410 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
St. Clement’s, as that of Stephen Clogg, the well-known bird 
lover of Looe. Unfortunately it was literally dropping to pieces, 
and had to be destroyed. In May, 1901, one of the students in 
the Agricultural class at Liskeard killed an adult female in that 
neighbourhood; its head and body measured 2°25 in. in length, 
the tail 1:35 in., and the wings from tip to tip about 11 in. In 
December, 1906, J. Chiene Shepherd, of Newquay, found a male 
in one of the caves of Porth Island, which he nearly burned with 
his candle under the impression that it wasafungus. He kept it 
alive for several weeks, but it died during sleep, and was brought 
to the writer in an advanced stage of decomposition. Its head 
and body measured a little over 2 in. in length, and its tail 
13 in. On June 4th, 1907, a larger specimen with a tail 1°5 in. 
long was killed and mangled by some boys at Wheal Golden, a 
deserted mine on the top of the sea cliff near Penhale Point, to the 
west of Newquay. 
The Lesser Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus hipposiderus, Bechst.) 
is much commoner and apparently much more widely dis- 
tributed. During the last nine years it has been fairly plentiful 
in several of the deserted mine-shafts about Baldhu and St. 
Agnes, and in one of the less frequented caves at Porth, near 
Newquay. Occasional specimens have been discovered in the 
Cathedral Cavern there, and also in the Tea Caverns near the 
Headland, and in two of the caves in Hast Pentire. The Cam- 
borne mining students reported it from the North Cliffs, and in 
January of this year brought ina living voucher specimen. One 
of the clerks in the employment of the Eastern Telegraph Com- 
pany captured one at Guethenbras, near Tol-pedn-penwith, in 
November, 1906, and the late W. E. Baily reported it from 
Mousehole, near Penzance, in 1902. In 1905 it was plentiful 
round the old Manor House at Godolphin. It is not uncommon 
to the west of Swanpool, Falmouth, and has been found several 
times in the neighbourhood of Truro. In October, 1908, a male 
was captured.at Turbot Point, to the south of Mevagissey, and 
that same autumn the species was recorded by R. V. Tellam 
from Bodmin. It has been reported several times from Laun- 
ceston, and an example in the Museum there is marked ‘‘ local.” 
In 1901 C. Upton Tripp obtained a specimen for the writer from 
Altarnun.
