wing again, by rising with great ease from the floor ; but White saw a Bat run, with more dispatch than he was aware of, though in a most ridiculous and grotesque manner. The adroitness with which this Bat sheared off the wings of flies, which were always rejected, was very amusing.

Mr. George Daniell describes a female Bat, who took her food with an action similar to that of a dog.
