 Scalops aquaticus (Linn). Ground Mole. 

 Common throughout the island. 



Condylura cristata {Linn.). Star-nosed Mole. 



DeKay gives the Star-nosed Mole as " abundant through- 

 out the state." The only evidence of the presence of this 

 species on Long Island that has come to my knowledge is that 

 of a half-grown specimen that I found lying dead in the street 

 at Miller Place. I have searched for it in various parts of the 

 island but have been unable to find any other evidence of 

 its presence, and I have been inclined to think that the one 

 mentioned may have been dropped by a hawk, that perhaps 

 brought it from the Connecticut mainland. 



Lasionycteris noctivagans (Le Conte). Silvery Bat. 



Some years this Bat is very plentiful especially in late 

 summer and early autumn, out-numbering even the Red Bat, 

 which is usually the most abundant species on Long Island. 

 For the past two or three years very few Silvery Bats have 

 been noticed. 



Vespertilio fuscus Beauvois. Brown Bat. 



Rare on Long Island. A smaller brown bat is of occa- 

 sional but rare occurrence but whether Myotis lucifugus or 

 subulatus I am unable to say. 



Lasiurus cinereus Beauvois. Hoary Bat. 

 A rather rare late summer and autumn visitor. 



Lasiurus borealis (Midler). Red Bat. 

 Very common. The most abundant Bat on Long Island.
