far as my observations have extended. Professor Baird has taken the 
typical animal at Elizabethtown, and the form known as ducifugus at 
Westport ” (’84,p.96). Fisher: ‘“ Out of the hundreds of bats collected 
only one of this species was ever secured”’ (’96, p. 195). Miller: “The 
species is recorded from Adirondacks, Big moose lake, Catskill moun- 
tains, Howe's cave, Lake George, Locust grove, Lyons falls, Oneida 
lake, Peterboro, Sing Sing and West point” (’97, p. 62). Mearns: “ This 
was the commonest bat in the Catskills and seen nightly” (?98b, 
P- 357): : | 
I have found the little brown bat excessively abundant near the south- 
east shore of Oneida lake. Here it occurred in large colonies between 
rafters in barns and under the roofs and loose clapboards of old houses. 
At Peterboro the animal though less numerous than at Oneida lake, is 
common. 
Mr Savage has taken a small brown bat, in a cave in the Niagara river 
gorge near the Devil’s hole, which with some doubt he refers to this — 
species.

Type locality. Arkansas river, near La Junta, Colorado. 
Faunal position. Too little is known of the range of this bat to per- 
mit the species to be assigned any definite faunal position. At present it 
is known to occur in the boreal, transition and upper austral zones. 
Habitat. Probably similar to the little brown bat. 
Distribution in New York. Say’s bat probably occurs throughout the 
state but the details of its distribution are unknown. 
Principal records. De Kay: (The account given by De Kay doubtless 
refers in part to this species) H.Allen: Specimen recorded from 
Elizabethtown, Essex co. (’64, p. 53). This is the first definite New
