The length of the fore arm of this species is about 1.3 m(a4 
mm.). The ear (Fig. 8) is rather long, extending just beyond the 
nostril when laid forward. The tragus is about half the length of 
the ear, with bluntly rounded tip. 
The color is a light yellowish brown below. On the upper parts 
this color is clouded with a darker brown. The individual hairs on 
the back are plumbeous at base, yellowish brown to near the tip, 
which is dark brown. There 
are also longer hairs which are 
clear yellowish brown to the 
\ Rie tip.

Fig. 8. Head and ear of Georgian bat. (Allen.) Species in the Laboratory 
collections are undoubtedly 
Illinois specimens, but are without locality data. Kennicott found 
this bat at Cairo, in the extreme southern part of this state, and it 
was reported from Wisconsin by Strong, but not by later observers 
so far as I know. If it occurs in the northern part of Illinois it 
must usually be rare. Either the species is often overlooked or 
its distribution is very uneven over the most of its range. It is one 
of the species found in caves.

This is one of our larger bats, the total length being about 4.4 
in. (110-112 mm.), and the length of the fore arm about 1.7 in. 
(43-46 mm.). The ears (Fig. 9) barely reach the nostril when laid 
forward. The basal third is furred on the outside, and there is a
