inx Animal In Indla.
CHANGING one evening to observe a
rather large bat enter an Clubhouse from
which there was no other egress than
by the doorway, was fortunate in be-
Ing able to procure a light and thus to
proceed to the capture Of the animal.
Upon fading Itself pursued it took
three or four turns around the npart.
Nent, when down dropped what at til.
moment supposed to be its young and
which deposited in my handkerchief.
After 4 somewhat tedious chase l then
secured the object Of my pursuit. which
proved to be fine female megaderma.
I then looked to the other bat which
had picked up and to my considerable
surprise found It to be small kind OF
pipistreIle. which IL exceedingly album
dant throughout India.
The individual now referred to was
feeble from loss OF blood, which it WAS
evident the megailerma had been suck
ing from q large and still bleeding
wound under and behind the ear, AMI
the very obviously suctorial form OF
the mouth OF the megaderma was itself
sufficient to hint the strong probability
Of such being the case. During the
very short time that elapsed before
entered the clubhouse It did not appear
TINT the depredator had once alighted,
and am satisfied that 1t sucked the
vital fluid from its victim as 1t few,
having probably seized 1t on the wing,
and that It was seeking a quiet nook
where It might devour the body at
leisure.
kept both animals separate till next
morning, when, procuring convenient
cage, I, first put In the megaderma, and
after observing 1t for some time I
placed the pipistrelle with it. No soon
er was the latter perceived than the
other fastened upon 1t with the ferocity
Of tiger, again seizing it behind the
ear, and made several efforts to fly OF
with It; but, finding it must needs stay
within the precincts Of the cage. it soon
hung by the hind legs to one side Of its
prison and after sucking its victim till
no more blood was LETT commenced de-
youring 1t and soon left nothing but the

Marriage by capture is very old

Abduction became so common in Eng

OF Elizabeth which took away the ben

for the goal Of IN ambition too often
associated with the deepest and most
poignant disappointment, while to the
