"Asinus Domesticus!" ejaculated the Doctor, drawing his breath like one who had been near suffocation. "There is no doubt of the genus; and I will always maintain that the animal is not of the species, equus. This is undeniably Asinus himself, Ellen Wade; but this is not the Vespertilio Horribilis of the prairies!
The present was a very large specimen, with a beautifully soft skin, and as it was the only one noticed during a residence of nearly six months at the same place, it was in all probability a stray animal. VESPERTILIO. Little black Bat. This diminutive little animal flew into my tent at the Depot, attracted by the light. It is not common in that locality, or any other that we noticed.
The Lower Silurian has been divided into, first, the Bala Group; secondly, the Llandeilo flags; and, thirdly, the Arenig or Lower Llandeilo formation. Orthis tricenaria, Conrad. Orthis vespertilio, Sowerby. Shropshire, N. and S. Wales. Two-thirds natural size.
From that moment the world has heard no more of the Vespertilio Horribilis Americanus, and the natural sciences have irretrievably lost an important link in that great animated chain which is said to connect earth and heaven, and in which man is thought to be so familiarly complicated with the monkey.

Besides these are observed a small Vespertilio with short ears, a Mustela, and a Phoca.
This trophy was composed of the heads of bucks and rams, with those of the fox and the ounce, where the shrunken skin displayed the pointed sierra of the teeth, while the horns of oxen and goats, set end to end around the borders, formed dark and rigid festoons: all vacancies were filled up with the forms of bats, spread-eagled and nailed fast, from the smallest variety to the large, man-attacking vespertilio.
He was interrupted by another burst of merriment from Ellen, which served, in some measure, to recall him to his recollection. "The image of the Vespertilio was on the retina," the astounded enquirer into the secrets of nature observed, in a manner that seemed a little apologetic, "and I was silly enough to mistake my own faithful beast for the monster.
"There is still an order that I have not named, which you have also seen. The primates is it not true?" "I cannot say. I know no animal by that name." "Nay, Ellen, you confer with a friend. Of the genus, homo, child?" "Whatever else I may have had in view, I have not seen the vespertilio horribi " "Hush, Nelly, thy vivacity will betray us!
