Summary (1) The greatest age ofMyotis myotis hitherto ascertained by means of the marking method, is 12 years. (2) The annual loss, observed with striking regularity, amounts to 40%. (3) It is remarkable that in the first years of control the number of losses of females is far higher than that of males. This observation coincides with the ascertained fact that the reported number of females found dead is nearly double the corresponding number of males. (4) According to the notifications of dead animals found the months most rich losses are May and June. Evidently the females are particularly exposed to peril by the development of the embryo which takes place at that time, and by the breeding of their young ones.
