Some very large bats of the trop- les feed upon fruits, but our bats are all insect feeders and deserve protection as our song-birds.

They do not use It for bathing, however, wash their faces with the front part of the wing. If their fur is rumpled they comb It out neatly with the éharp claws on their hind feet. Our commonest and largest species is the big brown bat, which ranges over most of the continent from La- Mimumath Cave of Kentucky.
