Round the Country-side
3—' Something about Bats'
RICHARD MORSE
Although a dozen or more different kinds of bats have been recorded in various parts of this country, comparatively little is known of their ways and habits of life. This is, of course. due largely to the fact that bats fly chiefly in dusk and darkness, and are therefore hard to observe.
But the bats are a peculiarly interesting group of animals, and their mastery of the air is, in some ways, even greater than that of the birds. In his talk this afternoon Mr. Richard Morse will deal with the structure and habits of some of the commoner British species, and will describe a few simple methods of investigating their twilight activities.
The .interest of the talk will be enhanced if teachers can provide illustrations of at least one or two species, such as the pipistrelle, the long-eared bat, and the great bat, or noctule.
