[Eeceived January 5, 1886.] Bonaparte1 was the first naturalist who wrote upon Italian Chiroptera; but his researches are too general, and there are no indications of southern localities contained in his work. Later on, Prof. C. G. Costa gave in 18392 a catalogue of ' 'Iconografia della Fauna Italica': Eoma, 1832-41. 2 ' Elenco dei Mammiferi e Supplemento.' (Fauna del Eeguo di Napoli.) |
