Overview

Excerpt from Bulletin: Of the United States National Museum; No; 43 Nearly thirty years have passed since the Monograph of the North American Bats* appeared as one of the series of miscellaneous publi cations of the Smithsonian Institution. Imperfect as it was, this me moir has remained the single work on the subject. The influence of Prof. S. F. Baird is discernible throughout, and it. Is proper to say that the opinions of species therein entertained were accepted by him. But the changes in systematic zoology make it desirable that a new essay be written. The monograph as it now appears is essentially new. It is not only larger by reason of the addition of species, but the descriptions are elaborated. Novel standards of comparison have been employed and many anatomical details included in the introduction. The region occupied by the monograph (as in the original issue) is that of North America, extended to the south as far as the boundary line between the United States and Mexico.
