LOO7.) ps Liz: 
Type locality. Philadelphia, Pa. 
faunal position. ‘The breeding range of the hoary bat appears to be 
strictly confined to the boreal zone. 
_ Habitat. Forests and woodlands except during migrations when the 
animal may be found anywhere. 
Distribution in New York. So far as known this bat does not occur 
outside of the boreal area in the Adirondacks during the breeding season. 
Its migrations carry the animal far south of the boundaries of the state 
(Merriam, ’88, p. 85 ; Miller, ’97a, p. 542-43). 
Principal records. De Kay: (The hoary bat regarded as uncommon 
(42, p. 9). Merriam: “This species. . . is notrare in the Adirondacks, 
and I have taken it both in the interior and along the western border of 
the region ” (’84d, p. 78.) Fisher: ‘“‘ On the evening of October 1, 1883 
one of these beautiful bats was seen flying about a lawn, [at Sing Sing] 
where it was well identified” (’ 96, p. 196). 
Of this species in the vicinity of Buffalo Mr Savage writes, ‘The hoary 
bat also occurs but in what numbers I am unable to say. ‘There is a 
good specimen in the museum of the Buffalo society of natural sciences. 
“ Rare on Long Island. Has been taken in August, September and 
October” (Helme).
