 The only definite locality known for this species for many years was 

 that of the type, Straits of Magellan. In 1892, Lataste (/. c.) states that 

 the missionary Doria had informed him that he had a specimen taken at 

 Santa Cruz, Patagonia, and also records a specimen which he had him- 

 self examined, captured January 20, 1892, at the hacienda de San Igna- 

 cio de Peruchue, in the Province of Bio-Bio, Chili. The Santa Cruz 

 record perhaps requires confirmation.

Burmeister states, under his AtalapJia bonaerensis [I. c), that he had 



received this species from Carmen, Patagonia, near the mouth of the Rio 



Negro — the most southern record I am able to trace for any form of 



Lasinrus. 



Note on Vespertilio villosissimns Geoffroy. 



Burmeister gives two species of Atalapha ( = Lasiurus) as found in 

 Paraguay and Argentina — one, his Atalapha villosissima, as occurring
