NOTES ON CORNISH MAMMALS. 411 
The Long-eared Bat (Plecotus auritus, L.) is common and 
generally distributed throughout the county, except among the 
higher-lying villages towards the north coast and around the 
Bodmin Moors. It is apparently absent, for example, from 
Cardynham, Camelford, and St. Cleer. In the summer and 
early autumn of 1905 it was the commonest Bat at Millook, 
and was evidently plentiful at Crackington Haven and at Bos- 
castle. A young female was captured by HE. T. Price at Hugh 
Town, St. Mary’s, in April, 1904, the only record up to the 
present for the Isles of Scilly. The Barbastelle (Barbastella 
barbastellus, Schreb.) was obtained by Cocks from a cave to 
the west of Maenporth, near Falmouth, over sixty years ago, 
and in Baily’s collection there was a specimen captured by a 
fisherman between Black Head and the Lizard in September, 
1895. An example was reported to have been obtained at New- 
quay about 1886, and to have been sent subsequently to the 
Museum at Launceston. The writer, however, has not been 
able to obtain any trace of it there, and the occurrence of this 
species on the north coast seems unlikely. Dobson, in his 
‘ British Museum Catalogue,’ records an example of the Serotine 
(Vespertilto serotinus, Schreb.) from Tintagel. In August, 1902, 
W. Thomas sent in a female obtained between Mawgan and 
St. Columb. The specimen was exceptionally rich in its colour- 
ing—a deep warm chestnut above and a smoky yellow below. In 
May, 1906, R. V. Tellam obtained an undersized, probably im- 
mature, male near Lostwithiel. The Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus 
pipistrellus, Schreb.) is very common and generally distributed. 
It has been seen on the wing at Truro in every month of the 
year, and on Jan. 9th, 1904, several were flying about at noon 
in the gardens at Tresco Abbey, in the Isles of Scilly. Two 
specimens of Natterer’s Bat (Myotis natterert, Kuhl) were ob- 
tained by Couch from Looe in 1852. It does not seem to have 
been noted in the county again till the autumn of 1900, when a 
Bat “‘ quite white below” was reported from the Lizard, and in 
September, 1902, a female was sent in from that district. 
Daubenton’s Bat (M. daubentoni, Leisl.) was recorded by Couch 
from Looe, and by Cocks and Bullmore from Falmouth. In 
1900 M. H. Williams, of Pencalenick, Truro, sent in a specimen 
for identification that had been killed quite close to the house,
