Kennicott found this bat at Cairo, in the extreme southern part of this state, and it was reported from Wisconsin by Strong, but not by later observers so far as I know. If it occurs in the northern part of Illinois it must usually be rare. Either the species is often overlooked or its distribution is very uneven over the most of its range. It is one of the species found in caves. BROWN BAT. Eptesicus inclanops^ Rafinesque. (Annals of Nature, 1820, p. 2.) Vcspcrtilio fiiscus Beauv., Cat. Peale's Mus. Phil., 1796, p. 14.
