Of the peculiar habits of this Bat nothing is 

 known. Its dentition is stated to be ^, | ; , f=^- 

 In its general appearance, it approaches nearly to 

 V. pipistrelluS) from which it differs, however, in 

 having the tragus more slender, that part being in 

 fact narrower than in any British Bat, and in the 

 proportions of the parts, as may be seen on compar- 

 ing the descriptions. Unquestionably the two 

 species belong to the same genus, but having adopted 

 Mr Gray's arrangement, I shall adhere to it.
