A CORNISH FAHNA. 
especially on the Devonshire border. At Falmouth Mr. Cocks 
says “ not uncommon.” With the exception of V. Murinus it 
is our largest British species. 
Pipistrelle. — Seotophilus pipisfrellus. 
Jenyns, p 24 ; Bell, p 23, 2nd edition, p 34 ; Blasiua, p 61 ; Clermont, p 15. 
“ This is our commonest species, and flies at all seasons of the 
year if the thermometer be not much below 50°. It awakes in 
a few hours after the weather has become mild,, and is not un- 
commonly seen abroad in the middle of a fine day.” The V. 
pygnums of Leach, (Bell, 1st ed., ji. 31) is the young or a small 
individual of this species. Some references by Mr. Couch on 
the flight of this species in the day-time, are recorded in the 
Zoologist, 1843, p. 343 ; and in the same periodical, 1853 and 
1854, pp. 3936 and 4157, will be found some interesting obser- 
vations by him on the habits of some species of bats. 
Eeddish-grey Bat. — VespertiKo Nattereri. 
Jenyns, p 23 ; Bell, p 42, 2nd ed., p 54 ; Blasius, p 88 ; Clermont, p 10. 
Two individuals of this species were obtained by Mr. Couch, 
from Looe, in Sept., 1852, Zool., 1853, p. 3937. I can find no 
other instances of the occurrence of this bat in either the penin- 
sula or channel province. 
Dahbenton’s Bat. — Vegpertilio Baubentonii. 
Jenyns, p 26 ; Bell, pp 45, 47, 2nd ed., p 60 ; Blasius, p 98 ; Clermont, p 20. 
Mentioned by Mr. Conchas Vespertilio emarginatus, Zool. , 1853 
p. 3942, and Zool., 1854, p. 4157, but without giving the date 
of capture or the locality. The specimen weighed 79 grains and 
the extent of its wings was 10^ ins., a greater expanse than the 
measurement given by Bell and others. Dr. Bullmore gives 
three instances of its occurrence in and near Falmouth, and Mr. 
Cocks says “not uncommon ” in the same neighbourhood. 
Long-eared ^A.T.~Pleeotus auritus. 
Jenyns, p 27 ; Bell, p 53, 2nd ed., p 72 ; Blasius, p 39 ; Clermont, p 33. 
Common in most places. 
Barbastelle.— Baubentonii. 
Jenyns, p 28 ; Bell, p 63, 2nd ed., p 72; Blasius, p 43 ; Clermont, p 35.

has been taken in the adjoining county.
