BATS
Bats are the least known of Essex mammals, and we
probably know more of our marine mammals than we do our
bats. So here is the field where you can contribute to
our knowledge.
Have you ever seen a bat in Essex? Was it flying,
or resting under the eaves when the new drain pipe was
fitted? Do they fly in the evening over the pond in the
park or between the trees at the end of the road. Bats
have been seen in Essex. Some at Chigwell, some at
Hainault, and some deep in the Beccontree Council Estate
in Dagenham. But what of the rest of the county?
Information, please, even if you only thought you
saw one or heard a rapid squeaking while walking one
evening-, To Ron Allen, 26 Burnside Road, Dagenham,
Essex.

of this book that, due to the poor binding, many pages
soon began to fall out. The fault has been recognised by
the publishers, and a free copy of the new edition with
an improved binding may be obtained by sending the title
page only and a note explaining the fault to: Mr, K. Denham,
