THE ZOOLOGIST.

of V. nattereri appears to be the presence of hairs upon the feet, a point overlooked by Bell (1874), though pointed out by Lord Clermont in 1859. Some of the young in the "bunch" above referred to were more downy than hairy above, especially about the face.

Natterer's Bat, which is of somewhat local occurrence in our own country, is found distributed through Europe as far as its easternmost confines, but does not appear to range beyond Southern Sweden in the north, or beyond the Alps in the south.
