAMMALS — KELLOGG 449 



MYOTIS SODAUS Miller and Allen 



Indiana Bat 



One individual weighing 7 grams was taken by A. B. Brooks on 

 March 16, 1928. 



Monongalia County: Cave near Morgantown, 1. 

 Preston County: Cheat River, 1. 



LASIONVCTERIS NOCTIVAGANS (LeConte) 



Silver-haired Bat 



Surber (1909, p. 55) Hsts this bat from West Virginia but cites no 

 definite records. He remarks that it is more partial to the forests 

 than the other species. 



PIPISTKELLUS SUBFLAVUS SUBFLAVUS (F. Cuvier) 



Georgian Bat 



Further collecting in the caves of West Virginia will probably show 

 that this small bat occurs throughout the State. A male taken by 

 Vernon Bailey on November 1, 1924, at Charleston weighed 3.7 

 grams. A. M. Reese (1934, pp. 45, 47, 50, 51, 53) reports that he 

 has collected Georgian bats in Cornwall's Cave in Preston County; 

 The Sinks Cave no. 1 in Randolph County; Smoke Hole Cave in 

 Pendleton County; Rapp's, Bunger's, and Saltpeter Cave no. 1 in 

 Greenbrier County; and in Green Saltpeter, Argobrite's, and Union 

 Caves in Monroe County. 



Kanawha County: Charleston, 1. 

 Pendleton County: Franklin, 6. 



NYCTEMS CTNEREA (B«>auvoi8) 



Hoary Bat 



A. B. Brooks (1929, p. 541) writes that this bat "is reported as 

 occurring in West Virginia", but he cites no definite records. Surber 

 (1909, p. 55) likewise lists it as a rare migrant. 



NYCTERIS BOREAUS BOREAUS (MUlIer) 



Red Bat 



Although the available records for the red bat are all from the 

 eastern and southern counties, this animal should occur throughout 

 the State. During the summer months at least this bat is not gre- 

 garious, and during the daylight hours it is often found suspended 

 from a lower branch of some small tree or shrub. 



Pendleton County: Franklin, 1. 



Raleigh County: Near head of Sand Lick Creek, 1. 



Wyoming Covinty: Near Baileysville, 1.
