wards upon the leaf of a tree. Specimens captured are 

 not only smaller in size than those from the north, but are 

 much deeper in color; the fur, however, is generally tipped 

 with ash. 



15. ScoTOPHiLUS Fuscus H. Allen. Carolina Bat. — 

 Common throughout the northern sections, but more abun- 

 dant in the vicinity of settlements. 



I once captured a female specimen of this species which 

 was heavy with young, placed her in a cage and left her. 

 x\fter an absence of an hour or so I returned and found 

 that she had escaped, but had left a young one clinging to 

 the woodwork on the side. The little thing was entirely 

 naked, but was furnished with teeth, which it showed when 

 handled and endeavored to bite, squeaking after the man- 

 ner of all these animals. I replaced it in the cage, where 

 it remained until night, but in the morning it was gone and 

 I supposed that its mother had carried it away. 



16. ScoTOPHiLUS GEORaiANUs H. Allen. Georgia Bat. — 

 Two Bats which I have in my collection, that were shot 

 about ten miles south of Salt Lake, I think are of this 

 species. The specimens were taken in the evening and 

 w^ere flying about near a small pond in the piny woods.

 — Dr. Harrison Allen in his monograph of North American 

 Bats (p. 55) cites a specimen of this species which was col- 

 lected in Micanopy, Florida, by Dr. Bean.
