Hall (1981) presumably based his distribution on the single specimen record from Bear Island in northern Hudson Bay. This local- ity is considerably north of the known range and probably represents an accidental occurrence (Hitch- cock 1943; Banfield 1974). Discussion Additional research is required to determine if the bats reported herein represent stray migrants or per- manent summer residents in the James Bay region. Red, Hoary, and Silver-haired bats do not overwinter in Ontario or Quebec and they migrate south to the United States (Peterson 1966). Because all specimens of these species were taken in August and September when they begin autumn migrations (Peterson 1966; Barbour and Davis 1969), the James Bay records could represent migrants that strayed north of their summer range. Red, Hoary, and Silver-haired bats have not been collected from this region in June or July when females would be expected to be nursing young and, therefore, it is unknown if their maternity ranges extend as far north as James Bay. Similarly, the few collecting dates for the Little Brown Myotis and Eastern Long-eared Bat make it impossible to verify that these species reside in the.
