Abstract
The skulls, temporal bones and cochleas of some insect-eating night-feeding bats have been examined. The minute structure of the cochlea is considered with regard to the use of ultrasonic waves and their echoes for locating obstacles and prey in complete darkness. A theory as to how these animals find their way through obstacles to their food is put forward.
