GENERAL NOTES 
THE GEORGIAN BAT, PIPISTRELLES SUBFLAVUS, IN WISCONSIN 
Under the name Scotophilus georgianus, Pipistrellus suhflavus (F. Cuvier) 
was recorded from Wisconsin by Strong who merely listed it without exact lo- 
cality or date of capture (Geol. Wisconsin, Survey of 1873-1879, vol. 1, p. 438, 
1883). In view of the fact that Strong apparently treated in a like manner all 
the bats known from eastern and northern states without having local records, 
Hollister rightly considered this one not to be entitled to a place in the Wisconsin 
list (Bull. Wisconsin Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. 8, p. 31, 1910). It is of more than 
local interest to place on record a skin and skull (No. 229219, U. S. National 
Museum, Biological Survey collection) of an adult male of this species collected 
by the writer, August 29, 1918, at Devil’s Lake, in the Baraboo Range, Sauk 
County, Wisconsin. It was shot in the dusk of late evening as it was flying 
over a narrow road through heavy deciduous woods at the base of rugged and 
rocky hills.

IS THE JAGUAR ENTITLED TO A PLACE IN THE CALIFORNIA FAUNA? 
Several of the early voyagers who touched in California enumerate the jaguar 
{Felis onca) among the native mammals. Thus, in the early part of the last 
century Langsdorff mentions it as among the species occurring in the Monterey 
region {Voyage and Travels, II, 213, 1814). And Beechey, in describing the 
region between San Francisco and Monterey, under date of December, 1826, 
says: ‘‘The lion {felis concolor ?) and the tiger {felis onca ?) are natives of these 
woods, but we never saw them ; the inhabitants say they are small, and that the 
lion is less than the tiger, but more powerful.” {Beechey’s Narrative, Vol. 2,
