Its identity with V. mystacinus of Leisler was first recog- 

 nised by the Kev. J. E. Kelsall, who mentioned it to

 specimen has been kindly submitted by my friend Mr W. E. 

 Hoyle, curator of the Owens College Museum. My best 

 thanks are due to Mr Hardy for the privilege of being 

 allowed to record these particulars for the first time. This, 

 then, is another Bat which we may reasonably hope to 

 discover in the district.]
