Topál, Gy.: Some observations on the nocturnal activity of bats in Hungary 139-166. o.

decrepit little church standing among the large trees in the park of the famous spa, about 10 km from the SW comer of lake Balaton. The bats used the open loft-door, about 7 m above ground. The opening faced the nearby woody slope, toward the west« At the time of study, the population con­sisted of Myotls myoti s and M. oxygnathu s. The edifice was torn down in 1965. Görömbölytapolca Cave (20°45'E, 48°3'N; 140 m a.s.l.). In the grounds of the Miskolctapolca Spa, 6 km from Miskolc. Some vents of the hardly 30 m long cave open on the mountain slope above it the observation aperture faces the east. It is surrounded by forests, further away by agricultural fields, but the basins and artificial lake of the spa are in its immediate vicinity. In 1956, the cave had been claimed for cave-baths, for the utilization of the mild to warm mi­neral waters rising in it. In spite of every effort of the spa authorities, bats still use the cave. In the fifties, the majority of the summer population was represented by Rhinolophus euryal e, besides smaller per cents of Miniopte­rus schreibers i, Myotis myoti s, M. oxygnathu s, and M . enar­glnatu s. Owing to its high winter temperature, the cave was not used as a hibernating site by the bats. Abaliget Cave (18°7'E, 46°8'N; 220 m a.s.l.). In the immediate vicinity of the village Abaliget in the Mts. Me­csek, 12 km NW from the town of Pécs. The cave opens toward the north, at the foot of a woody mountain slope. In the south, the mountains are covered by forests, in the north there extend the agricultural fields of the village.Recently the cave, with a brook in its main branch of about 500 m, was developed and electricity brought in, and an artificial lake constructed in the marshy meadow in front of the cave. Until recently, the cave served for the summer lodging of Minlopterus schreibers i, but even in those times, its chief role was as winterquartes for several species. Miskolc (20°46'E, 48°6»N; 100 m a.s.l.). In the pinnacle
