THE BARBASTELLE. _ 295 patron's cheek, ami take the fly with great gentleness from the mouth ; and so far was this familiarity carried, that when either of the young people made a humming noise with the mouth, in imitation of an insect, the Bat would search about the lips for the promised dainty." From an observation made by Mr. Tomes (Bell's " British Quadi-upeds, " second edition, p. 76), it would appear that the Long-eared Bat, even in freedom, habitually captures at least some of its food in a somewhat similar manner. He says that " having occasion to rise early—about three in the morning—on opening the window of his bedroom, a Bat of this species was seen actively engaged around the sprigs of a spindle ttee which extended across the window. It was in bloom at the time, and' was surrounded by a cloud of Microlepidoptera, on which the Bat was feeding. As this took place scarcely four feet from the open window it was easy to see the whole proceeding, and to determine with certainty the manner in which the food was taken. With scarcely an exception, the moths were picked from the leaves while resting there, only one or two being taken on the wing. While thus occupied the Bat hovered much after the manner of the Kestrel, and the ears were bent outwards so much as to curl down the sides of the face, appearing more like two large cheek-pouches than ears, no part of them appearing of greater elevation than the crown of the head." On the ground the progression of the Long-eared Bat is very peculiar. Bats in general run along the ground with the head and body in a nearly horizontal po.sition, but the Long-eared Bat carries the fore part of its body raised, and advances by a series of jerks, first on one side and then on the other. Several species nearly related to the Long-eared Bat have been described under various generic names. Antrozous paUidus is an inhabitant of North America, Histio
