North American Yellow Bats, 'Dasypterus,' and a List of the Named Kinds of the Genus Lasiurus Gray
Hall, E. Raymond (Eugene Raymond)
Bats
In the following accounts, localities of occurrence in each state are
listed from north to south; if two lie in the same latitude, the
westernmost is listed first. Localities that are italicized are not
shown on the distribution map (Fig. 2), either because undue crowding
of symbols would result or, in several cases, because we could not
precisely place the localities. Length of forearm is the average of
both forearms in individuals in which both forearms could be measured.
