Dear S IR, bbl Gelhey, Jan. zi. — pj. 



I Know not whether I ever mention'd to you (tho* 

 you have probably frequently obferv'd it your 

 fclf ) in what Manner the Bats are lodged in the Caves 

 during Winter. The Caves of this Countrey (to men- 

 tion that by the By) are always (I fpeak of the In- 

 land Caves) in Lime-ftone \ and in fuch Places only 

 are all our Subterraneous Brooks^ which in Wales are 

 no great Rarity. In thefe Caves the Bats chufe the 

 drieft Apartments, where planting their Talons to the 

 Roof, they cover their Bodies with their Wings j and 

 fo hanging perpendicularly in great Numbers, ( but 

 fo as they touch not each other) they fleep for fome 

 Months. 



Sir
