This and certain other Bats are the only mammals in Amer- range ica that range from the Atlantic to Pacific in a belt i,ooo miles wide, without splitting up into several races. Obviously, their wonderful powers of flight combine with wandering habits to keep the population thoroughly mixed. All of Manitoba falls within its breeding range; the spots on the map show the actual records. "Like many other Bats, it has a envi- decided liking for water-ways, coursing ment up and down streams and rivers, and circling around lakes and ponds. In some places its habit of keeping directly over the water is very marked. At Lyon's Falls [on Black River, N. Y.] it is exceedingly abun- dant, particularly just below the Falls. I have stood, gun in hand, on a point on the east bank of the river, and have seen hundreds passing and repassing, flying over the water, while during the entire evening not more than two or three strayed so far that if shot they would fall on the ;' Over the Red River where it runs through Winnipeg City is a favourite flying place for this Bat. All the summer long, in the evenings, they may be observed hawking for their prey in this inviting open place. At Calgary, I was told by G. F. Dippie, it is abundant.
