NOTES— MAMMALIA. 



Whale at Flamborough. — I have had a report of another Whale having 

 been seen by one of our fishermen not far from the place where the other one was 

 washed ashore. The fisherman informs me that this Whale is white or cream- 

 coloured, and much larger, with the dorsal fin in the same place as the other. 

 When seen, it was swimming about in a very wild sort of manner, perhaps in searcli 

 of the one washed ashore. — Matthew Bailey, Flamborough, April 3rd, 1888. 



Lincolnshire Bats. — Mr. J. W. Chandler, of Gosberton near Spalding, has 

 sent me a couple of Bats taken in Gosberton Church. They are the Long-eared 

 Bat [Plecotus anrifiis) and the PijMstrelle ( Vespenigo pipistrellits), and are small, 

 evidently young, specimens. — W. Denisox Rokisuck, Leeds, August 2ist, 188S. 



Water Shrew and Field Vole near Ripon. — I have received to day from 

 the Rev. R. A. Summerfield, vicar of North Stainley, near Ripon, a specimen of 

 the Water Shrew [Crosscpiis fcnliens) and one of the Common or Field ^'ole 

 {Arvicola agrestis), both out of a hay-field at North Stainley. The Vole is a fine 

 adult male, the largest example of the species that I have ever seen. The speci- 

 mens are now in the Edinburgh Museum. 1 record them because micro-mammals 

 are not very often examined in the flesh, and definite records of them are of interest.
