V. canina 2?c«i.=Pamila Vill, and includes flavicornis Sni. 
which is “ canina ” of many authors. 
The omission of authorities, in fact, renders any list of species 
entirely useless and leads to endless confusion. 
After a discussion, the division of the county, as suggested in 
Mr. Geldart’s paper, was adopted by the Society for botanical 
purposes, and the thanks of the meeting voted to Mr. Geldart for 
his paper.

STEAY YOTES ON NOEFOLK AND SUFFOLK 
J^IAMMALTA.

High-flying Bat {Vespertilio noctula.J This bat, so far as I 
have observed, always inhabits hollow trees rather than buildings. 
I have found it usually in old hollow ash. When the females 
have young, they form numerous colonies, in which, I believe, 
there are no males ; the females, if then disturbed, will fly out 
with their young ones clinging to them ; the males live at that 
season by themselves in much smaller communities. These bats, 
about half an hour before commencing their evening flight, keep 
up a continuous chirping, which may be heard by a person walking 
under the trees which they inhabit. It would be interesting to 
ascertain whether the sexes continue in separate comnumities 
throughout the year. 
Pipistrelle Bat {Vespertilio pipistrellus.) Gregarious by day 
in roofs of buildings, under leads, <^c., but never, so far as 1 know, 
in trees. It would be curious to ascertain whether the sexes in this 
bat also form separate communities. 
Long-eared Bat (Plecotus auritus.) I believe this bat also fre- 
(pients buildings, and occasionally hollow trees, but it is less gre- 
garious than the Pipistrelle.
