In the first decade of April 1960, a second specimen of N. lasiopterus was found in a stable by a schoolboy.A short note was published on it with no exact locality (TOPÁL 19 69), and mentioned as occuring westward to the Danube. The locality is Szabadegyháza. The Natural History Museum received the specimen by the courtesy of Mr J. BORS, the local schoolteacher. The living animal was handed over to Dr M. ORSZÁG to keep it in captivity and to take photos of it.The female was in good health and as early as on 30th April showed signs of pregnancy. Parturition took place on 15th June. On the following day the newborn male had a 26, 5 mm long forearm and 9, 85 g body weight. The eyes were opened by the end of the first week. At the beginning, the young animal grew rapidly, but it was roughly three weeks old when its mother stopped lactating. The young bat did not accept solid food, only liquids (it had, however, well developed teeth). It become arrested in growth and died on 31st August. By that time its forearm reached 53, 6 mm. The mother died in the second half of May of the following year (19 61). By then she had lost a good part of her fur. It was preserved in alcohol, along with her young. Another abnormality, probably due to the captivity, is a depression on the left dorsal surface of the rostrum. The third occurrence of the species was recorded by Mr L. HARASZTHY (Hungarian Nature Preservation Office) in 1974. When collecting owl pellets, he found numerous dried mummies of bats (E. serotinus and N. noctula) , and among them a partly destroyed one, of N. lasiopterus in the attic of the church at Tápióbicske. The material naturally fails to disclose any hints concerning the year, the season, or the circumstances of death. One may infer, however, that along with the Noctules it was a temporarily resting or even a hibernating specimen of the Giant Noctule. In accordance with the above list I plotted the known localities on a map. It is evident that the species in question occurs on the plains and in the mountains, although it is very rare. One can expect its occurrence in all localities where N. noctula lives. The young individual from the Bükk mountains is evidence enough for the existence of a reproductive population in Hungary, while the pregnant one from Szabadegyháza might have been a migrating animal. Just as in the case of Vespertilio murinus , it would be worthwhile to review all European data for a better understanding of the distribution of N. lasiopterus on the Continent. TOPÁL Gy.: A Vespertilio murinus LINNAEUS és a Nyctalus lasiopterus (SCHREBER) (Mammalia: Chiroptera) újabb előfordulásai Magvarországon A szerző a dolgozatában 2 denevér fajnak, a kétszínű denevérnek és az óriás korai denevérnek magyarországi lelőhelyeit adja közre. Az előfordulási adatok értékelése során különös tekintettel van e két fajnak az ország területén való átvonulására, telelésére, és szaporodásbiológiájára.
