2. Contribution to a Knowledge of the South-Italian 
Chiroptera. By Fr. 8. Monricexur, D.Sc. (Commu- 
nicated by Dr. H. Woopwarp, F.R.S., F.G.S.) 
[Received January 5, 1886.] 
Bonaparte’ was the first naturalist who wrote upon Italian 
Chiroptera; but his researches are tvo general, and there are 
no indications of southern localities contained in his work. 
Later on, Prof. C. G. Costa gave in 1839* a catalogue of 
1 «Teonografia della Fauna Italica’: Roma, 1832-41. 
* *Flenco dei Mammiferi e Supplemento.’ (Fauna del Regno di Napoli.)
