Large Brown Bat. 
PLATE 42. 
Length 4.60 inches. Spread of wings 12 inches. Flight mem- 
branes naked, except the base of the interfemoral membrane. Fur 
silky; dark brown, rather lighter below. 
Probably the commonest species of bat in the State, frequently 
entering houses and probably the species so frequent about the 
electric lights, although the identification of bats on the wing 
is not an easy matter, nor is it much easier to secure them by 
means of a gun, for their erratic flight and the gathering gloom 
make them anything but easy targets.
