110 Dr. Such's Descriptions of new Brazilian Birds. 



Vespertilio Hipposideros. Bechstein. 

 Vespertilio minutus. Montague, — Linn. Trans, ix. 163. 

 Devonshire. Montague. 



There are two other species described as British which are not 

 in the British collection of the Museum. 



Vespertilio emarginatus. Geoff. — Desm. Mam. n. ^10; which 

 was discovered by M. Alexander Brongniart at Dover, and which 

 Dr. Fleming also states he has found in Fifeshire. 



Colonel Montague, and Dr. Fleming, most probably from him, 

 have included Vespertilio Barbastellus. Linn. (Desm. Mam. 

 n. 224.) among the native Bats of Great Britain j but the speci- 

 men at present in the Museum, which was in Colonel Montague's 

 collection under that name, is F. mystacinus of Leister, and is 

 exceedingly different from V. Barbastellus^ so that it is doubtful 

 whether that species is a native of these islands. Dr. Kuhl in 

 his Work on the Bats of Holland observes that it is rare in that 

 country. 



This list enumerates nearly twice as many species as have been 

 hitherto considered as British : but most probably when more 

 attention has been paid to the subject many more may be dis- 

 covered, as there are six or seven distinct species, besides what 

 are here enumerated, which are found in Holland, and other 

 neighbouring parts of the continent.

 Brazilian Birds. By George Such, M.D. F.L.S. 



[To the Conductors of the Zoological Journal.] 



Gentlemen, 

 Business of importance having occurred to call me away from 

 this country at an earlier period than I had anticipated, when I 

 addressed the former observations to you on Brazilian Ornitho- 

 logy to which you were so kind as to give a place in your Journal, 

 I have been prevented from continuing those observations to as
