Map showing approximate range of the Rafinesque Bat (Nycticeius humeralis) in the United 
tates, 
Corynorhinus macrotis (LECoNnTE), BI1G-EARED Bat. The Big-eared 
Bat has not been recorded from within our limits, but it is not unlikely 
that it occurs in Illinois and it should be carefully looked for in the 
caves along the Wabash River in Hardin and Polk counties in the 
extreme southeastern portion of the state. In Indiana it has been 
recorded from Greencastle, Putnam Co.;* and Mitchell, Lawrence 
Co.;f and Hahn states he saw six individuals in the caves at the latter 
place during the winter of 1906-07 and secured two specimens. 
The species may readily be distinguished from our other Bats by 
its huge ears which measure an inch or more in length. The gen-
