VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.— The ( Vertebrate Section will be officially 
represented by Mr. A. Whitaker. 
Mammalia. — Mr. A. Whitaker records the following species : Long-eared Bat, 
Noctule, Pipistrelle, Daubenton's and Natterer's or Reddish-grey Bat, all in 
the area to be worked, and probably the Hairy-armed or Leisler's, and Whiskered 
Bats also, as both are found in the near neighbourhood. The Hedge-hog, Mole, 
Common Shrew, Fox, Stoat, Weasel, Squirrel, Common Mouse, Brown Rat, 
Common Field-vole, Bank-vole, Water-vole, Common Hare, and Rabbit, are all 
fairly plentiful in suitable haunts. The Water Shrew, Otter, Wood Mouse, and 
Harvest Mouse occur, but are much more rarely met with. There are no recent 
records of the Pine-Marten (last taken at Cawthorne in 1878), Polecat, or Wild Cat, 
all formerly to be found, but now probably extinct. It is not impossible that the 
Badger may be again discovered in the district.
