Mr. Montagu announces in the Lmridean 

 Transactions, that a female of this species was 

 killed in Devonshire the latter end of October, 

 in the year 1 805, which entitles it, with other 

 incidental visitants, to a place in the British 

 Zoology ; the notice is not attended by any de- 

 scription. Ed.
