There is nothing remarkable or peculiar in the habits of 
our bats: they seem to be very generally dispersed over the 
island. 
Ord. CARNIVORA. 
IT am not aware of any account having been published of 
the different species of Seal which inhabit our coasts and 
the islands in Bass’s Strait, although I am informed that 
three distinct species exist. The Arctocephalus cinereus 
( Otaria cinerea, PERON) is one; but I cannot satisfactorily 
trace the others, and so omit them from this list. I have 
not observed in any work to which I have access that speci- 
mens from this island have been sent to Europe. 
Ord, CETACEA. 
Of the Cetacee inhabiting the seas in the neighbourhood 
of this island but little seems to be known by naturalists.
