Fossil Cheiroptcra.

Curler described the skeleton of a species of bat allied to the Serotine, which was petrified and imbedded in a block of the Eocene Gypsum at Montmartre, Paris. Some fossil teeth resembling those of a Cheiropterous animal have been found in the Eocene Sand at Kyson near Woodbridge in Suffolk. More numerous remains of this family have been met with in England in the limestone caverns containing the fossil bones of extinct bears, hyaenas, and other animals. Professor Owen says of these remains that he has " failed to detect in the more complete skulls and skeletons from cave-localities any character by which they could be distinctly referred to unknown species of bats, or to such as do not now exist in England ; and after much pains bestowed on the leas complete and more abundant frag mentary and detached parts of the enduring framework of the Cheiroptera I have been seldom able-partly indeed from the still imperfect state of the osteology of this order-to arrive at any sound specific determinations." One of the most complete examples of the skeleton of a bat from a crevice of a bone-cave in the Mendip Hills Professor Owen refers to respertilio nodule. Romaine of a bat from the bone-cave called Kent's Hole, near Torquay, Devon, are preserved in the British Museum ; and from an examination of these Professor Owen concludes that they belong to the Rhinolophes ferrum-equinum, the Great Horseshoe-Bat, which in not now a native of these islands. Other Cheiropterous remains have been found in the bone-caves of the continent of Europe.
