Remarks. This bat, which should be carefully searched for by 
collectors in southern Florida, may be at once recognized by its 
large size (head and body about 70; forearm about 65), rudimen¬ 
tary tail, broad short muzzle terminated by a conspicuous “ nose 
leaf,” and absence of W-shaped molar cusps. Its single occurrence 
in Florida is thus recorded by Mr. C. J. Maynard: “ While at Key 
West in the early winter of 1870, I observed several large bats 
flying about the city, which closety resembled in flight a species . 
which I had seen in northern Florida two years before, but which 
flew so high that I was unable to shoot them. I was very anxious 
to obtain a specimen, but as shooting was prohibited in the streets 
of the city of Key West, and as I never saw the bats elsewhere on 
the island, I feared that I should be obliged to go away without one. 
I was, therefore, agreeably surprised one morning to see a boy enter 
my room with a bat in his hand which, from its large size, I knew 
could be no other than the species which I had so long desired to 
obtain. He said, that he had found it hanging upon the leaf of a 
tree, and had killed it with a piece of limestone.” This specimen 
has been lost, but a drawing made by Mr. Maynard enabled the 
late Dr. Harrison Allen to identify the species. 
While this is at present the only record of Artibeus perspicillatus 
in the United States, the bat may be looked for anywhere in or 
near the Tropical Zone.
