ecord for the county was
obtained in 1902 at Ann Arbor. In February, 1904, one was found in a
barn three miles east of Ann Arbor. At Portage Lake, in 1916, a house
cat brought two individuals to her kittens on October 29 and 31,
respectively. The specimens taken by me were found in grassy places,
usually where briers and shrubs were intermingled with the grass, but
not in the woods.
_Myotis lucifugus lucifugus._ Little Brown Bat.--Almost every winter
individuals have been found in the building of the Museum of Zoology, at
Ann Arbor, where they have been awakened by the heat long before insects
were flying about. Max Peet took one at Ypsilanti June 6, 1904.
_Myotis subulatus subulatus._ Say Bat.--In 1902 one was found alive in
one of the buildings of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and was
kept in a cage from February 26 to March 6, when it died.
_Lasionycteris noctivagans._ Silver-haired Bat.--A female which seemed
to have an injured wing was picked up at Ann Arbor by A. G. Ruthven,
June 13, 1910. It contained two large embryos. This species is rare in
this county.
_Eptesicus fuscus fuscus._ Large Brown Bat.--Common at Ann Arbor and
Ypsilanti. It is often found in buildings in winter. We have records for
Ann Arbor every month except September, October, and November. Of all
the bats this one is the most common about dwellings, and it is the one
that most often enters houses at night in search of insects. Perhaps it
is attracted by the light, as I have often seen it feeding about the
street lights.
_Nycteris borealis borealis._ Red Bat.--Common at Ann Arbor, and there
is one record for Ypsilanti. At Ann Arbor there are records from April
30, in 1919, to July 4, in 1921. Also one was taken in November, 1917.
On June 12, 1903, a female with two young attached to the underside was
found hanging in a tree in Ann Arbor. The young were naked and blind and
quite small. June 10, 1908, another female was found in a similar
situation with three half-grown young attached.
_Nycteris cinerea._ Hoary Bat.--We have records for Ann Arbor,
Bridgewater Township, Manchester, and Portage Lake. Our dates run from
September 5 to October 15; but in December, 1891, one was found in a
barn and was kept alive for several weeks.
_Ursus americanus._ Black Bear.--Formerly common, and one of the last of
the larger animals of the county to be exterminated. The last one known
to be in the county was killed in October, 1875, in the
