OCCURRENCE OF NATTERER'S BAT IN NORTH WALES.
By J. Backhouse, F.L.S. (Plate IV.)
During July of the present year the writer received a box containing thirty-six living specimens of Natterer's Bat (Vespertilio nattereri) from North Wales. These were all captured in an old ruin not far from the sea, and, along with a dozen or so more, were taken from a hole in the masonry formerly occupied by Jackdaws. The collection consisted of both old and young, and nearly all have been most carefully preserved.
The occurrence of this comparatively rare British Bat in such large numbers is most interesting, and especially so because the young are of almost all ages—some so very juvenile as to be hardly capable of spreading their membranes.
So little known are the young of this species that a few words by way of description, along with a photographic reproduction of a specimen taken after preservation, may not be out of place.
During life the young Natterer's Bat is darker above than the adult, and noticeably paler beneath—in fact, nearly pure white. The specifically characteristic long spur and hairy margin to the distal portion of the interfemoral membrane is equally observable in the young. Another recognizable point in both old and young ​of V. nattereri appears to be the presence of hairs upon the feet, a point overlooked by Bell (1874), though pointed out by Lord Clermont in 1859. Some of the young in the "bunch" above referred to were more downy than hairy above, especially about the face.
Natterer's Bat, which is of somewhat local occurrence in our own country, is found distributed through Europe as far as its easternmost confines, but does not appear to range beyond Southern Sweden in the north, or beyond the Alps in the south.

# The Zoologist/4th series, vol 4 (1900)/Issue 704/Obituary for Dr. Elliott Coues, Dresser

OBITUARY.
Dr. Elliott Coues.
Another first-rate ornithologist has, we regret to say, gone home to his last resting-place, and will be sorely missed, not only in America, but also in Europe, and especially in England, where he was personally known to so many of us.
Dr. Elliott Coues, who passed away on Christmas Day last at the comparatively early age of fifty-seven, was not only a most painstaking and hard-working cabinet naturalist, but equally good as a field naturalist, as shown by the good fieldwork he did during the many years he served as assistant-surgeon in the U.S. army. Not only was he one of the first authorities on North American ornithology, but he also did excellent work, in conjunction with Mr. J.A. Allen, in the study of North American mammals, and especially in the publication of their work on the 'Fur-bearing Animals.' His separately published works, by which his name is best known, are the 'Key to North American Birds,' 'The Birds of the North-West,' 'The Birds of the Colorado Valley,' and 'Check-List of North American Birds'; but besides these, his various articles in periodicals are numerous, and of considerable value.
Dr. Coues was an unusually hard worker, as no trouble was too great for him when working out a difficult problem; and he was also enthusiastic to a degree. On whatever subject he wrote he displayed great originality of thought, and his pen was verily that of a ready writer. A firm friend and an excellent companion, he was also, as so often is the case, a somewhat bitter enemy.
The writer and he have been on friendly terms during the past thirty years, and when he was in England he stayed with him, and many and pleasant were the discussions on ornithology that took place, especially those on trinomial nomenclature, on which each held very different views.
​Dr. Coues, who was one of the founders of the American Ornithologists' Union, and at one time its President, became Professor of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at Norwich University, Vermont, in 1869, and held the chair of Anatomy in the National Medical College from 1877 to 1883. For some months prior to his death he had been in bad health, and on the 6th of December underwent "a serious surgical operation; his death, which took place at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, resulting from the same.

EDITORIAL GLEANINGS.
Part III. of 'The Vertebrate Fauna of Bedfordshire,' by J. Steele-Elliott, has reached us. The publication has hitherto been slow, but the author hopes to accelerate it in future. Of the Jay (Garrulus glandarius) we read that in northern Bedfordshire this bird is particularly abundant, and its depredations noticeable. "In Angers Wood during the present year (1899) I was particularly struck with the innumerable nests of Blackbirds and Thrushes, none of which contained eggs, and in all probability had been robbed by these 'avian birds'-nesters.'"
"The Caradoc and Severn Valley Field Club" have issued their 'Transactions' for 1899. In the account of a half-day excursion to Birmingham, which was principally undertaken to see the collection of British Birds in the possession of Mr. R.W. Chase, many interesting jottings will be found by the British ornithologist. "There are three specimens of Richard's Pipit, two of them obtained near Birmingham; and the only specimen of the Siberian Bunting obtained in Britain, taken at Flamborough Head."
The military correspondent of the 'Westminster Gazette' has brought the teachings of zoology to the aid of practical warfare. "I have a theory on this subject which I should much like to see practically tested. My readers will doubtless have noticed that the coats of all animals which depend for their existence on their comparative invisibility in their ordinary surroundings shade off to a lighter colour—usually white—underneath. I believe that, following this hint from Nature, our troops would become infinitely less conspicuous if their coats were of the ordinary shade of khaki or drab, their breeches somewhat lighter in tone, and their putties or leggings lighter still. At present, when men are dressed in one uniform tint of khaki, the lower limbs, being in shadow, appear very much darker, and consequently add to the conspicuousness of the soldier. This will be speedily noticeable if the photographs from the seat of war are studied. It will then be noticed that in many cases the upper halves of our troops are barely distinguishable, but that their lower limbs, much darker than the remainder, stand out quite sharply, though the colour of the clothes and the colour of the background are in each case the same."

# The Zoologist/4th series, vol 4 (1900)/Issue 704/Obituary for Dr. Karl Russ, Butler

Published in The Zoologist, 4th series, vol 4, issues 704 (February, 1900), p. 81.
Dr. Karl Russ.
Dr. Karl Russ, the eminent German student of bird-life, died on Sept. 29th, 1899. By his death both scientific aviculture and ornithology have sustained a severe loss.
Dr. Russ was always careful either personally to describe, or to obtain accurate descriptions of, the young plumage of all birds bred in captivity, from the egg until the change to the adult plumage; he noted the character and number of eggs, the duration of incubation, the age at which the young left the nest, and that at which their adult plumage was attained. Lastly, he carefully noted the colouring and variation in the soft parts in every adult bird which he described.
Russ was the son of an apothecary, and was born on Jan. 14th, 1833; he was therefore only in his sixty-seventh year when he died; yet he lived to complete the last volume of what he himself calls "the principal work" of his life in 1898, and saw it published in 1899.
'Die Fremdländischen Stubenvogel,' in four volumes, with effective (though hardly scientific) chromo-lithographic plates, is well worth the consideration of the most exclusive ornithologists; they may find much therein which will be new to them—facts as to seasonal changes of plumage, which some have hesitated to believe in, are proved by actual experience; several differences in the colouring of soft parts are indicated; with many other details of importance.

This is the first of twelve poems on the same subject: 1. On Dan Jackson's Picture; 2. On the same; 3. On the same; 4. On the same; 5. Dan Jackson's Defence; 6. Mr. Rochfort's Reply; 7. Dr. Delany's Reply; 8. Sheridan's Reply; 9. A Rejoinder, by the Dean; 10. Another Rejoinder, by the Dean; 11. Sheridan's Submission, by the Dean; and 12. To the Rev. Daniel Jackson.
ON DAN JACKSON’S PICTURE, CUT IN SILK AND PAPER.
TO fair lady Betty Dan sat for his picture, And defy'd her to draw him so oft as he piqu'd her. He knew she'd no pencil or colouring by her, And therefore he thought he might safely defy her. Come sit, says my lady; then whips up her scissar, And cuts out his coxcomb in silk in a trice, sir. Dan sat with attention, and saw with surprise How she lengthen'd his chin, how she hollow'd his eyes; But flatter'd himself with a secret conceit, That his thin lantern jaws all her art would defeat. Lady Betty observ'd it, then pulls out a pin, And varies the grain of the stuff to his grin: And, to make roasted silk to resemble his raw bone, She rais'd up a thread to the jet of his jaw bone; Till at length in exactest proportion he rose, From the crown of his head to the arch of his nose; ​And if lady Betty had drawn him with wig and all, 'Tis certain the copy had outdone the original. Well, that's but my outside, says Dan with a vapour, Say you so, says my lady; I've lin'd it with paper.

ON DR. SHERIDAN'S CIRCULAR VERSES.
BY MR. GEORGE ROCHFORT.
WITH musick and poetry equally blest, A bard thus Apollo most humbly addrest; "Great author of harmony, verses, and light! Assisted by thee, I both fiddle and write. Yet unheeded I scrape, or I scribble all day, My verse is neglected, my tunes thrown away. Thy substitute here, Vice-Apollo, disdains To vouch for my numbers, or list to my strains; Thy manual signet refuses to put To the airs I produce from the pen or the gut. Be thou then propitious, great Phœbus! and grant Relief, or reward, to my merit, or want. Though the Dean and Delany transcendently shine, O brighten one solo or sonnet of mine! With them I'm content thou shouldst make thy abode; But visit thy servant in jig or in ode; ​Make one work immortal: 'tis all I request." Apollo look'd pleas'd; and, resolving to jest, Reply'd, "Honest friend, I've considered thy case: Nor dislike thy well-meaning and humourous face. Thy petition I grant: the boon is not great; Thy works shall continue; and here's the receipt. On rondeaus hereafter thy fiddlestrings spend: Write verses in circles: they never shall end."

ON ONE OF THE WINDOWS AT DELVILLE.
A BARD, grown desirous of saving his pelf, Built a house he was sure would hold none but himself. This enrag'd god Apollo, who Mercury sent, And bid him go ask what his votary meant? "Some foe to my empire has been his adviser: 'Tis of dreadful portent when a poet turns miser! Tell him, Hermes, from me, tell that subject of mine, I have sworn by the Styx, to defeat his design; For wherever he lives, the Muses shall reign; And the Muses, he knows, have a numerous train."
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 7/On Censure

ON CENSURE. 1727.
YE wise, instruct me to endure An evil, which admits no cure; Or, how this evil can be born, Which breeds at once both hate and scorn. Bare innocence is no support, When you are try'd in Scandal's court. Stand high in honour, wealth, or wit: All others, who inferiour sit, Conceive themselves in conscience bound To join, and drag you to the ground. Your altitude offends the eyes Of those who want the power to rise. The world, a willing stander by, Inclines to aid a specious lie: Alas! they would not do you wrong; But all appearances are strong! ​Yet whence proceeds this weight we lay On what detracting people say? For let mankind discharge their tongues In venom, till they burst their lungs, Their utmost malice cannot make Your head, or tooth, or finger ake; Nor spoil your shape, distort your face, Or put one feature out of place; Nor will you find your fortune sink By what they speak or what they think; Nor can ten hundred thousand lies Make you less virtuous, learn'd, or wise. The most effectual way to baulk Their malice, is — to let them talk.

ON THE SAME PICTURE.
WHILST you three merry poets traffick To give us a description graphick Of Dan's large nose in modern sapphick;
I spend my time in making sermons, Or writing libels on the Germans, Or murmuring at whigs' preferments.
But when I would find rhyme for Rochfort, And look in English, French, and Scotch for't, At last I'm fairly forc'd to botch for't.
Bid lady Betty recollect her, And tell, who was it could direct her To draw the face of such a spectre?
I must confess, that as to me, sirs, Though I ne'er saw her hold the scissars, I now could safely swear it is hers. ​'Tis true, no nose could come in better; 'Tis a vast subject stuff'd with matter, Which all may handle, none can flatter.
Take courage, Dan; this plainly shows, That not the wisest mortal knows What fortune may befal his nose.
Show me the brightest Irish toast, Who from her lover e'er could boast Above a song or two at most;
For thee three poets now are drudging all, To praise the cheeks, chin, nose, the bridge and all, Both of the picture and original.
Thy nose's length and fame extend So far, dear Dan, that every friend Tries, who shall have it by the end.
And future poets, as they rise, Shall read with envy and surprise Thy nose outshining Cælia's eyes.

On Mrs. BIDDY FLOYD;
OR, THE RECEIPT TO FORM A BEAUTY.
WHEN Cupid did his grandsire Jove intreat To form some Beauty by a new receipt, Jove sent, and found, far in a country scene, Truth, innocence, good nature, look serene: From which ingredients first the dextrous boy Pick'd the demure, the awkward, and the coy. The Graces, from the court did next provide Breeding, and wit, and air, and decent pride: These Venus cleans from every spurious grain Of nice, coquet, affected, pert, and vain. Jove mix'd up all, and the best clay employed; Then call'd the happy composition Floyd.

# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 7/On Dreams

ON DREAMS.
AN IMITATION OF PETRONIUS.
"Somnia quæ mentes ludunt volitantibus umbris," &c.
THOSE dreams, that on the silent night intrude, And with false flitting shades our minds delude, Jove never sends us downward from the skies: Nor can they from infernal mansions rise; But are all mere productions of the brain, And fools consult interpreters in vain.
For, when in bed we rest our weary limbs, The mind unburden'd sports in various whims; The busy head with mimick art runs o'er The scenes and actions of the day before.
The drowsy tyrant, by his minions led, To regal rage devoies some patriot's head. With equal terrours, not with equal guilt, The murderer dreams of all the blood he spilt.
The soldier smiling hears the widow's cries, And stabs the son before the mother's eyes. With like remorse his brother of the trade, The butcher, fells the lamb beneath his blade.
The statesman rakes the town to find a plot, And dreams of forfeitures by treason got. Nor less Tom-t—d-man, of true statesman mould, Collects the city filth in search of gold.
Orphans around his bed the lawyer sees, And takes the plaintiff's and defendant's fees. His fellow pick-purse, watching for a job, Fancies his finger's in the cully's fob. ​The kind physician grants the husband's prayers, Or gives relief to long-expecting heirs. The sleeping hangman ties the fatal noose, Nor unsuccessful waits for dead men's shoes.
The grave divine, with knotty points perplext, As if he was awake, nods o'er his text: While the sly mountebank attends his trade, Harangues the rabble, and is better paid.
The hireling senator of modern days Bedaubs the guilty great with nauseous praise: And Dick the scavenger with equal grace Flirts from his cart the mud in *****'s face.
