caves and old workings in that district. Of its flight, except in 
aroom, I know nothing 
i Mr. Roebuck semaine that the credit of adding this species to 
the Yorkshire list belongs to Mr. James Ingleby of Eavestone, 
who discovered it near Eavestone, Ripon, as far back as 1875 if 
not earlier, and to Mr. H. Laver of Colchester, who identified 
the species for him. Mr. Laver sent Mr. Roebuck specimens 
about March 1882, which enabled him to record it as an addition 
in ‘The Naturalist’ for May 1882, p. 166. Since then Mr. Ingleby 
_ and Mr. W. Storey have found it in various caves in Nidderdale, 
_ Washburndale and the Ripon District. 
Fae I have to thank my friend, Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, who was 
: a much earlier worker in this field than myself, for various notes 
which I have been able to incorporate in this paper. 
In conclusion, I would ask readers of ‘The Naturalist,’ if 
they come across any varieties, or the young of any species, if 
_ they would most kindly send them on to me. Bats travel badly, 
and soon begin to decompose, so that I should infinitely prefer 
them alive if possible ; if dead, they will keep much better if a 
slight incision be made in the abdomen, the entrails extracted, 
and a plug of cotton wool soaked in spirit, whisky will do, 
inserted therein. I shall be happy at any time to identify any 
Specimens about which their owners may be in doubt; and I think 
we ought to still further add to our county list of Cheiroptera.
