Excerpt from Bulletin: Of the United States National Museum; No; 43 Nearly thirty years have passed since the Monograph of the North American Bats* appeared as one of the series of miscellaneous publi cations of the Smithsonian Institution. Imperfect as it was, this me moir has remained the single work on the subject. The influence of Prof. S. F. Baird is discernible throughout, and it.

Novel standards of comparison have been employed and many anatomical details included in the introduction. The region occupied by the monograph (as in the original issue) is that of North America, extended to the south as far as the boundary line between the United States and Mexico.
