species at Freshwater, and I relied altogether upon his identification, 

 knowing how very careful and accurate he was : but, some years after- 

 wards, he wrote that the large Bat which he had found at Freshwater 

 was the Noctule, V. noctula, and not V. murinus. I remember, also, 

 that the same mistake was communicated to the Linnean Society by 

 the late Prof. Thomas Bell, to whom I had mentioned it. Another Bat, 

 given as Daubenton's Bat in Venables' Guide, Mr. Bond told me proved 

 to be V. mystacinus. Both errors were set right by myself in the list of 

 Isle of Wight Quadrupeds given in Jenkinson's ' Practical Guide to the 

 Isle of Wight ' (1876), and I am only sorry that I did not make the cor- 

 rection more generally known, since it concerns such a very dubiously 

 British species.
