BANGS: LAND MAMMALS OF FLORIDA AND GEORGIA. 213 
General remarks. This beautifully colored island form, appar¬ 
ently confined to Anastasia Island, was abundant there; its runs 
extend in all directions over the barren sand hills and through the 
salt flats, that were formerly lagoons. I had three mole traps with 
me, with which I worked persistently for a week, but with rather 
poor success, taking only five moles. The very delicate nature of 
the runs formed in the light sand, and the ease with which new ones 
could be made, worked against successful trapping. 
Among the five specimens I was fortunate enough to get three in 
fine fresh pelage, just completed or nearly complete, and two in 
worn pelage, with the new hairs appearing in spots. The two in worn 
pelage are females with nursing young. 
8. anastasae is very differently colored from 8. aquations australis , 
with which it agrees in size, but from which it differs in its heavy, 
short skull. The hands of /S y anastasae are large, and the nails long 
and strong, averaging considerably larger than those of 8. australis. 
At Matanzas Point, just across the Inlet from Anastasia Island, I 
took three examples of 8calops aquations australis.

[At Mr. Bangs’s request I have prepared the following notes on 
the Chiroptera of Florida and southern Georgia for insertion in his 
paper. As all but two of the twelve forms now known to occur in 
this region are members of the family Vespertilionidae, the matter 
here presented is essentially an extract from my recent revision of 
this group (N. Amer. fauna, no. 13). Most of the bats taken b} r 
Mr. Bangs’s collectors, and a few sent me from Old Town, Florida, 
by Mr. Arthur T. Wayne, are now for the first time recorded.
